YoLink Smart Wireless Water Valve Controller - HUB REQUIRED

Second One Worked

The first controller I received would open a closed motorized valve but would not close; so it was useless. The second one works fine. You need to improve your testing so that faulty controllers are not sent out.

Works well in ground but poor insulation from moisture

After 3 months in an irrigation box in the ground connected to the Yolink valve installed on the water supply line the controller stopped working because the batteries inside the controller box got wet. The rubber gasket inside the little controller battery box is thin, weak and easily disturbed so as to not seal the box against moisture. I had to replace it and put it inside a zip lock bag, hoping this will keep it dry.

The replacement went well. However it was not intuitive finding the replacement on the website.
