The Leak Gopher Z-Wave Valve Controller is a professionall grade Z-Wave Device that allows the water to your home or business to be automatically turned off when water is detected by water sensors connected to any Z-Wave capable controller. The Leak Gopher Z-Wave Valve Controller is Z-Wave Plus compliant allowing you to use all of the functionality and programmability built into the new, Z-Wave Plus Controllers. It comes with a Stainless Steel Electronic Ball Valve.
Design and Operation of
The Leak Gopher Valve Controller
Simply install the stainless steel Electronic Ball Valve on the ½” or ¾” water line where water enters your home or business, attach it to the Leak Gopher by plugging in the RJ-11 telephone jack, and tell your Z-Wave controller about the Leak Gopher and your home or business is protected.
Standard telephone wires and connectors can be used to extend the Ball Valve’s wire so it is easy to locate the Electronic Ball Valve where you need it to be, and still have easy access to the Leak Gopher Z-Wave Valve Controller.
When any of your water sensors get wet, your Z-Wave Controller will tell the Leak Gopher to turn the water off and Voilà! No Flood!
A fully capable Z-Wave device, you can also program scenes that allow your Leak Gopher to turn the water off when you leave home and arm your security system and back on when you get home. No more worries about your house flooding while you are away.
Also, for your convenience and piece of mind, there are two buttons on the Leak Gopher that allow you to instantly turn your water off and on. No more looking for that water key and digging in the yard looking for your water meter!

The following table summarises the channels available for the LGZW -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Switch | switch_binary | switch_binary | Switch | Switch |
| Alarm (system) | alarm_system | alarm_system | Switch |
Switch the power on and off.
The switch_binary channel is of type switch_binary and supports the Switch item and is in the Switch category.
Indicates if a system alarm is triggered.
The alarm_system channel is of type alarm_system and supports the Switch item. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OFF | OK |
| ON | Alarm |
The device has no configuration parameters defined.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The LGZW supports 1 association group.
The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation.
Association group 1 supports 4 nodes.
