Product Support

Your FlowSmart Control meter & valve controller wirelessly connect to the internet via a YoLink Hub or SpeakerHub, and it does not directly connect to your WiFi or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a YoLink 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.

Install the Meter & Valve Controller

Preparing for installation:

Determine where you will install your meter & valve controller. Typically, it should be wall-mounted, no farther away from the valve device and water meter than the length of the cables allow.
Note: use of the 12VDC power adapter is optional. If not used, batteries are required. If the power adapter is used, batteries are optional. Without batteries, the controller can not function during a power outage.
Determine how you will mount the controller to the wall, and have hardware and anchors appropriate for the wall surface on hand.

Mark the location of the hole for each of the controller’s three mounting points on the wall. Install anchors, if applicable, per the anchor manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the screw for the topmost mounting point, leaving enough space to hang the controller.
Hang the controller on this top screw, then insert the two remaining screws into their respective anchors or locations.
Tighten all three screws, ensuring the controller is secured to the wall.

Power Up, Final Connections & Testing

Connect the controller’s Water Meter cable to the water meter. This is a cable with a 2-pin connector that should be connected to the controller already, on one end, and with lever-type connectors on the other end. The two bare wires on the water meter cable must be connected to the lever connectors. Lever connectors have a lever on each side (wire in / wire out). Lift the levers on the empty side of the connectors, preparing them to accept wires. Matching the wire color on the wires already on the connector, insert the wires of the water meter cable into the connector, black wire to black wire, red wire to red wire. Holding the wires in place, depresses the two levers. They should make an audible click. Gently tug on each wire, to ensure a good connection.
Connect the controller’s Valve cable to the motorized valve. This is a cable with a 5-pin connector. The connectors are keyed and should only be inserted correctly, but use care to align the two connectors, then twist the collar tight.
If using the power adapter, before plugging in the power adapter to the AC power outlet, connect the controller’s 12VDC input cable to the power adapter cable. Plug in the power adapter at the wall outlet.
The Meter & Valve Controller will appear offline until it is turned on and it wirelessly connects to a YoLink hub. Turn on the controller by pressing the SET button until you see the LED blink
(red, then green, indicates the meter & valve controller has connected to the cloud).
In the app, verify the controller is indicated as online.
Test the Meter & Valve Controller and valve by pressing the SET button on the controller, and by watching the closing or opening action of the valve. The valve should open and close completely (verify no water is flowing through the valve while closed).
Test the operation of the Meter & Valve Controller from the app. From the Rooms or Favorite screen, locate your meter & valve controller, and tap the slide switch to open or close the motorized valve.

Refer to the full installation and user guide to complete the setup of your FlowSmart Control.
