The new EVO Valve Operator is an EVOlution in smart water control! In the past, a motorized valve was the hands-down choice for industrial, commercial, and multi-family residential building, smart water control. The frequent second choice, or alternative to this, bolt-on ball valve manipulators, robots, and other valve operators put smart water control within reach for DIY installation, but were always burdened with too many adjustments, a disadvantaged "push/pull" mechanical model, dependent on correct adjustments and sufficient leverage -- both of which are unlikely to win out when faced with larger and/or older, stiffer valves.
Enter the EVO Valve Operator. We departed from the traditional "push/pull" approach (a mechanism that pushes or pulls on the valve handle), knowing that when those systems failed or underperformed, it was often attributed to a lack of leverage and sufficient torque to move the ball valve handle to 100% closed. But the EVO utilizes a "direct-drive" system, that rather than pushing or pulling on the handle, the drive shaft of the EVO is bolted direct to the shaft of the ball valve. Essentially, the two parts become one, and the EVO closes the performance gap between bolt-on and motorized valve water control products!

This package includes the EVO Valve Operator and YoLink Valve Controller 2. The new Valve Controller 2 includes the features of our popular Valve Controller 1, but now with multiple power options, and valve status input. The controller comes with a plug-in AC-to-12VDC power adapter. This allows for several power configurations, including batteries-only, 120VAC power with battery back-up, and 120VAC power-only. (For even longer battery life, check out the X3 Valve Controller)
The EVO Valve Operator is a bolt on vavle operator, with a unique "Direct-Drive" valve shaft attachment system, that dramatically increases dependability, with, even, stiff valves closing 100% each time.
- Wireless operation; no 120V outlet or wiring required
- LoRa long-range/low-power technology offers 2+ years battery life, compared to 1+ year for other brands
- Alexa, Google, voice assistant, Home Assistant and IFTTT integration
- YoLink Control D2D device-to-device pairing allows for the Smart Motorized Valve to be directly controlled by YoLink water sensors or other devices, without an internet connection, and without power ("No WiFi, No Internet, No Power - No Problem!")
- S.D.I.M - Smart Device Integrity Monitoring means your smart device is supervised 24/7 for communication and device health. Should your device fail to communicate or have a device health issue, you can be notified (per your alarm strategy settings). Each device has a unique identification number and it is individually monitored by the YoLink cloud server, 24/7, continuously
- YoLink’s industry-leading long range communication (up to 1/4 mile, open air!) allows for operation in larger homes and in areas difficult for other wireless systems, such as basements, separate garages/structures, and even outside your home
Adds smart control, including remote manual control, schedule control, and automation based on interaction with other smart devices (such as YoLink smart water leak sensors). Additionally, the valve can be controlled by third-party applications like IFTTT, Home Assistant, Google and Alexa (including voice commands, like "Alexa, turn off the water")
Avoid the expense, inconvenience and mess associated with the installation of wiring, wiring raceway, and AC power for non-wireless valve controllers.
Enjoy functionality even during a power outage. Control-D2D paired devices will perform their paired function automatically, without an internet connection, without the app, and without AC power (in the case of battery-powered or battery-backed-up devices - an internet connection is required for full functionality and for the app to work.)
Your Bulldog Valve Robot and Valve Controller 2 can be used "standalone" or "app-less", without a hub and/or without using the app. The valve can be operated manually by pressing the Set button on the controller. The controller can also be paired with one of our smart fobs, allowing you to open/close the valve at the press of a fob button (must be in range of the controller). And, our water sensors can be paired directly to the valve controller using Control-D2D pairing, a feature that does not require the app.
Used standalone, you lose all app-related benefits, including remote control from your phone, via automations, Alexa* voice command and routines, etcetera, as well as the benefits of device supervision and device health monitoring (e.g. low battery indications).
A hub, with an internet connection, is required for full functionality, but this product can be used standalone, with some limited functionality. If an internet connection is available, we recommend the use of a YoLink hub with this product. Watch for the release of Hub 3, later this year (4th quarter 2023), which will add cellular connectivity, should your location not have ethernet or WiFi.
*Optional service/subscription required, not included.

A: The IP rating of YS5003 YoLink Valve Controller 2 is IP66, the IP rating of Motorized Ball Valve is IP65.
Q: How can I close the valve when the sensor detects water?
A: There are two ways to close the valve when the sensor detects water:
Create automation in the YoLink app (requires internet connection):
When: Water leak sensor detects a water leak (triggers an alert)
Then: Valve controller closes the valve
Set up YoLink Control, make sure the firmware of the valve controller is 090e or newer (no internet required):
First, close the valve. Next, press and hold the set button on the water leak sensor until the green LED starts blinking rapidly. Then, press and hold the set button on the valve controller until its green LED also blinks rapidly. This establishes a direct connection between the devices without the need for an internet connection.
