Yes, the switches would need to remember their last set
state.  Ideally,
this would be done through the use of electric pneumatic
switches which,
when not receiving any power, simply stay in the last
position they were
set in.  If this isn't practical then yeah... electronics
would need to
be hooked up to keep the switches in their last set state.


That sounds like a coil would have to stay energized, consuming power
all the time.  When power is removed, the state would be reset.

Using a motor to move a mechanical valve control would eliminate that
problem, but then feedback would be needed to determine valve state.
