Aqara Valve Controller T1: Capabilities And Limitations
Based on listed specifications, not hands-on testing. Manufacturer sources are linked where checked.
What it offers
A Home Assistant integration is listed, providing an integration path to verify for the exact model. Check the exact integration and firmware. A catalog integration label does not establish local control, official support or available entities. Zigbee2MQTT supports the valve directly (model VC-X01D, the other model number Aqara publishes for the Valve Controller T1), exposed as a switch with its battery level. Aqara also lists Home Assistant through Matter over Bridge on an Aqara hub.
View Home Assistant details →Offline automatic shutoff is listed, making the local trigger path a useful installation check. Verify the trigger path, power requirements and loss-of-connection behavior. With an Aqara water leak sensor paired to the same Aqara hub, the leak-to-shutoff automation runs on the hub over Zigbee. Aqara states the Hub M3 executes automations between its devices locally, so they keep working during internet or cloud outages (push notifications still need the internet).
