Home Assistant integration

Hey guys I am trying to get some things to work between HA and my Elk. I just don't know the elk well enough but I recently moved all the elk automation for my water sensors and water valves to the elk. I would like to be able to set a switch in HA that would then set a switch in the ELK that would allow me to execute different automations. I can easily accomplish this logic in HA (and I was in the past before moving it) but now I want to move that logic to the ELK.

I have 3 valves in my home, one turns off the water in to the house the other 2 dump the cold and hot water so nothing continues to leak once a leak has been discovered. I want to have a flag to turn off the dump valves from running.

Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I use ELK counters as "flags" to communicate back and forth between HA-ELK and HS-ELK. In other words - if ELK Counter 1 changes to 1, then do this; if it is 2 then do that, etc.

I think I got it working. I setup an output in the elk and HA can control it. I added a AND IF to the automation when its on or off. I think the output being like output64 won't cause me any trouble since I don't believe I have a physical output that high anyway?
