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.

Super produit

Facile à installer

Great product, easy to install, and setup. Installed on my main water supply to my home. I also purchased a hub and a number of leak detection units, placing them in the geyser tray, under washing machines and sinks. Makes travelling away from home less of a worry. Automated schedules shut off my water supply to the home and open it on occasions to water plants. If a leak is detected it will shut off the water supply before any major damage or water usage can occur. Batteries are easy to replace and the app is user friendly.
