Reviving this after nearly a decade ... The typical disjoncteur general is an absolute nuisance that exposes the property to all sorts of damages and security risks - any automatic processes like plant watering, alarm system, security cameras are rendered useless. But, now there are disjoncteurs that rearm automatically. Google Schneider 18689 for example. There are also other manufacturers. The issue is that the current one is sealed by the EDF. I spoke to EDF about this and they offered to send someone out to unseal it, so I can have an electrician install an automatically rearming one. Unfortunately they didn't follow through with sending someone to unseal the current one, so I will have to talk to them again. This is obviously a very big problem, that needs urgent addressing. The voisons are not necessarily the solution, particularly when they're old and can barely deal with their own properties.
