Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Aqara Valve Controller T1 be used to control irrigation?
The Aqara Valve Controller T1 can be used to control indoor/outdoor irrigation systems, but the device itself is not waterproof, so it is not recommended to install it on outdoor valves.
After a power outage, when the Aqara Valve Controller T1 is powered on again, will the device remain open, closed, or in the state it was before the power outage?
After a power outage, when the Aqara Valve Controller T1 is powered on again, it will continue executing the action it was performing before the power outage.
After controlling the Aqara Valve Controller T1 using the "PUSH" button, the button does not spring back. What should I do?
If the clutch “PUSH” button does not spring back after being released, gently shake the rotating arm. When you hear a “click” sound, the clutch “PUSH” button should spring back to its original position.
Is the 30-day self-check reminder enabled by default, and how can it be turned off?
The self-check feature is enabled by default and cannot be turned off. The self-check reminder is designed to ensure the device is always in working condition and operating normally. If there are minor leaks or rust on the water valve, not operating the valve for a long time may cause it to become stuck. If the controller is not installed correctly, it may detach from the rotating arm during operation, making it unable to close the valve in special situations. Therefore, it is recommended that users perform a self-check once a month. During the self-check, users should be present to observe the valve’s operation and promptly address any issues to ensure the device can handle emergencies effectively.
Can the Aqara Valve Controller T1 be automated with sensors from other brands?
Yes. The Aqara Valve Controller T1 supports integrations with Matter via a compatible Aqara hub, and is compatible with other third-party ecosystems such as Apple Home, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, Home Assistant, and IFTTT. It can be automated with sensors from non-Aqara brands on these platforms. For a list of supported hubs, please check the Aqara community or contact customer service.
What is the lifespan of the Aqara Valve Controller T1?
The Aqara Valve Controller T1 is powered by 4 AA batteries, which can ensure an effective battery life of 2 years (with a usage frequency of opening and closing the valve once per day).
What is the torque of the Aqara Valve Controller T1?
The maximum torque is 3.6 N·m.
