Econet Bulldog water valve shutoff robot and a Hubitat Elevation C8 Z-Wave controller to make it all work with Homekit. Now if any of my leak detectors senses a leak, the main water valve for the house gets shut off.

Getting it to talk to the Hubitat Z-Wave controller was not as easy. It's my first time using a Z-Wave controller, so there was a bit of a learning curve. It kept showing up as an unidentified device whenever I tried to pair it (Z-Wave folks call it "Inclusion.") I was getting frustrated, but then I tried resetting the Z-Wave radio. After that, it paired right up. Live and learn. I can see this being ideal for folks who have rentals. When no one is there, you can remotely turn off the water.

The SmartestHouse - WATER SHUT-OFF VALVES FOR LEAK PREVENTION Hubitat is the way to go for community-driven HA, in my opinion. I'm on my 3rd Hub and have an extensive system with lights, sensors, actuators, etc. Probably 125 devices in all. Eight are water sensors, and I use the built-in Hubitat Safety Monitor to detect whenever one of them gets "wet" at which point it closes the valve. I also run a weekly valve test just to make sure that it's working. |

Home Assistant is getting more user-friendly every month, and blows my old Hubitat away in terms of included and third-party integrations.....

Please post photos! I've always wanted one but haven't made it happen yet. Growing up I had a nice 0-27 gauge indoor layout, every birthday it was a toss up between picking out a new engine/car or a Lego set. $50 was my limit so the purchasing power wasn't much in the Lionel world lol. The trains are still at my parents, I should get them out sometime...been over 20+ years since I've seen them.
