💧 SONOFF SWV-BSP — Zigbee Smart Water Valve (3/4" BSP, Battery Powered, Smart Irrigation)
Automate your garden watering in 3 minutes. The SONOFF SWV-BSP is a Zigbee 3.0 smart water valve with a built-in flow sensor, powered by 4 × AA batteries (up to 20 months life). Screw it between your outdoor tap and hose — then control irrigation from your phone with scheduled, volume-based, or cyclic watering modes. Tracks 6 months of water usage history. Works with eWeLink, Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant. BSP (British Standard Pipe) 3/4" thread — the standard used in South Africa. MPN: SWV-BSP.
⚡ Key Features
- 3-Minute Installation — screw onto any 3/4" BSP outdoor tap, connect your garden hose to the outlet, insert batteries, pair to your hub, done
- Schedule Mode — set daily/weekly watering times with start time and duration; single or repeating cycles
- Capacity Mode (Volume-Based) — set a specific water volume (e.g., 50 litres) and the valve auto-closes when that volume is delivered; no more overwatering
- Cyclic Irrigation — alternating water-on/water-off cycles for slow drip or soak-and-dry schedules
- Built-In Flow Sensor — measures real-time water flow rate (2–3.9 L/min detection range) for accurate volume tracking
- 6-Month Water Usage History — the eWeLink app logs 180 days of water usage and duration data; view daily, weekly, or monthly charts to optimise watering and reduce bills
- Auto Shut-Off (No Water) — if water runs out, the valve automatically closes after 30 minutes to prevent dry running
- IP55 Water Resistant — dust-protected and splash-proof; designed for outdoor tap installations
- Battery Powered (4 × AA) — estimated 20 months battery life at 1 hour watering per day; no mains wiring needed
- Physical Button — press to open/close manually; hold 5 seconds to enter pairing mode
- Zigbee 3.0 (EFR32MG22) — 130 m open-space range; works with eWeLink, Alexa, Google Home
- Home Assistant — supported in ZHA (open/close + flow + battery) and Zigbee2MQTT (full schedule/volume control with firmware 1.0.3+)
- Thread Seal Tape Included — comes with a roll of PTFE tape for leak-free installation
🏠 Perfect For
Garden & Lawn Irrigation
Screw onto your garden tap. Schedule watering every morning at 6 AM for 20 minutes. Or set volume-based watering to deliver exactly 100 litres per session.
Vegetable Patches & Raised Beds
Use cyclic irrigation (soak-and-dry) for vegetables and herbs. Alternate between watering and rest periods for optimal root absorption.
Pool Top-Up
Set a volume limit to automatically top up your pool with a specific amount of water. The valve closes when the target volume is reached — no forgetting to turn off the hose.
Smart Home Automation
Link with SONOFF SNZB-05P water leak sensor to auto-close water supply on leak detection. Pair with soil moisture sensors for condition-based irrigation.