Q: Does YoLink Valve Controller 2 support YoLink Control?
A: Yes, the YoLink Valve Controller 2 supports YoLink Control, for example, enabling you to pair it with a YoLink water leak sensor. When the sensor detects a water leak, the valve will automatically shut off without requiring power or internet. However, if there is no internet connection, you won't be able to control the valve controller through the YoLink App, and Alexa routines will not function either.
Q: How does the YoLink valve controller operate a 12V valve with a 6V battery pack?
A: The YoLink valve controller uses 4 AA batteries, providing a 6VDC power supply. These AA batteries are commonly available and low-cost. The valve controller's circuit board includes a power boost IC, which converts the 6VDC input to a 12VDC output, allowing it to operate the 12V valve effectively.
Q: How can I set an alarm to notify me when the valve is opening or closing?
A: To set an alarm for valve opening and closing notifications, follow these steps in the YoLink app:
Open the YoLink app and navigate to the "Smart" section.
Tap "Automation" and create two separate automations: one for valve opening and another for valve closing.
For Automation1 (valve opening):
a. Set the trigger: "When device actions" -> "Valve controller" -> "Open".
b. Add the desired behavior: "Notification" -> "Custom notification content".
c. Select the alarm strategy: App, email, and/or SMS, as preferred.
For Automation2 (valve closing):
a. Set the trigger: "When device actions" -> "Valve controller" -> "Close".
b. Add the desired behavior: "Notification" -> "Custom notification content".
c. Select the alarm strategy: App, email, and/or SMS, as preferred.
By following these steps, you'll receive notifications when the valve is opening or closing based on your chosen notification preferences.
Q: How do I connect my valve controller to Google Assistant for voice commands?
A: To connect your valve controller and Bulldog ball valve to Google Assistant, follow these steps:
Open the YoLink app and go to "Smart" -> "Scene" to set up a new scene for opening the valve. Add behavior: "Valve controller" -> "Open".
Open the Google Home app and reconnect to YoLink. Next, go to "Routine" -> "Set up a new routine." Create a custom command for Google Assistant, such as "Hey Google, open the valve." Then, add action: "Adjust Home Devices" -> "Adjust scenes" -> add the "open the valve" scene you created in the YoLink app.
By following these steps, you'll be able to control your valve controller and Bulldog ball valve using voice commands through Google Assistant.
Q: Can I configure the Power Fail Alarm using YoLink Control D2D to turn off a water control valve in the event of a power failure?
A: Yes, you can set up YoLink Control between the Power Fail Alarm and the valve controller to turn off the water control valve during a power failure. Follow these steps:
Close your valve.
Press and hold the set button on the Power Fail Alarm for 5 seconds until the green LED starts blinking rapidly.
Press and hold the set button on the valve controller for 5 seconds until the green LED starts blinking rapidly.
By following these steps, you can configure the Power Fail Alarm to automatically turn off the water control valve when a power outage occurs.
Q: How can I automatically open the valve after the water has been removed?
A: You can set up an automation in the YoLink app to open the valve after all water sensors stop detecting water. Here's how:
Go to YoLink app -> Smart -> Automation -> create a new automation.
Choose the trigger: "When valve - close."
Add Behavior 1: "Break if when water sensor 1 - detected water."
Add Behavior 2: "Break if when water sensor 2 - detected water."
Continue adding similar behaviors for all your water sensors.
Add the final behavior: "Valve - open."
This automation will open the valve when it is closed and all the water sensors have stopped detecting water.
Q: I did not receive any notice that the valve had closed. Why did I get this still open notification?
A: The "still open" notification is designed for situations like watering, where it serves as a reminder to users that the valve remains open. If you have set up this feature on your main valve, you may receive this notification even if you did not close or open the valve. To avoid this, you should disable the "open remind" feature for your main valve.
Q: I am trying to direct pair (D2D) the valve controller and the water leak sensor, but the valve controller does not respond when the water leak sensor detects water. What can I do?
A: Before attempting the D2D pairing, make sure your valve is closed and you can follow the instructions in this video for the pairing process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD6oNUzuxSE. If you still encounter issues after following these steps, consider reaching out to YoLink customer support for further assistance.
Q: My ball valve controller shows as offline in the app, even after replacing the batteries with a different type. Is there a workaround to get it back online?
A: First, make sure your YoLink app is up to date. Then, remove the old batteries and press the button several times to discharge the capacitors before installing new, non-rechargeable batteries. If the issue persists after these steps, please contact YoLink customer support for further assistance.
