Watering valve L14 We

It all starts one morning when I want to pilot the pool filling, even remotely. I receive the Connected valve L14 from We. Quickly, I unpacks the package, I analyse each technical detail, then Iintegrates the valve in Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant.

I am testing the temperature sensor Humidity Zigbee Moes KCTW1Z-02

🔍 I check the received model

The technical sheet indicates the model ZSS-KB-TH-LF-C-MS. On the cardboard, it is written in tiny and almost illegible, but on the back of the sensor, the model is perfectly visible:

Model inscribed on the back of the sensor

Good surprise: the battery is included. So I can test the sensor immediately, without having to buy a specific model. The supplied battery is new, protected by a tab.

Installation is very simple: the sensor stands, sits on a piece of furniture or sticks to the wall with the supplied double-sided (or not depending on the batch). I have nothing to break through: it is clean and reversible.

🔍 I check the received model

On the cardboard, it is impossible to read the reference – they dared gray on gray gradient! It is unreadable, so I advise you to check the model on the seller’s website before purchasing.
