WIFI Smart Water Valve Shut Off Tool Automatic Remote Control On And Off Electric Gas Shutoff Valve Main Compatible With Alexa

I'd give it 10 stars if I could. This thing works great! I have a water leak that we can not locate. I believe it's underground beneath my house, but we can find no wet areas. My water bill has doubled the past three months. The main water shut off valve is in my cellar, so I installed this device on it so that I can control the valve from inside my house. It has never failed to work perfectly. It has plenty of power to turn the valve handle and I believe it will last. Make sure to tighten the mounting bracket snugly to the unit before tightening the screw on the back side of the pipe. This bracket is designed to add strength to the unit when installed properly. *The small click you hear in the video is the back end of the valve handle slightly catching on the bracket. I need to adjust the bracket back slightly. Easy fix. It took about 5 minutes to install. Update: I still haven't had a chance to find my (slow) water leak due to weather and my waterline is buried about two feet deep under my house. I'm having to dig a ditch to even craw under the house. So I have Alexa turn the water valve on and off multiple times each day. I'm sure this device has operated over 1000 cycles by now. I'm very impressed with its durability. Most people would never use it this much in their lifetime. I'm thinking about buying a back up in case it does fail from excessive usage.

After having use these valves for several months now, I can say that they are very reliable. I have them linked to water sensors from another company through Google Home and whenever water is detected, they shut off so they prevent catastrophic flood damage. They integrate well into Google Home and into the Smart Home app which uses Tuya framework. For the cost, they work well. I had one valve go offline once, but the system did warn me by sending me an alert on my phone, so I went and unplugged it and plugged it back in and that resolve the issue. That's the only trouble I've had with them. Edit: they have both stopped working, reconnecting them by resetting the valves, however they constantly are disconnecting and making a small amount of noise. Still troubleshooting, but it is frustrating that resetting them is not resolving the issue.

Initially I had problems installing it. It did not shut the valve completely. But I went back and re-read the instructions and realized that I had mounted it too far from the center of the valve. I re-installed it and it works perfectly. Also the app and WiFi installations were quick and simple. Since I have several leak detectors around the house that can message me if there is a leak, I can now remotely turn off the water should a leak occur in the house.

This automatic water shut-off valve boasts sturdy construction and is crafted from durable materials. Not only does it serve its functional purpose, but it also pleases the eye with its aesthetic appeal. Installation is a breeze, aligning perfectly with the provided instructions. Every component in the package lives up to the supplier’s description. I acquired this valve to safeguard my home’s main water supply. With a water feed diameter of 1.5 inches, it fit snugly over my existing valve. However, here’s where the tale takes a twist: despite its promise, the automatic shut-off valve failed to cooperate with my stubborn old valve. The culprit? My existing valve’s resistance—perhaps a result of age or a calcium buildup within its inner workings. In fairness to the product, I suspect it would have performed flawlessly had my valve been new and easy to manipulate by hand. So, dear potential buyers, heed this advice: ensure your existing valve closes effortlessly before investing in this auto shut-off device. Its torque may fall short for some valves. On the bright side, this valve shines when dealing with smaller water pipes and gas lines. And the standout feature? The ability to remotely shut off your water supply during emergencies. A true lifesaver! Remember, it’s always essential to consider the compatibility of such devices with your existing setup. Happy plumbing!

I needed it for a vacation home, so that I can shut the water off remotely if there is a leak or during freezing weather. Because of its location I actually had to run it off a small solar panel and battery, which works just fine. It was easy to install, as long as you have a lever-type ball valve that you can install it on. I had limited clearance to the valve, as it was butted up against the backflow preventer on my water meter, so it took some modifications to get it to fit correctly. It draws very little power to maintain network connectivity, though it does have limited reception range. (In my case, the location has a lot to do with it, too) It sets up over Bluetooth, and works with the SmartLife app, which I already use for other IFTTT applications, and allows me to use other sensors such as leak and freeze sensors, to create scripts to operate the valve. I haven't run this through a bunch of cycles to see if it would last, but that's not the application I need it for. All and all, great item for the price.
