Hi

I am wondering if there anything can automate opening and shutting down water through angle valve?

    I did it by measuring the torque required to turn the valve (using a spring balance on the end of a lever which operated the valve.

    Then bought a servo which had about double that torque rating - just so it has some in the bag if needed & won’t be over-stressed long term.

    I fabricated a bracket for mine - but this could more easily be 3D Printed.

    Then used an ESP32 (Arduino kind of thing) to control the servo.

    Unfortunately, I have no links or guides for you to follow - you’ll have to figure it out as you go.
