Forgotten troubles, stopped running,
Robots work, not humans!
What progress has come! Physical labor has disappeared
And the mental process will also replace the mechanical process.

What just do not come up with to make life easier for a person. The combination of the words "Smart home" does not surprise anyone. And now, I recently came across a device that performs the function of opening and closing a ball valve by pressing one button in a smartphone.

Since my channel is basically about plumbing, I thought. Why not make a review of such a device, all of a sudden my reader wants to buy it for his "Wishlist" and handicrafts)

And so, he is on my review, running ahead I will say that he has a flaw, which will be revealed during the review. Let's get started.

Equipment

The box contains a 12 volt power supply. Manipulator body. Fastening clamp. Instruction and warranty card (36 months). Scroll the gallery above.

How does the device work?

It must be connected to the power supply. And by pressing the red button, the lever is set in motion.

If you install the application on your phone and configure it, the drive is controlled remotely.

The set includes a special support - a clamp. With its help, the device is mounted on the crane.

In fact, it should look like this:

But my demo crane didn't fit. Clamp overhang too long or lever short... And there are no height adjustments in it.

Okay, I thought, maybe it will fit a polypropylene faucet? And I decided to make the installation.

An ambush took place here, too, a manipulator is not suitable for him either... I think the manufacturer should think about improving the crane in order to increase the number of adjustments.

The idea is good. If you find a suitable tap for it, then the device can be used to cut off the water in the subfield of a private house, so as not to dive there periodically. Either a powerful drive can be used to open or close doors, although you have to work with your head and hands after modifying it. Start watering your lawn if you are on vacation... You can think of a lot of things.
