YoLink Smart Water Shut Off Kit, Three Water Sensors, 3/4" Stainless Steel Motorized Valve

Whilst the idea and product looks good it should not be used in Uk/Europe. The first problem was that it wud not connect via the hub that came with the detectors I bought separately. It comes with its own and after consulting with the manufacturer came to the conclusion that I shud simply have 2 hubs. Now having tried to have it fitted today it comes to light that it is not WRAS approved and as such shud not be connected in the UK. In addition Uk fitments will not enable it to be connected to your pipe work here.Such a shame, having had a failed tap flood 2 floors and 9 rooms of my house, I thought I had found an economic and effective way to avoid a future occurrence.I see there is now a disclaimer saying products from the USA may differ. I don’t remember spotting it until today, however, as the product is useless here Amazon should take some responsibility and I’m about to contact them.Yokink told me they don’t sell this product outside the USA but it appears something has slipped thru the net or it’s an Amazon default to make the product available here.

I diy installed this one, I don’t have experience plumbing a PEX. It looks daunting at first specially when you cut that main water pipe line. You will suddenly realized there is no turning back. I put 4 wraps of teflon + pipe dope. I used PEX adapter and pinch clamp.The tricky part is to make sure the adapter is very tight, you need to wrestle it tightening until you can’t turn it anymore. I recommend use a 14inches pipe wrench + 12inches adjustable wrench, the longer the wrench the better, it will act as a lever during tightening. Don’t worry it won’t get stripped. I suffered skin blister on my palm tightening it very hard, lol.If you didn’t tighten properly you will have a leak. I measured the clearance from PEX adapter to Yolink main using a caliper, in my case it is 5.9 mm & 6.6 mm. I used 3/4 pinch clamp to connect it to the main line PEX.The first time i installed this one, i had a leak as what others experienced on reviews. Removing a pinch clamp and the PEX adapter is a nightmare. I ended up buying a new adapter and made a new cut at the main water line. I used a vice grip at my first installation, i felt like the leverage power is less compared to a 14inches pipe wrench + 12inches adjustable wrench combo, that’s why it ended up leaking.Once you survived the installation, everything is straightforward on the App. This thing is amazing. It will work even there is power or WIFI outage. The purpose of the hub is just for remote connection on your phone. The sensor and the smart valve can communicate each other even if the hub is offline. You can bargain now with your home insurance to give you some discount. A win win situation.

I'm impressed. I own two homes in cold climates. One in the coldest place in the nation and the other in western Colorado. I installed Yolink in both of my homes. It's a really simple system. The sensors detect water, they send a signal to the hub and the hub tells the motorized valve to close. I have 9 sensors in each home. I've tested the system numerous times and it closes the valve. No problem. The sensors and the valve are batt operated. It's all connected to my phone. I don't know if the system will work if power goes out to the hub. I have to say tho, programming the sensors is a bit complicated, too complicated IMO but once you get it, you can program them all quickly. I love that, if anything goes down or the valve closes, you get a text and an email. So, a complete system which for me was 9 sensors, a hub and a motorized valve was about USD $450. A plumber is recommended to splice in the valve on your water main. They'll charge you $100-$200 for that simple task. I paid it. It was worth it. I did contact customer service with an issue (Claire) and she were SUPER GREAT, quick and efficient communication. and then she offered me a discount on a second system. I was impressed with the speed in which she communicated. So far, after months, I've had no erroneous glitches or any components go down except save one, the valve went offline but was still functional should the sensor reach out to the hub. I just couldn't open or close it with my phone. The fix was just to cycle the valve one time and it reset it. I highly recommend Yolink. I can rest now knowing that I won't go to my mountain house and find a swimming pool in the basement.

After I had a whole-house (aka "Big Blue") filter get too old, crack open in the middle of the night and flood the garage, I realized that I needed a solution to shut off the main water (1" line) in the event of another flood. As I already had threaded NPT connections anyway for my whole house filter and water softener, this made it a breeze. I installed and configured it in about an hour total, loaded the app, connected it to Alexa and started monitoring (using the YoLink water detectors and hub). Whenever any of the sensors detects moisture (I placed them under the washer, dishwasher, hot water heater and water softener), it immediately shuts electrically (actually, battery), then sends me a notification on my phone. Brilliant! I can verify what detector went off, then investigate. No more flooding the house.Just as a note I will probably buy more sensors in the future and place them behind/under the toilets.Anyway, highly recommended! Thank you, YoLink!
