Smart Valve Controller T1,Matter Over Bridge,Requires Aqara Zigbee 3.0 Hub, Combined with Water Leak Detectors for Home, Supports App Remote Control Shutoff, Supports HomeKit, Alexa, Google

Had my plumber install this, which was quick and efficient. It gives me tremendous peace of mind about the potential of leaks given my aging Poly-B plumbing. I have 6 sensors strategically placed throughout the home. The sensors can be named so you know exactly which sensor is affected. In my tests it works flawlessly. A loud alarm goes off on the base hub module. The app also notifies with an alarm, and the valve reacts within seconds to shut off the main water. I was concerned that if a flood happened due to a storm situation I might have a power outage, so I connected the wifi router and base unit to a UPS battery backup, allowing the wifi to continue to work even if there’s a power outage. I no longer worry about my townhouse having a leak that would make me liable for damages. Huge peace of mind.

I installed this device to add peace of mind against leaks, and it works well once set up. The retrofit design fit my existing valve without plumbing changes, and pairing with the hub was straightforward. I like that it integrates with multiple smart home platforms, so I can control it through voice assistants. When paired with leak sensors, it shuts off water quickly, which is a big plus. The motor feels strong, though I did notice it struggles a bit with stiffer valves, so placement matters. Battery life has been solid so far, and the app makes scheduling easy. Overall, it’s a reliable smart upgrade, but best suited for valves that aren’t too tight.

I was hesitant to buy this shut off valve because of several reviews suggesting it might not fit my pipe anatomy. But I recently had a $8000 repair bill for water damage in my home and I was desperate for a solution that would prevent another water disaster. The Aqara shut off valve arrived quickly. I was impressed with the build quality. Expecting disappointment, I immediately went to the main water shut off valve in my basement to check if the device would fit. I was overjoyed to see that it was going to be a perfect fit! It was a very easy install, taking no more than 15 minutes. Now the real test- would the thing actually work? I’m pleased to say that it worked perfectly, completely closing and then opening the valve. Then I tested automatic function by placing one of my Aqara water sensors in a dish of water. Almost instantaneously the device began closing the water valve. In less than 15 seconds my main water valve was completely closed. Time will tell about battery life. But for now I am very pleased.

I utilize a large array of Aqara sensors - approximately 20 spread between temperaperature sensors in every room, leak sensors on every faucet and appliance, etc. One of my long term home automation dreams was to leverage the dozen leak sensors I have around the house and automatically turn off the water if a leak was detected.For YEARS I have been awaiting someone reputable to come out with a valve such as this one. I saw Aqara had launched this, and smashed the buy button. Being a mechanical engineer, there are some things that I want to share with the Aqara community, and maybe influence Aqara to make some improvements. If your valve looks like my attached picture, be cautious about purchasing if you're not handy and willing to cobble a solution together. Pros: -Strong motor with impressive torque coming from 4x AA batteries.. If your valve is in good working order, this thing will most likely rotate it. -Compact design. This thing will fit almost anywhere and it keeps a relatively low height profile. -Super easy pairing, standard for Aqara. Aqara app --> Add device --> T1 valve. Done! -Manual hand bypass is well done. Just push down on the large grey tab and you have complete freedom to move the valve by hand. The valve then recognizes where it is after you move it. -Manual electronic actuation is simple. Single button push will electronically actuate. -My valve handle fit into the actuation arm like a glove, nice snug fit. Cons: -Not enough flexibility in mounting. I have a 1" standard Apollo valve on my incoming line to my house. This will be a common configuration, and I expect others will run into the same problems I have, which I will expand upon below. The mounting brackets don't have enough height to clear the valve stem (handle mount). I had to make a "custom" spacer out of some PVC pipe to push the actuator further from the pipe. If I hadn't, the valve was at an awkward angle which would have decreased it's effectiveness. The mounting brackets also fell DIRECTLY on the seam between the valve and the pipe. This area has a height difference due to the diameter of pipe vs. valve. This made it really hard to stabilize the valve. I tried swapping the handle of the valve 180 degrees (quick removal of valve stem nut), but that didn't change where the mounting bracket was located. Finally, one hose clamp is not enough to deal with the torque of this motor at maximum. The above items caused the valve to want to "twist" in a few different directions, ultimately meaning that there was enough slop in the assembly that it didn't fully close the valve when requested. To constrain it a little more I used some zip ties on the handle to lock it down a little further. This was surprisingly effective. My setup works, but I was pretty disappointed that I had to go through all of this to get it to "work". I am going to keep working to improve the install as I want it to be bulletproof so it works if/when it needs to. Aqara can improve this design by: -Allowing for a vertical adjustment on the bracket. (closer/further from pipe). A two piece bracket with a simple channel/keyway with a slot for the bolt will allow this. -Make the bracket extend further away from the valve, down the length of the pipe. This will allow it to clear larger valves and mount directly to the pipe, including pro-press valves which are bigger than mine. -Design the bracket to utilize two hose clamps. This will VASTLY increase at the rigidity of the mounting method and make sure that it doesn't twist on the pipe. -I would recommend changing the valve handle "gripper" to be a two piece clamshell design. Instead of two arms to cradle the handle, just use a flat plate with two screws that secure to another flat plate on the other side. This will accommodate different valve handle sizes and further constrain the valve to prevent "twisting" (like my zip ties did).

When I could not connect to the valve with the m3 hub tech support asked for the hub info and found I had not downloaded the latest software update. I thought I had. When I did the hub and valve connected. I did have an issue with the reset on the valve. Had to do several resets before it took. Tech support was responsive. Valve and hub work exactly as intended. So far I’m pleased. Instruction manual very skimpy.

Sorunsuz çalışıyor, mesafede de sorun yaşamadık

Awesome device!! It works as the ad!! Easy Installation: The installation process is relatively simple. It typically fits into existing plumbing systems without needing professional help—same thing configuration. Water Leak Detection: The device pairs well with Aqara’s sensors and can be part of a more comprehensive water leakage prevention system. If paired with a water leak detector, it can automatically turn off the water supply when a leak is detected, helping to prevent potential damage. And the most important thing is you don't lose control of your system; you can open and close your valve manually.

fonctionne bien, très puissant attention aux tuyaux flexibles. il peut les tordres si vous ne l'installez pas correctement

Ottimo articolo, se montato correttamente come da istruzioni, veramente perfetto.

Does the job very well After trial and error I found the Peglar PB300 full bore valve to be the best option for fit and water flow. Can be got at Screwfix for £17
