#101235 - You missed the important point!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik said you can do this, but continued:

I have seen such schemes, half of which failed when some environmemtal condition (temperature, dust, dirt etc) changed.

The trouble is that this is only an indirect indication of when the valve is shut.
If the valve gets stiff, the motor current will increase and your circuit will think that the valve is shut when it isn't!

Hence if you need to know tht the valve is really shut, you need to use somehting that will detect that directly - such as a microswitch.
