Software has many problems

Software has many problems and glitches. The product is good but first they have to solve all the problems with the software. It's almost impossible to sync the Valve to your account unless you use Help Support. Don't even try to change your wifi.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

It was great, everything worked but a firmware update stopped everything.

I bought this device, it worked perfectly. The app needed an update, it did. I tried reconnecting the valve controller, the valve needed new firmware. 10 minutes ha! 5 hours later it was just blinking. Then the light came on, tried to connect again, but nothing. Wrote support, tried different things, nothing. They said they would contact me for a replacement unit. 2 weeks later still nothing. Sent them an email, no reply.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Read before you buy

I bought this valve in December 2020 for building a new house. 6 months later I'm in the process of installing it and it doesn't interact with the software. I call tek support who helped me spend over 2 hours getting it working. They're promoting me to level 2. They're giving me a long procedure for not following anything. I call them on the phone and they say the device has old firmware you must have bought from a home store or Amazon and they are not a reseller they sell old devices. now he's

Pros
  • Great for me

Almost impossible to update the firmware. . .Good luck with customer support

The device failed to connect to the device because it reported that it needs to update the firmware. The firmware is updated through the debugging tool (there is nothing about it in the instructions, I spent about 2 hours on the support site). After many repeated calls with no answer, I left voicemail. No Answer. I sent three emails, no response other than the auto message they received. After many repeated attempts, I finally reached tech support and spent an hour and 15 minutes with them. I…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Very good option after contacting tech support

. That's what I need. I have PEX pipes on both sides of my plumbing and needed something that would work with this application. This product was physically VERY easy to install. However, after playing around with the app for over 30 minutes, I called tech support. They had to do some work on their server side to finally get the device working. Then the leak detector failed and a new one was sent. Although these initial installation issues were a little frustrating, once this device was put to…

Pros
  • . High marks for support and durability from testers.
Cons
  • speed

Great physical product, apps and support good and bad

I have 3 of these for different households and physically they work great and much better than other affordable brands I've tried. But they have 1 new beta and 1 old app and the one I tried will never communicate with their device after a few hours. The second one did, but it also doesn't let me have more than one device, so I can't control the second home. Communication with support is terrible. You need 3 to 12 days to reply me in 30 seconds. It looks like they use a third party support…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Has flaws

Update: So far so good

Update: Like others, mine has stopped working. The leak detector was never reconnected. It worked at first. Seems like the firmware update he keeps wanting to do has broken him. It's useless to me now. It would be great if I knew how to reset it. .Original review: I only have Guardian for a few days at the moment. Installation and setup went well and if you follow the instructions everything should be fine for everyone. I bought the kit with only 1 sensor as I was a bit worried about how well…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
