FrankEver (Powered by Shelly) Smart Sprinkler Controller FK-06X (6-Zone) - 6-zone valve controller built on the ShellyX chip

Quick verdict

A 6-zone valve controller built on the ShellyX chip, offering complete offline setup via an on-device web interface plus MQTT and the local Shelly HA integration. It runs Shelly's local firmware with an on-device web interface and MQTT, and HA's Shelly integration controls it directly on the LAN. Just note: Newer/less battle-tested than OpenSprinkler.

Standout: A 6-zone valve controller built on the ShellyX chip, with complete offline setup via an on-device web interface plus MQTT and the local Shelly HA integration.
