Smart Valve

A pipe that bursts while you are away, an irrigation system left running, a washing machine hose that fails overnight. MOES smart valve controllers let you open or close your water supply remotely from the app, set schedules, and pair with a water leak sensor to shut off automatically the moment moisture is detected.

Smart Valve Controllers: Remote Water Control When It Matters Most

Most people do not think about their water supply until something goes wrong. A slow leak under the sink, a burst pipe while on holiday, or an irrigation timer that runs during a rainstorm are all situations where being able to control your water remotely would have made a real difference. MOES smart valve controllers fit onto your existing ball valves and give you full open and close control from your phone, from anywhere.

Where Smart Valves Make the Biggest Difference

Leak protection with automatic shutoff. Pair a MOES smart valve with a water leak sensor and create an automation in the Tuya Smart Life app that closes the valve the moment water is detected. This combination gives you an automatic response to leaks even when you are asleep or away from home, potentially preventing thousands in water damage.

Garden and irrigation scheduling. Instead of running irrigation manually or relying on a basic timer, a smart valve lets you set flexible schedules from the app, adjust them remotely when the weather changes, and turn the water off instantly if you forgot to cancel a watering session before it rains.

Rental properties and second homes. If you own a property you are not always at, a smart valve gives you the ability to shut off the water supply remotely if a leak is reported, a pipe freezes, or you simply want to isolate the supply while the property is empty. No need to send someone over just to turn a valve.

Going on holiday. Shutting off the main water supply before a long trip is good practice, but easy to forget. With a smart valve, you can close it from the airport if you realise you forgot, and open it again remotely before you arrive home so everything is ready when you get back.

Installation: What You Need to Know

MOES smart valve controllers are motorised actuators that attach to existing ball valves. They do not replace the valve itself. Check that your existing valve is a standard ball valve with a lever handle before purchasing, and confirm the valve size matches the controller specifications on the product page. Most models are powered via USB or AC adapter and connect to WiFi directly with no hub required.

FAQs About Smart Valve Controllers

The MOES smart valve controller is a motorised actuator that attaches to your existing ball valve. You do not need to replace the valve or cut any pipes. The controller clamps onto the valve lever and rotates it open or closed on command. Make sure your existing valve is a standard ball valve with a lever handle and check the product page for compatible valve sizes before purchasing.

Yes. Through the Tuya Smart Life app, you can create an automation that triggers the valve to close when a compatible water leak sensor detects moisture. This gives you an automatic shutoff response without needing to be home or awake. MOES water leak sensors are compatible with this type of automation and can be purchased separately.

Most MOES smart valve controllers are designed to hold their last position when power is lost, meaning if the valve was open it stays open, and if it was closed it stays closed. This prevents unexpected flooding or water cutoffs during a power outage. Check the individual product page for the specific power-loss behaviour of each model.

Yes. The underlying ball valve can still be operated manually by removing or disengaging the smart controller if needed. Some models also include a manual override button on the controller itself. The smart controller is an addition to your existing valve, not a permanent replacement for manual operation.
