Catalog note
Aqara lists Alexa among the platforms the valve reaches through Matter over Bridge on an Aqara Zigbee hub (an Alexa Matter controller is also required). The bridge exposes it as an on/off switch, a Matter device type Alexa controls, rather than as a water valve.

- Frizzlife LP365-P
- Yes
Catalog note
Frizzlife's own app and Smart Life both run on Tuya's cloud, and Home Assistant owners report reading the valve and flow data through it: Amazon reviewers say they integrated it into their Home Assistant setup and plot usage there. No Frizzlife-specific integration is listed.

- Aqara Valve Controller T1
- Yes
Catalog note
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).
- Frizzlife LP365-P
- Yes
Catalog note
The manual says that even when unplugged it keeps monitoring and can shut off the valve automatically on its internal battery, with the app used only for remote control.
- Aqara Valve Controller T1
- No
- Frizzlife LP365-P
- No
Catalog note
The LP365 has no leak sensor input; Frizzlife's wireless leak sensors are sold only with the separate LPG365 kit and are not compatible with the LP365.
Power
