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 recommend running a new cable into the attic, with the Zigbee/WiFi relay device in the utility room, garage, or basement, wired in parallel to a manual override switch.

    Another option is to disable the recirculation pump in the attic, and install another one (or the same one relocated) where it is more accessible. I have a Grundfos pump next to the hot water heater in the garage, and the pump is plugged into a battery-backed timer.
