Solenoid valve FrankEver DN15 - Powered by ShellyX
Description
The FrankEver Smart Water Valve DN15 is a smart motorised valve, powered by Shelly, designed for remote control of the water supply in homes, gardens or commercial premises. The valve body is made of SS304 stainless steel and industrial plastics, with IP65 protection against dust and water splashes, suitable for installation in plant rooms or covered outdoor areas.
The valve offers precise control of the opening position, between 0 and 100%, not just simple on/off switching, which allows the water flow to be regulated. It is certified for drinking water (NSF) and supports connecting a DS18B20 temperature sensor for automations related to frost or thermal monitoring of the installation.
Being fitted with a Shelly chip, the valve connects directly to the local WiFi network and via Bluetooth, without needing a separate hub, and can act as a WiFi range extender and BLE gateway for other Shelly devices nearby. It is useful for automatically shutting off the water when a leak is detected, scheduled irrigation or remote control of the water supply while the occupants are away.
Attention: the product has a backup power supply so it can close or open the valve even during a power cut, but it requires an external power supply via a 2A USB Type-A adapter for normal operation.
Practical use cases
- Mounted on the main supply of the home, it automatically shuts off the water as soon as a flood sensor detects a leak, preventing major damage.
- Used for scheduled garden irrigation, with flow adjustment through the valve opening position, between 0 and 100%.
- Allows the water supply to be shut off remotely from the app when the home is left unattended for long periods.
- With a DS18B20 temperature sensor connected, it can run frost protection automations for the water system.
