Thank you
agree Richard Benham : Fine, but "analogical" is rubbish: should be "analog[ue]".//I'll pass that on to my friend Robert.

Thank You, Vicky
agree Terry Richards : You could also use "toggles" or "flips" for "changes". They are more binary than "changes"

Thank you, Julianne
agree Tony M : The verb should be 'changes' (because 'le pressostat' is singular), but I support 'changes state' as being about the most common way of expressing it
