Product Support
Your Valve Controller connects to the internet via one of our hubs (original
YoLink Hub or the SpeakerHub), and it does not connect directly to your WiFi
or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and
for full-functionality, a hub is required. This guide assumes the YoLink app
has been installed on your phone, and a YoLink Hub or SpeakerHub is installed
and online.
If installing the Valve Controller and motorized valve outdoors, please refer
to the environmental range information in the specifications found on the Valve
Controller product support page. While this product can be installed outdoors,
to ensure years of trouble-free operation, it should be protected from rain
and direct sunlight by an enclosure or overhead cover.

**Get to Know Your Motorized Valve
**
The valve included in this kit is a 12VDC non-smart motorized valve. Use only this valve or YoLink-approved valve control products, such as the Bulldog Valve Robot. Do not use with non-YoLink valve products.
Add Your Valve Controller to the App
- Tap Add Device (if shown) or tap the scanner icon:
- Approve access to your phone’s camera, if requested. A viewfinder will be shown on the app.
- Hold the phone over the QR code so that the code appears in the viewfinder.If successful, the Add Device screen will be displayed.
- Follow the instructions to add your Valve Controller to the app.
Install the Valve Controller
Preparing for installation:
Determine where you will install your Valve Controller. Typically, it should
be wall-mounted, no farther away from the motorized valve than the length of
the cables allow (if you have purchased optional extension cables, the valve
controller can be installed at a location separate from the motorized valve).
Determine how you will mount the valve controller to the wall, and have
hardware and anchors appropriate for the wall surface on hand.
- At the desired location for the controller, confirm the cables of the two devices will reach each other. Holding the controller at the desired location, and using a marker or similar means, mark the location of the mounting hole to the wall or mounting surface.
- If you are using a wall anchor, install it at this time, per the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Secure the Valve Controller to the wall or mounting surface with a screw, as shown.
Install the Motorized Valve
- Shut-off the water serving the pipe where the valve is to be installed. Drain the water from the pipe, by turning on a faucet, or by other method as required.
- Depending on the adapter fitting used, measure the length of pipe that must be cut, and mark the cut lines on the pipe, as shown below.
- Cut the water pipe through the mark using a pipe cutting tool, then remove the cut section of pipe, as shown below.
- Sand both ends of cut pipe, removing any burrs or rough edges. Use care handling the cut edges, which may be sharp! Wipe off the cut section of pipe with a clean cloth.
- Install your adapter fittings in the pipe ends, per the manufacturer instructions.
- Wrap each adapter’s threaded end with thread seal tape, per the tape manufacturer’s instructions, as shown below.
- Install the motorized valve on the adapter fittings, ensuring a secure connection at each fitting, as shown below.
- At the water valve or point of disconnection, turn the water on again.
- Verify there are no leaks and no visible water on the motorized valve.
Power Up, Final Connections & Testing
- Install batteries in the Valve Controller. This is done by releasing the two clamp latches on the side of the controller, then opening the cover. Then, install the batteries.
- Close the cover, snapping the clamp latches tightly into the locked position.
- Connect the Valve Controller’s cable to the control cable of the motorized valve. Ensure the arrow on the cable connector aligns with the arrow on the other cable connector. Twist the collar of the connector tight.
- The Valve Controller will appear offline until it is turned on and it wirelessly connects to a YoLink hub. Turn on the Valve Controller by pressing the SET button, just long enough for the LED to illuminate. It should blink red, then green, which indicates the Valve Controller has connected to the cloud.
- Test the Valve Controller and motorized valve by pressing the SET button and listening for the smooth closing/opening of the valve, and by checking the water flow at a faucet. The water should be completely turned off while the valve is in the shut position.
Refer to the full installation and user guide to complete the setup of your
Valve Controller and motorized valve.
Your Valve Controller is supplied with alkaline batteries. If you elect to
replace the batteries with lithium type batteries, please note, in very cold
temperatures, the battery level may be indicated in the app as lower than it
actually is. This is characteristic of lithium batteries.
