So I love using dock water supply during the winter here in South Florida to give my pump a break. But… I always leave and forget to shut off the damn spicket… I have driven all the way home and remembered and had to drive 10 miles back to shut it off. Well no more of come this weekend. Ordered this Wi-Fi ball valve and going to install it this weekend..

that’s a good idea. I am so paranoid about it that I have to take a picture of it off with my phone that way I don’t question it when I get home. Like you, I’ve driven back to verify it’s off more times than I’d like to admit

I am never happy about that unless I remember doing it. My OCD would not allow me to do it by Wi-Fi. I struggle with all this technology.

Installed and working. The mechanical hook up was simple. The app and the software was like assembling something from IKEA…. F ing painful but after 1 hour figured it out. The F ing Chinese and their instructions leave plenty to be desired. If anyone buys one of these and needs help programming let me know as I will save you an hour of your life you will never get back. Other than that I am 100% happy, works as designed.

I like it. I’d probably still turn off the valve but being able to have this unit set to off is a nice safeguard, especially after leaving the boat and not remembering if I turned it off and disconnected, or not.

Yep.. that’s the idea, this is a backup if I forget to shut off the valve I can do it remotely.
