Zigbee 3.0 Smart valve control

If you are looking for a smart home device that allows you to control your water or gas valve remotely, the Nous LZ3 Smart ZigBee Valve Controller is the ideal solution. This versatile device can be attached to most standard valves, enabling you to open or close them with just a tap on your smartphone or through voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant.

You can also set schedules and timers to automate the valve operation, helping you save energy and costs.

The Nous LZ3 Smart ZigBee Valve Controller works with the Nous Smart App and the Tuya Smart Life App, allowing you to monitor and control your smart home devices from anywhere. To get the device up and running, you will need the Nous E1 or Nous E7 Gateway, which are compatible with many other smart home products and accessories.

If you prefer a cloud-free solution, you can also use the device with Home Assistant via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, giving you more flexibility and privacy.

Why ZigBee?

ZigBee is a wireless smart home technology that allows devices to communicate with each other in a mesh network. It offers many advantages over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth:

• Energy Efficiency: ZigBee uses less power than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, meaning ZigBee devices can run on batteries for years without needing to be replaced or recharged.
• Range: ZigBee can cover large distances and areas, as each device (except battery-powered ones) acts as a repeater and extends the range of the network. ZigBee can reach up to 100 meters indoors and 300 meters outdoors.
• Compatibility: ZigBee is compatible with many brands and products, as it is supported by over 400 tech companies that are part of the ZigBee Alliance. ZigBee devices can also work with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri through a compatible smart home hub.
• Security: ZigBee is secure and reliable, using encryption and authentication to protect the data transmitted between devices.
• Cloud-Free Operation: ZigBee can work without cloud connection via ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt, allowing connection to Home Assistant and other brand devices.
• Local Control: ZigBee gateways can store your saved automations and scenarios locally, allowing them to function even without an internet connection.
