Compatibility notes
- Released November 2024 at $69.99; a Zigbee 3.0 actuator that clamps onto an existing lever or butterfly ball valve (DN15/DN20/DN25) and runs on four AA batteries for up to two years (homekitnews.com 2024-11-19; us.aqara.com).
- Needs an Aqara Zigbee hub (any except Camera Hub G2H Pro); Aqara's page says it reaches Apple Home via the hub's Matter-over-bridge support, and HomeKit-enabled Aqara hubs expose it directly to HomeKit too (aqara.com; us.aqara.com, read 2026-10-18).
- In Apple Home it appears as a single switch-type tile (selectable as switch/fan/light), not a valve category, and it closes about 2-3 seconds after a linked leak sensor triggers (homekitnews.com review 2024-12-09).
