loud but intrusive

Works well but I've chosen not to receive phone notifications. This requires access to all my files. WHY should the alarm system be able to access my audio, image and other files simply by letting me know something is leaking? To craft a .you, you must get past it.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Expandable

Useful and unique water sensors and alarms

The product is a very unique and useful idea. I use it under my old fridge which leaks all the time and it helps catch it early before a huge puddle forms. I also have friends who have leaky faucets who also find this a useful product in preventing a more serious problem. A smaller wire extension is also very useful.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

The application is somewhat imperfect.

I could not find any information on using this device with its water leak notification app when the app is not running in the background. All of my other security and home control devices and their apps don't require the app to be running in the background all the time to notify of a security breach or other home crash issues. Why can't this software run without having to keep it open?

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Frequency

Works well for security

This detector is a bit tricky to set up as you have to use the 2.4 network setup but once paired you can go back to 5G. My setup worked better on the old iPad than the latest iPhone BUT the company's customer support was EXCELLENT. Questions and a little "handshake" were excellent! Once paired and set up the detector works as promised and I get an instant notification on my iPhone and iPad which is what I wanted. I recommend this company. A good product. and great support.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Didn't do its primary job

I bought this about 7 months ago because about every 12-18 months my drain pump resets and floods my laundry room. When setting it up, I first ran a test and checked regularly over a couple of months to make sure everything was fine. It appears to be in good condition. Til today. The drain pump failed again, and I only found out when I heard water running out of the drain near my washing machine. Photos are attached. I've tried logging into the app and it just hangs when I try to launch it. It…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • So So
