Hi Neal, Can you share how you have connected your Sonoff Wifi smart switch to the Drain Master S3VT valves.

Hi Neal, Can you share how you have connected your Sonoff Wifi smart switch to the Drain Master S3VT valves.

I did not use Sonoff WiFi, that's what @Chuggs did with his version of electric gate valves using the Valterra motors I believe. I have a drainmaster control panel in the wet bay and a 2nd one in the coach in the sponge drawer pullout in front of the sink. I also control Sanicon there as well.

Thanks, I agree with you, it is the best Mod ever. I have the 2nd drainmaster controller in the 1/2 bath but now I would like Alexa to control it ?

Neal, did you have to slide the 3” pipe into the black tank to get enough clearance to replace the valves. How easy is it to move?

 

[Neal]

I don't recall anything needed for the black side, that was the simple swap. The grey side, on my coach used a step down from 3 inch port in grey tank to 1.5 inch pipe (stupid) which I don't think they do anymore. So I replaced that entire pipe on mine to do this mod.

How did you spread the pipes apart enough to get the valves out?
