Any smart garden hose valve integration? (lemm.ee)

I’ve finally configured my garden and landscaping on drip irrigation, but I’m using some dumb valves hooked up to my house hose spigot.

I would absolutely love a smart valve that I can have better control of the schedule, or respond to sensors.

After some looking around, it seems like “Rachio” is the only integration I can find for something like this. It’s a bit pricy ($99 per valve), and it looks like it needs a wifi hub to work. Has anyone used this integration successfully?

Is there any other options? There seem to be lots of “Bluetooth” controllers available in the big box stores, but I’m guessing they will need an app or something?

Woox r7060, ZigBee and button controlled, 35€

Was easy to integrate and is operating flawlessly since a couple of months.

Were you able to connect it directly to Home Assistant or do you need their ZigBee hub?

Not theirs. It is connected to a Dresden conbee ii

Looks perfect, but I don’t see any shipping to the states. Not to mention, international shipping is gonna bump that cost up significantly!

I don't know if you can find the product close to you, I include the link so you could get an image and the specs of what it's like :)
