EcoNet Bulldog Valve Robot Matter over Wi-Fi EVC400-MW: Capabilities And Limitations

Based on listed specifications, not hands-on testing. Manufacturer sources are linked where checked.

What it offers

  • 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. Works on its own without a smart home hub or an internet connection, and links up to 20 EcoNet leak sensors directly, so a wet sensor closes the valve with no cloud in between.

    View Offline Auto Shutoff details →
  • Matter support is listed, making it a candidate for a compatible Matter setup after model and feature checks. Verify the exact device type, firmware and features exposed in your chosen platform. Matter support is not proof of feature parity. Matter over Wi-Fi, certified by the CSA in January 2025 (Matter 1.0). The certification lists the control module as a WIFI Relay Controller Board with the On/Off cluster, so a Matter app may show the valve as a switch or plug rather than as a water valve.

  • 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. Works through Matter. Home Assistant is a Matter controller, and Matter devices can be added to several controllers at once.
