WIFI & Bluetooth Smart Water Valve, DN15 Ball Brass Valve, WIFI Control Water Shutoff Valves Compatible With Alexa, Google and Application Program iOS/Android, Only 2.4GHZ WiFi(1/2")

This is one of those products, the successful application of which will depend in large degree on the mechanical aptitude of the installer. Note that there is an earlier version, with metal pipe clamp that attaches with bolts, and a later improved version that attaches with 2 SS hose clamps, this review is on the 2nd version shown in my pic. First the cons: The bracket that mounts to the pipe with SS hose clamps, was slightly bent in shipment I guess. The part of the bracket that mounts to the actuator, is secured with two 5mm hex drive 6mm screws. One side of the bracket has two 6mm rivet nuts and the holes on the other side did not align (the holes are fairly tight tolerance so wiggling wouldn't work. I had to clamp one side of the bracket in a vice and use an adjustable wrench to slightly torque the bracket to bring the holes into alignment. Not a big deal if you have the tools handy, but maybe a good idea to package better (the box was not damaged). I intended to measure the force needed to operate the valve as well as the force the actuator put out (using a digital weigh scale at right angles) - but in the end I just slapped it together to see if I'd get smoke of action . . . action it is! In the picture, the actuator is shown parallel to the wall, I had to cut a hole in the wall for clearance, figuring this would be easier than unsweating the valve in a maze of plumbing between well tank and radon remediation system. The actuator is rigid and does not appear to bend or flex as it moves the valve. On opening, actuator stops about 1/4" (measured at end of handle) before full travel of handle. The valve appears to be fully open in terms of flow volume, and pushing against handle moves it the last little bit. In the more important closing direction, it takes the handle fully to the stop, so that's good. Altogether a good value I think.

It won't shut off my valve. It's really difficult to get the alignment correct, even when lined up per the dismal instruction leaflet. When the valve is just about to be fully closed or open, the torque gives out and the motor is left with not enough power to finish the job. At this point the motor just keeps trying as there is also not enough torque to close the mechanical shutoff switch. So it's likely to stay on and eventually burn out. Additionally, you can see the whole product bending as it pushes the valve lever, so the product is visibly bending instead of continuing to push the shut off valve lever. The App and automation with IFTTT were great when paired with a leak detector, and it will turn on command, but that whole fact becomes useless when it can't close the valve which is the whole point of setting everything up. I can't comment on longevity and how long it works, because it outlived its usefulness at installation. There is no listed tech support contact and a google search comes up empty. Might work with another newer valve, but if I am paying a plumber anyway to replace the one I have now, I'd go with an alternative Smart Valve and have that installed at the same time. Sometimes the cheapest option is that way for a reason.

I was a little hesitant at first that this unit wouldn't work on my setup. My water valve is inside the wall very flush to the interior side of the exterior stucco of the house, and therefore the unit does not exactly fit flush over the top of the water valve. It's offset maybe 10-15 degrees, and therefore I didn't tighten the bottom clamp as tightly and left just a little bit of wiggle room. I was pleasantly surprised that the smart valve still works just fine even though it's not perfectly aligned on top of the water valve. The motor travels to full open and closed in both directions without issue. The Smart Life app was easy to set up and device paired perfectly the first time. Overall, I am very pleased this thing still works despite the alignment issues. Recommended!

It works great but for it would be much better if the torque has more power to move 1 inch valve easily. It struggles a bit turning the valve.

For the price, this is the way to go if you want to automate your main water shut off. No plumber needed and installation was easy. You have to make sure the center point of the smart valve lines up exactly with the center point of the water valve. Won't work if you can't make this fit happen. I did have to use a spacer to move the smartvalve farther away from the water valve. Otherwise they were touching and that won't work. I control my smart valve with the SmartLife app. I control my Govee water sensors around the house with the Govee app. I use IFTTT to close the smart valve if a water sensor detects a leak.

I installed this unit to cut our home water off when we leave our home and I forget. So time will tell how its durability survives, but so far, so good! ,,,,, UPDATE months later: On a cold winter morning it cut off on its own, without notification. So this caused me to think and search for frozen lines, thankfully I discovered it was this cut off that activated on its own without notification. I can activate it from anywhere. It really seems to work well. Just be sure you tightened the screw rings tight as you can without stripping. I had to modify the wall surroundings slightly so I could get the bands around the line where I installed it onto the water line. I like the parts included for different install applications. I also like that the power cord is long enough for a distant power source and the power cord connects in the middle to allow ability to thread down the wall. For the money especially, this unit is awesome. I was going to have a plumbing company install their similar version of this, but it was going to cost over $600. So this one was simple enough for me to install myself and save money. Only time will tell to completely recommend.

These work great and integrate easily with Tuya and home assistant. Make sure you take the time to tighten down the clamp, apply some rubber around the pipe before clamping for a more secure fit.

Funciona bastante bien, resistente al agua y al sol (3 semanas de instalado) su conexión con Alexa a través de tuyaSmart funciona bastante bien y no eh tenido errores de conexión. La utilizo en una rutina cuando no hay agua de municipio, esta válvula cierra el llenado del tinaco y un interruptor inteligente enciende la bomba hidroneumática para tener agua en la casa sin tener que abrir, cerrar, encender o conectar nada.

It stopped working within a month. If seller can replace this product, then it will be helpful for me. Otherwise, it is of no use

Excelente funcionamiento, conectado a 10 metros del router y funciona a la perfección . No compres temporizador de riego, limita el flujo de agua y no sirve para aspersor. Está válvula es ideal para regar con aspersor. El software es facil de instalar y amigable en el uso.

only comes with an adjustable bracket, no fixed bracket, It does not match the photo Very weak motor, not recommended
