Unlock Home Safety Insights with YoLink Smart Valve Report

I had a water line break in my basement, this would have saved me a lot of money and headaches. I installed the auto shutoff valve on my main water line and placed 8 sensors throughout the house. Now, if I have a waterline freeze or break, once water hits one of the sensors, it will automatically shut the water off. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone who wants to protect the largest investment most of us make, our home. Great product with excellent technical support. Truly one of the best investments I have made in the last few years.

I installed this onto out main inlet value to the house that has a lever. We are away on vacation often and as fate has it, that is typically when things go wrong, not when you are home.

It was easy to install and works perfectly. The YoLink smart phone app is also very reliable and dependable. We have water leak sensors at every location around out home where there could be a possible leak and have no issues with communication over long distances. As soon as water is detected, the value turns off the water and notifies us via the app. We can also turn on or off the device away from home if needed. Note that the optional hub is needed for that ability.

The only reason this is not 5 star is mainly due to our valve. It is a very old valve and hard to turn even by hand. This unit still has the power to turn the lever, but I need to replace the batteries more often because as the batteries get weaker, it is harder for the valve to turn. In our case, the valve can be operated about 25 times before the batteries need to be replaced, so that is still really good. The main reason we operate it manually is to test it every couple of months.

We are confident that if a leak occurs anywhere in the home, this device along with the lead detectors (optional purchase) will handle the situation perfectly.

Because we have this in the home, our insurance company gives us a 15% discount on the premiums.

We ordered the YoLink Smart Water Valve Controller for use in a second home we have which is vacant for extended periods at times. We use it in conjunction with the Yolink Smart Water Leak Sensor system. We like the design that allows for installation which doesn't require a plumber. Installation is fairly straight forward, but might be a bit of a challenge for those less mechanically inclined with limited tools. Initial testing proved the device to be reliable. The ability to turn the main water valve on and off from hundreds of miles away via our cell phone provides great peace of mind.

I bought the system (valve controller plus manipulator) directly from Yosmart for $76. It works fine. Placement of manipulator must be tailored somewhat to your pipe configuration. Pairing of valve controller with water sensors also somewhat time consuming.

I got this for peace of mind in case my hot water heater were to leak since it is in my finished basement.
4 screws to attach it and it is able to turn the valve handle even though it is very hard to manually turn it.
I set it up with the direct link (no wifi needed) to a Yolink water sensor, so it can work even without any power/internet in the home.

I like the product it works well,we have the sensors on our sinks and around the water heater. I have it set up so if we have any leaks Alexa notifies us and so does the app on my phone. The water heater i have set up to shut the water off in the house if it detects a leak. Great Product .
