Anyone set up panic buttons for their spouse or house sitters?

In the event of water on floor, press this.

Function:
Turn off lights, main pumps, feeders, ozone, skimmers, reactors, heater in overflow (its gonna boil if mains are off).

Turn on, Circulation pumps to high, and leaves back up heater in display in "auto" mode.

Ive got some extra switch ports now that i have 3 break out boxes and 4 optical sensors, thinking about using one of the empty ports for this.

I havent figured out to set up a big dome button with a red flashing light but if i make one, its going to be wired to some kind of an speaker that triggers an audible alarm that says (in a the star trek computer voice) "Self destruct has been activated. Please call owner or be destroyed".

The next thing would be to have it set up to interact with my smart home to turn all lights to 100% and lock all doors, set the nest to 77 degrees (heaters gonna be out) and then activate my sonos system to play the laughter section from Michael Jacksons thriller throughtout the whole house on a continuous loop.

I think all that could be done but might tick off my wife if it was something like a tiny drip from a reactor.

To be fair...the house won't kill them if they don't call me....but they might have wished it did........

One thing I did is program my apex so that if the temp gets too high, it turns my lights all to red. If it gets too cold, they all go to green. It's a good visual indicator that may help one day if I don't get a phone alert for some reason. I've tested it, but I hope I never need it.
