Thanks to Andreas_Roedl for the driver. Please note I am not a very experienced Smartthings user so please excuse my potentially naive comments. Clearly this is a device with lots of variables, and while the driver exposes them for screen reading, they mostly seem to be unavailable for use in functions. One issue I found is that my valve switches itself off after 10 minutes. I solved this by a) using a virtual device that I turn on and off when I want the valve on (this seems to have the added benefit of more sophisticated time setting than simply time setting the valve on) and b) using three functions to mirror this virtual device; one to turn the valve on, one to turn the valve off and one to turn the valve back on if it is internally turned off while the virtual device is still (timed) on. It seems to work well.

• Please make sure that the device’s firmware is up-to-date. Use the eWeLink app to check and update via Bluetooth.
• Re-install the driver: delete the device in ST, delete the driver, install the driver, re-add the device. This procedure makes sure that everything is initialized correctly. The driver itself supports driver switching, but who knows if the device accepts certain settings only after pairing - it’s a sleepy (and buggy) device after all.
• Very important: go through the settings and change the Device-side watering limit. The default is still 10 minutes, because that’s the factory preset default on the hardware itself (at least in some firmware versions).

I also need to know your model and the current firmware version.
