We are used to Rachio for controlling our sprinkler system and always struggle to get our small garden-hosed-based drip irrigation to work properly. I was using Orbit programmable timer but it was always a chore to change the timing based on weather. Most importantly if we accidentally turned off the hose valve, there was no notification (or intelligence) until we noticed that our plants were dying 🤦♂️. I use home automation (Apple HomeKit) so I was searching for a solution that would integrate with my home-automation setup. I came across Sonoff Smart Hose by chance looking for some Zigbee controllers. I got this and since this is a pure Zigbee device, I was able to add this to my Zigbee2MQTT tied to HomeBridge. I can control this with my HomeKit shortcuts. There is an option to use the Sonoff bridge to control this if Homebridge is not there. Hands down I am very happy with the setup.

I had high hopes for this valve but was sorely disappointed. Despite their own documentation saying that some Echo devices are compatible as hubs, after a week of messing around I have yet to have it be detected. I previously was a fan of Sonoff devices but have not had any success with this one. I’ll be returning both and steering clear of Sonoff from here out.

I was not sure if this valve was going to work with Hubitat, but after a little bit of I found there is a driver to use which works well. I am also using Apple home integration with Hubitat and am able to share these to Home and control them that way. It is kind of nice to have my Apple Watch on and be able to ask SIRI to turn the hose off and on.

Ordered this to manage irrigation in my greenhouse, glad i found a device that is actually compatible with the rest of my automation system without having to install another app.Natively SmartThings sees it as a regular on/off switch but with the use of a custom edge driver, the device is paired as a valve with battery status. Look for Zigbee Valve MC discussion on the community forum.I own several SONOFF products and all have been reliable and stable on my network.

It works, and hasn't had any range issues when used outside despite not having any Zigbee repeaters.Excellent. I'd be sure to bring this inside when it starts to get close to freezing weather, but at that point you should be shutting off/winterizing your spigots anyway.

I was hoping this SonOFF Zigbee irrigation timer would work, however integrating with Home Assistant was not as straight forward as others products, and was not reliable responding to the commands from HA to the device.However the Unit I received seems was a return as well, not quite sure If I will give it another try in the future or not.

Had the unit working well until the female hose connector blew off the top of the unit. Thinking it may have been loose from the factory, I screwed it back together till tight, felt good, but blew off again. Glued it with Marine Epoxy, still blew off again. Don't know what to do with this now.Update: Sonos customer support was very proactive, reached out to me and sent a replacement unit, no questions asked. Not tested yet, but will add another update once tested

Home Assistant setup was a breeze with my OG Skyconnect/ZBT-1, as was pushing it up into Apple home. -65~ RSSI from one side of the house to another, sweet. Came with plumbing tape and after using it for only the inflow connection, no leaking at this time. I only needed a simple on/off switch so I didn't use their app.Looks fine, is cheap, I'll update if I run into any issues down the road with this thing.

Eventually automatically paired with Zigbee / Home Assistant. Switch was not working, it turned out to be be the batteries (showed as 60% charged in HA). Swapped out rechargeable batteries with regular ones and it turns off and on just fine with one button press.Do wish the attachment points were copper or that the device came with a short hose extension to avoid snapping the connectors off.

I wanted to add a single sprinkler to my irrigation for when I seed a small area. I didn’t want to have to run an entire zone if it wasn’t needed. I use Home Assitant and OpenSprinkler so I got creative in automating this..First I added this valve to home assistant using the Zigbee integration. It was recognized immediately!Then I set an unused zone in open sprinkler to be an “http” zone pointing to localhost:80. I then added that zone to my schedule as I would any other zone.I then built an automation in home assistant that is triggered whenever the open sprinkler zone status changes. When home assistant sees that zone as running, it turns on this valve. Then when the zone stops, it shuts it off.This is working flawlessly and allows me to manually control this valve through home assistant, and for it to show up in OpenSprinkler for scheduling within all my other irrigation programs. Obviously I didn’t want this valve running when another irrigation zone was going or there wouldn’t be decent pressure for both.
