Title says it all. Shelly devices are only rated up to 105F, and I need to control an outlet in my attic (it powers a hot water recirculation pump). It needs to work with an inductive load since it’s powering a motor.

Any suggestions? It can be Z-Wave, Zigbee, or WiFi. Will tie back to Home Assistant.

    I’m not a plumbing expert and don’t know your pump brand, but most recirculating pumps I’ve seen are at, or near, the lowest part of the household piping, to reduce wear from pumping air, and to be accessible for maintenance. I would not want an electronic motorized machine that pumps water above the ceiling being roasted all summer.

    No doubt it was a hassle for you to install the pump and outlet in the attic, but are you sure this was the best long-term solution?
