It’s been a while since I’ve seen a post regarding water leaks and ST saving the day. I am looking to control my water main shutoff, after experiencing a minor flooding issue at my house. I’ve been looking into the available options that are not going to brake my wallet or require major plumbing, an…

You are right - I think it depends on how much you want to spend and if you want the valve to sit on top of the shut-off lever or a ball valve that requires plumbing work. Also, the size of your pipe/Lever will matter. I have a 1 1/2 inch pipe and Zooz customer service was not confident their valve …

I bought the Econet EBV105 a few weeks ago and am very happy with it. I was worried the dome one would not be strong enough because of the way it mounts so went this route. Pretty hefty mount and it paired easily and just works.

The dome valve has been pretty solid so far but I only have it installed for a couple of days now. Bild quality is good and connection is stable. My lever was a little hard to move but the motor does not have any problem with it. The Econet looked pretty good, too but does not fit 1 1/2 inch pipes.

Dome, ZooZ, EcoNET - they all use the EXACT same motor and chipset for controlling the actual water valve. The difference lies in the mounting hardware. IMHO EcoNET has the BEST mounting hardware for it, it’s the most stable and doesn’t twist under pressure. And yes when you have an old ball joint o…

It looks like they may have changed the hardware. The original mount we have in our labs looks like this: [image] It’s metal plate with multiple points of contacts making is VERY stable. This works extremely well for older valves which have hardened with age and are difficult to turn. The clip bas…

Wouldn’t be able to say about the EcoNET. I ended up getting the Dome and it works well for me. It is stable enough and it opens/closes the valve without an issue, but my valve is not stuck and it is actually perpendicular/parallel. I ended up using the manufacturer’s custom device handler but I ho…

What's the consensus on water valves?

I just ordered the Dome valve and will update accordingly. I already have an AEOTEC water sensor and I will see how it works.
