Hi all,
I do have a small lawn in my backyard with automated watering. I currently use 2x WOOX ZigBee Garden Valves since I do have two loops. Unfortunately one just died since water came into the electronics and the other one does not react always and sometimes has a delay. So I’m wondering if I can trust it.
Therefore I’d like to buy another one that hopefully fulfills all my requirements:
- No cloud, connected locally only
- No gateway in between I do have a zigbee stick for HA, WiFi, Bluetooth and could think about Matter (Thread)
- Distance between HA is roughly 7 meters with one wall in between.
- Nice to have: Water consumption
- I don’t want to built it my self. I’d rather buy something from the market
I already ordered an RTX ZVG1. Unfortunately I can’t get it to work via Zigbee with Conbee II and deCONZ. It was paired but does not have any functionality whatsoever. I also can’t see it in the phoscon app. If you have any tips regarding this, I’d also be very grateful. I still have it here but most likely will send it back.
Do you have any suggestions which one to get in germany without spending 100 of euros?
Environment:
- My HAOS runs on an Intel NUC
- I do use Node Red for automations
- For Zigbee I use ConBee II with deCONZ / Phoscon
Thank you very much!
