[1.0.11] valve automation active parameter unclear
currently, at first glance, it's unclear that there are two conditions.
putting a grey filter over the inactive condition and/or expanding the highlight from "on" and "off" to the entire element would be more obvious

I cannot upvote this hard enough.
That it has flow rates for OFF (assumed to be zero) and ON is the big problem. It could also be addressed as a Clarity-of-language problem. Changing the OFF text to instead read ALWAYS would make the behavior Significantly more in line with expected functionality.
I know the pilot light on my waterheater will always be leaking out gas, that is an edge case and expected behavior.
If I turn my kitchen stove's burner to "Off" Would you expect it to be leaking out gas? I sure wouldn't, it's OFF.
No means NO, and off means OFF, give the valves some bodily autonomy 'eh? -

Jcheungah... unlike your stove, "off" is signal state 0, not actually off. there's times where you actually want it to open then.
on the other hand, signal state 0 could just actually be fully closed always, that would also be an option to simplify things
