Stop Leaks Before They Start / SONIC Smart Water Valve – Install, Review & Home Assistant

Leaks are sneaky. Pipes are unforgiving. Floors are expensive. 😅
That’s why today I’m testing the SONIC Smart Water Valve by Watergate - a smart leak protection system designed to automatically shut off your main water supply before your home turns into an indoor swimming pool 💦🏊‍♂️.
In this video, I walk you through the installation, setup, and a full hands-on review of SONIC, including Home Assistant integration using the Local API. You’ll see how it monitors water usage, pressure, temperature, detects unwanted water flow, and reacts when something goes wrong — all while keeping your smart home safe and dry 🏠✨.

⚠️ Home Assistant users:
Make sure to buy the Local API together with SONIC — you’ll get 50% off and unlock full local control 🔥
