There is a possibility that NOT installing the gtk component causes this, but I don't want to install it. The autokey-gtk version is in Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2 where an earlier attempt at using qt failed, and using Kubuntu 22.04.3 solely with autokey-qt to enhance my understanding and hoping to

This model comes with two automatic valves with 90 degree angles to shut off both hot and cold water when water is detected.

Absolute Automation has been in business since 1992 serving customers across Canada.  We specialize in remote monitoring solutions, alarms smart home products and water damage prevention products.

If you happen to accidentally run some questionable code with sudo in it, it will just run without giving you a chance to change your mind. That's kind of the whole point of sudo in the first place. This might include malicious code running from a website you visit as well although that's less likely because almost no one leaves it unlocked like that.

The FloodStop controller has a built in "normally open" relay that closes when triggered.  This relay output can be connected to an auto dialer, alarm system or automation system.

I also added my name and permissions to the /etc/sudoers file to let me restart without 'sudo'. The contents of this file has no effect on Kubuntu Kwin system.

I don't think your sudoers mod is the best way to do that. It appears to be a huge security hole. If anyone walks up to your logged in computer, they can do any elevated command if you're not there to stop them.

FloodStop automatic flood prevention devices use a wired water sensor to detect a leak.  When water is sensed, the FloodStop controller automatically closes the water valve to help avoid devastating water damage.  At the same time an alarm sounds.

The FloodStop V4 controller can be powered with the included plug-in power supply with 4 AA batteries as a back up instead of power failure.  Or where a receptacle isn't available for power, it can be run batteries only.  Full time power is recommended where available.

I think adding your user to the sudo group is better. It still requires your password for sudo to work. If you want to, there's a timeout parameter in the sudoers file you can set so that the permissions stay live for e.g. 15 minutes in a shell after you first enter the correct password.

Washing machines or their water lines can easily spring a leak from age, due to a malfunction or when something gets accidentally added to the wash.  Hoses can rupture, fittings may crack and so on.  FloodStop gives you peace of mind and prevents excessive water damage when something does wrong.

When selecting restart in Kubuntu, the process defaults to the 30 second delay for all users because of autokey-qt is still running. When autokey-qt is exited manually prior to the restart, it is immediate.
