WiFi Valve Controller with Bluetooth Smart Water Gas Valve Automatic Remote Control Voice Control Smart Life & Tuya For Alexa Google Assistant

This wifi remote and automatic valve control is surprisingly sturdy and well-designed per my photos showing it installed on a 3/4" main water supply line with an about 1-inch-wide lever style shutoff that requires considerably more than a little force to open and close. The double straps definitely facilitated a far more stable and sturdy installation. However, the included components could've fit a considerably larger installation. We'd been using the Smart Life app for several years for temperature and solely leak sensors with no problem. Thus, no problem adding the valve control to the Smart Life app and linking it to our sensors. Done within minutes with no need for direction. Worked well fully turning the valve on/off. No problem finding the setting that keeps the valve open, closed, or indifferent after a powering on/off. As a few additional useful notes:- Our primary intent is emergency, rather than daily, use. Thus, I'm uncertain if this relatively inexpensive item would be suitable for daily or heavier use. However, the installation remained rock solid after vigorous testing both locally and remotely via wifi.- I did clean the area where I attached the controller to the pipe and apply "non-skid" tape with a sandpaper like finish similar to than used on stair and ladder treads per my photos before completing the installation to further ensure the controller didn't slip and discourage galvanic corrosion. The controller worked without the tape as well, but did flex a bit more.- I'm uncertain if the controller would work on larger pipes or particularly stubborn valves. However, likely worth a try if your valve turns reasonably freely with a handle that is less than about 2" wide.- Great alternative to the $300 to $600 or more options that typically require professional installation.- In addition, the more expensive options that "learn" a home's water use to help identify and shut down leaks located anywhere in the house typically require considerably longer and many gallons more to differentiate a major leak from heavy use and shut the valve, which is good, but still potentially devastating. Whereas this sensor driven option immediately closes the instant a connected sensor contacting any moisture.

My husband rigged a pipe from our bathroom to outside the front of our house so that I can hook up a hose to water our animals more easily. We have a turnoff valve at the spigot, but we also have one inside the bathroom so we can turn the water off in the winter, preventing the outdoor spigot from freezing. I have a bad habit of turning the water on inside and then forgetting to turn it off, so we bought this valve control. It's awesome and it works so well with Google Home- I get the hose to where I need it, say "hey google, turn on the water", and voila- easy peasy. And I no longer forget to turn it off inside, because I don't use the outside valve anymore; I just use this one!

We purchased one valve which was difficult to install but with some minor finagling, we were able to get it to work. Over a 7 month period it would frequently fall of the WiFi but always managed to reconnect without intervention. After 7 months, however, it stopped working completely, and when we went to unplug the device, the plug fell apart into 3 pieces. We ordered a new one, and when while installing it, the motor made a grinding noise and then froze. The device clearly is defective. Obviously these devices are poorly engineered and of dubious mechanical quality; they are simply not reliable. Look elsewhere for internet controlled valves.

I have a damper on my HVAC system that allows me to close off the upstairs air supply for winter to prevent the upstairs from getting too hot while the downstairs is cold. This works great during the day but at night, the upstairs is a little too cold so I wanted to automate the opening and closing of this damper. This was a cheap way to accomplish this without needing to cut into the ducting. I was able to finagle getting this installed in a nonconventional way and get it integrated into my smart home through Home Assistant. Now, when the system calls for Heat and it's at the specified time of day, the damper will close or open as programmed. You can use this with Google and through the Tuya application if you'd like for a more approachable set up. This seems well built enough, but I doubt it would open some stubborn water valves that I've seen. Also, when in the Open position, I've notices it doesn't fully "open" - as you can see in my picutre, the left and right should be perfectly straight but they're not. Its not the end of the world for me. I just hope it lasts.

It has been used for over a year now to control the outside water (it is installed in a basement on a valve that controls the water pipe to the outside). Wi-Fi connectivity and valve performance have been reliable so far.

It does the thing!easy to install and pair up with my other wifi devices.I'm using it for an emergency fire sprinkler that I can control from my phone, from a distance or remotely.

Finally got it all set up which wasn’t too hard but we had to install a new outlet to plug it into to and it crapped out. Worked once and then just made a little noise but wouldn’t turn on or turn the valve anymore. Definitely not worth the money. Will be looking for a different device in the future.
