Key differences between MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller and Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator

A summary of selected recorded differences between these water shutoff valves. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — Yes; Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — No.
SmartThings (integrations): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — No; Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Yes (Zooz lists SmartThings as a compatible hub and publishes an Edge driver for the ZAC36.).
Freeze Alerts (leak protection): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — No; Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Yes (A built-in temperature sensor (-40 to 257 F) can trigger custom alerts and automations when temperatures drop near freezing.).
Offline Auto Shutoff (leak protection): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — No (The valve has no leak detection of its own. It closes when a Tuya leak sensor triggers an app automation, which runs through the Tuya cloud, so it needs the internet.); Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Yes (The included wired leak probe closes the valve even if the hub or all wireless communication is down, so it works as a standalone leak stop.).

Specifications to check side by side

Z Wave (connectivity): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — No; Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Z-Wave Hub required (Z-Wave 700 series with Z-Wave Long Range (version 2.0 of the ZAC36), S2 Authenticated security and SmartStart. It controls remotely only through a Z-Wave hub, and the wired leak probe works with no hub at all.).
Alexa (integrations): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — Yes (MOES states the controller works with Amazon Alexa through the Smart Life app.); Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Z-Wave Hub required (Zooz says Alexa speakers have no Z-Wave radio and reach Z-Wave devices through a compatible hub such as SmartThings or Hubitat.).
Google Home (integrations): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — Yes (MOES states the controller works with Google Assistant and Google Home voice control.); Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Z-Wave Hub required (Zooz says Google speakers have no Z-Wave radio and reach Z-Wave devices through a compatible hub such as SmartThings or Hubitat.).
Battery Backup (power): MOES WiFi Smart Water/Gas Valve Controller — No (The package holds only the DC adapter; MOES lists no battery or backup accessory, so a power outage leaves the valve in its last position.); Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator — Sold separately (Zooz sells an optional backup battery pack (smart power bank) that keeps the Titan powered during an outage and shuts the valve off before the battery runs dry.).
