Difference between this model and their $160 smart valve? They both look like they do the same, differences?

I think the $160 one you are referring to is their newer product that has the motor and LoRa receiver in one unit on top of the valve. This is the X3 controller, which is meant to be a little more robust (I think they market it as “commercial” grade) and has a much longer (10 year) battery life.

Does the 3/4” version come with shark bite fittings and do they work on plastic pipe?

No. It is ready for threaded pipe or threaded fittings. PEX, CPVC, etcetera, will require adapters (SharkBite is good!), not included.

It says, "you can do this! sharkbite fittings make this a diy job for anyone" ...but it doesn't have sharkbite fittings?

I'm sorry about the slow reply. Your question was overlooked. The Sharkbite fittings are a suggestion, not an included item. Each customer's application can be a little different, with copper, CPVC, PEX, etcetera so the Sharkbite fittings, if you are interested in that, would be something you can order online or possibly pick up at your local hardware store. But we do recommend them and using them can make an intimidating project much more in reach as a DIY project for more people (not already inclined to do that themselves). Eric with YoSmart

Is ball valve lead free?? What material is it made out of?

This specific valve is does not actually meet current NSF61 standards. If it did, it would be marked as such by the manufacturer. It's made by a Chinese company that appears to use about 3% lead content in their brass valves. That's no problem at all for non-potable water, like irrigation, and it's better than the older US standard of 8%, but is not up to the latest US standards for "lead-free" pipes (less than 0.25%). Yolink also makes a stainless steel motorized valve that would be lead-free, or you could get their Bulldog valve and use it with a brass valve that you know is lead free. I'm a huge fan of the Yolink devices I own, and the motorized valve I have works very well with their leak sensors.
