I have one. Dome water valve https://www.amazon.com/Dome-Automati.../dp/B01LX3JFR8.

For this model you need a hub, or brain, here is one that is highly recommend https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Smart.../dp/B07FJGGWJL.

With the hub you can add a door sensor. Here is how I use it: home watch comes in, the water is turned on and I get an email from the hub. Later I shut it off.

I also use a water monitor to check for leaks. Here are two: https://www.amazon.com/Flume-Smart-H.../dp/B07GPXKN8Z. And https://www.amazon.com/StreamLabs-Sm.../dp/B078SDZ3QG.

I have had home watch send me pictures of the exterior indicating they did a check but never entered the home. Once I got a urgent text telling me about a major leak, it turns out my renters washed their car with a running hose, I got rid of the hose and no leak alerts since. It did prove to me that the technology works.

Edit to add, I don't care about car washing, I simply don't want leak alerts.
