Jinvoo Upgraded Version Smart Water Valve Closing, WiFi Water Valve, Automatic Ball Valve Watering Timer, Sprinkler Controller, Wireless Gas Shut-Off Valve Controller, Compatible with Alexa, Google

Update:The company stands behind their products and will make sure you are satisfied and get a great quality working smart valve.______Worked great for 4 months, but then one day it wouldn't open. I could connect to it and hear it make a click when i pressed the button to open or close, but I think the motor burned out.

Update: This unit has been consistently losing connection over the past months. The unit is only 8 months old. We recently had a leak under a sink that was detected by the water sensor, but the water was not shut off as the system is set up to do, because this device had lost connection. Currently the device will not connect to the zigbee network at all.Although it initially worked upon purchase, I cannot recommend this product as a long term solution given that it is already defective with limited use within less than a year.

Its good and works as intended. For the price you can't beat it. It is paired with HA and I have multiple water sensors that will turn off the valve if a leak is detected. I wish the design was a little different to better secure to the pipes without causing undue stress, but for how often it actually actuates, it gets the job done. No issues with it dropping from my zigbee network as well and the internal gear quality is far superior to the $200+ one it replaced.

The media could not be loaded. I've been looking into installing these valves on my water heater and main water line shutoffs for about a year. Well I waited too long, this week one toilet connection blew up and flooded the bathroom and hallway. Lesson learned, I ordered two of these the same day.Installation was easy, took about 10 minutes to install on the shut-off valves and pair with SmartThings v3 hub. Zigbee pairing was simple with the SmartThings app and the devices are listed as switches. I have rules setup to turn off both valves if any of my SmartThings water leak sensors are activated. If I'd had these valves in place 3 days ago I wouldn't have warping laminate flooring in the hall now ;)The device is ip65 waterproof so it can be installed outside. The casing is sealed, I assume there is a watertight o-ring inside (didn't take it apart). There is a release ring which allows for manual open\close of the value in case you lose power. The power button on top which controls the on\off (open\close) valve.The zigbee version requires a hub such as SmartThings, Tuya, HomeAssistant, etc. The device can be voice controlled via Google Home and Alexa assuming your smart hub has that integration. You can see the device at work in my short video review.

It won’t Connect to wifi

Hooked this up with leak sensors and home assistant to prevent any massive damage if it leaks when we're away. Thankfully haven't had to test it in action yet!

This one will work best on a ball valve that's new or easy to move. When installing, make sure to center the valve pivot point into the arm as outlined in the manual.I ended up fashioning additional bracing with two pieces of aluminum and a second hose clamp and now it's snug and reliably fully closes the valve.I've exercised it a dozen times in these last couple of months and its working.

I bought one of these to automate the shutoff of the water feed to my sprinklers, and I'd been eyeing devices like this for a few years. First, the method of attaching it to the pipe is weak and fiddly; I pondered getting a larger pipe clamp from the hardware store, but even then I knew this really needed at least 2 clamps and a stronger support to hold it in place.Next, my valve's handle isn't quite the same as pictured on the images for this product - the mount point to the valve is in the middle, so the pivot point is slightly different, and this product's arms don't go down far enough to engage. Again, I could have gone to the hardware store and put something together that worked, but I powered the device up and tried a test run - I didn't feel like this thing would have the power to reliably open/close the valve when there would be times I wouldn't be home to correct if something went wrong.The software itself is OK - it was easy to set up on my wifi and get going, and the app on the phone is good enough.In the end, I replaced the actual valve with a motorized ball valve from US Solid.
