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

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

agree  Julianne Rowland

  -> 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
