Your X3 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 X3 Valve Controller and motorized valve outdoors, please refer to the environmental range information in the specifications found on the X3 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 2 to the App

1. Tap Add Device (if shown) or tap the scanner icon:

2. Approve access to your phone’s camera, if requested. A viewfinder will be shown on the app.

Install the X3 Valve Controller

Preparing for installation:
Determine where you will install your X3 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).
Note: Use of the 12VDC power adapter is optional, but in that case, batteries are required. If the power adapter is used, batteries are optional.
Determine how you will mount the valve controller to the wall, and have hardware and anchors appropriate for the wall surface on hand.
Mark the valve controller’s three screw hole locations on the wall first, if desired, ensuring a level installation.
Hang the valve controller from the top-most screw, then secure the valve controller to the wall by inserting the remaining two screws. Finally, tighten all three screws, as needed.

Install the Motorized Valve

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Cut the water pipe through the mark using a pipe cutting tool, then remove the cut section of pipe, as shown below.
   

4. 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.

5. Install your adapter fittings in the pipe ends, per the manufacturer instructions.
   

6. Wrap each adapter’s threaded end with thread seal tape, per the tape manufacturer’s instructions, as shown below.

7. Install the Smart Motorized Valve on the adapter fittings, ensuring a secure connection at each fitting, as shown below.
   

8. At the water valve or point of disconnection, turn the water on again.

9. Verify there are no leaks and no visible water on the motorized valve.

Power Up, Final Connections & Testing

1. The Valve Controller will appear offline until it is turned on and it wirelessly connects to a YoLink hub. Turn on the X3
   Valve Controller by pressing the SET button until you see the LED blink (red, then green, indicates the Valve Controller 2 has connected to the cloud).

2. In the app, verify the X3 Valve Controller is indicated as online.

3. Connect the valve controller’s valve control cable to the control cable of the motorized valve.

4. Connect the valve controller’s valve status cable to the valve status cable of the motorized valve.

5. If using the power adapter, and before plugging in the power adapter to the AC power outlet, connect the valve controller’s 12VDC input cable to the power adapter cable. Plug in the power adapter at the wall outlet.

6. Test the X3 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.

7. Test the operation of the VX3 Valve Controller from the app. From the Rooms or Favorite screen, locate your X3 Valve Controller, tap the image, then tap Close to turn off the water, and tap Open to turn it on.

Refer to the full installation and user guide to complete the setup of your X3 Valve Controller and Bulldog Valve Robot.
