YoLink 3/4" Stainless Steel Smart Water Valve Control Kit - Wireless Motorized Shutoff Valve with Remote Controller for Home Automation, Sprinkler Systems & Leak Protection

I recently installed the yolink valve/motor/hub system along with 7 yolink water sensors. All components work well, and I have had no problem receiving sensor signals from remote parts of the house. In addition, the hub is 8o ft from the valve, motor and controller which is in an underground valve box 10 ft off the street on my front lot. Valve controller receives signals with no problem and valve operates with no issues either from the box or via app on iphone. I have, as of this point, not set up the 7 sensors to auto the valve when water is present at a sensor. May keep it that way to avoid valve closing on inadvertent water spills. I have system programmed to send iphone email when any sensor notes water. If necessary, I can close valve via the app depending on the circumstances. Programming via app is simple and easy.The installation was straight forward with no problems. My main feed water line is 1-inch sch 40 pvc. The box to contain the yolink controller, valve and motor is as aforementioned approximately 80 ft from yolink hub located in the home. Attached pics show before and after the installation. I used I inch male thread pvc pipe adapters for connection to my 1-inch female threaded valve and then connected pvc main line pipe to the other ends of the two adapters. Must use pvc pipe tape or pipe dope on threads to insure a leak proof seal. I attached the valve controller to the main line pipe with zip ties. I attached it away from the ends of the box and well off the floor of the box. Very small controller box that operates off 4 AA batteries. Easy fit in box.Comparatively speaking, the signals and response time from the hub/system are much better than my hub/Ring system. With Ring, the signal strength is not consistent throughout the house sometimes resulting in streaming errors even after I added their signal boosters. Rings current system technology would never be able to reach anything underground at the distance my yolink hub is from the valve controller. Ring has just expanded its line and Flo by Moen smart water shutoff valve ads say they work with ring. Never work in my application. Ring’s signal is too weak even with signal boosters. As such they were never an option for me. In fact, after researching for a remotely controlled cutoff valve system for outside application, yolink was the only one I felt was competitively priced and would have the signal strength to communicate between the hub and controller in my scenario.Customer Service and support from yolink is great with quick response time to issues or questions. I had several questions relative to the installation prior to purchase of the product and Eric with yolink support answered all questions in a very timely manner, sometimes within an hour. If the equipment holds up, they have the service, support, and technology to become the leader in this market.I will follow up with comments on service of the equipment after some time in use.
