Thanks Mat.

[@mdalacu]

It looks like Giex 02 , same functions, same price. I use 3 v1 and 3 v2 for over 2 months with 2 watering daily. Battery is now at 80%. All of them controlled by HA using an USB SkyConnect. For safety i have doubled the system with a smart plug which controls the garden water pump. Last thing in watering automation in Home Assistant is to turn off the pump...so no surprises ;)

[@user-vp9gn9bg2e]

I hope they'll release a version for Thread/Matter. And it would be great if it would handle timers/schedules locally on-device, such that missing a network packet wouldn't result in a catastrophy. And like you say, it should be fail-safe in case of power loss.

[@notenoughtech]

Timers are done on the device as mentioned just not automation. So if you trigger it via automation... This is where things could go sideways

[@user-vp9gn9bg2e]

@@notenoughtech But in this case you could send a safer command like this: "open valve at time x and autonomously close it after y minutes". That way, automation is possible without the risk of missing a "close valve" message.

[@notenoughtech]

Sonoff hubs should gain the Matter support soon and they will expose their devices via matter to other ecosystems

[@chrisbradshaw1144]

So could you use the leak sensor to stop the Water Valve from operating ? ie, if it rains then don't bother watering

[@notenoughtech]

You can use water leak sensory as your trigger

[@FahmiiYusof]

Would be interested to put the water valve on my home mains so I can finally get water usage in home assistant. All the other alternatives are so expensive at >200+ usd It could also be used as an emergency shut off valve if there is a leak somewhere. I wonder how easy it would be to build that automation in HA.

[@notenoughtech]

I have exactly the same thoughts about it - mostly to build up leak prevention system

[@rajilsaraswat9763]

Does the valve work with zigbee2mqtt?

[@notenoughtech]

It will.. Just the matter of days really

[@i_am_not_a_pro_but_lets_try]

I'd assume that if the power is removed, it simply leaves the valve in the last state - either open or closed. I would worry more if it opened the valve when it loses power.

[@notenoughtech]

Yeah that'd the case. It would be interesting to put it in line with the main water supply as a meter and emergency shut off.

[@i_am_not_a_pro_but_lets_try]

@@notenoughtech I'm wondering if I could put it in my attic on the flow to the central heating system, as that would allow me to shut it off, drain the system, and do everything I need to, without having to climb in to the attic to turn the water on and off. or maybe I need to just pick up one of the many (more expensive) zigbee water valves.

[@kevinhawkins4692]

Can this be left out when temperature is below freezing ?

[@notenoughtech]

i don't want to say YES, but considering how little water was left in the unit when disconnected, perhaps you could get away with it.

[@PeterScargill]

Based in the Northeast of England - not sure why your reference to price in dollars?

[@notenoughtech]

Because the biggest traffic according to analytics comes from USA

[@stuartmottram3467]

How can I get this posted to the UK? I need this in my life
