Works perfectly. Easy setting. 5-year battery

Works great. Easy setting. I put this in my cesspool and now I'm confident I won't be going home to a flooded basement! This device has a replaceable battery that should last 5 years. not very intuitive. But I set everything up in less than 15 minutes.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No automatic mode

Bad WLAN = empty battery in just a few months?

It was impossible to set up a wireless network (wouldn't take a new IP), but I left it in place to at least get a beep. Today the basement is flooded and the notifications are ZERO. After cleaning it for 2 hours I checked it and it's dead. Less than 6 months old and dead? No notifications? This was my second device, I tried to replace it when the first one couldn't catch my WiFi network (2.4). @monoprice - is this how you expect this product to work?

Pros
  • It's fun
Cons
  • There are downsides

UPDATE: 1/19/19 IFTTT working again

Update 1/19/19: Recently found the detector working with IFTTT again. I have updated my rating to 4 stars. I deducted 1 star for poor customer support when not using IFTTT. Although initially announced to work with IFTTT, Monoprice will not support issues with it. The alarm signal on it is also very weak, but that doesn't matter to me as I rely on phone notifications of detected leaks. If it continues to support IFTTT, I would recommend it. Update 12/05/18: The sensor is no longer advertised as

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Works great in household sensors and alarms

This device works perfectly. Several considerations. It would have been cheaper if I had bought it directly from Monoprice. Hence the "lack" of costs. The instructions are terrible - the grammar is barely understandable and the instructions are terrible. It's like the booklet is missing pages. Hence the "lack" of technical support. The writing in the instructions is so small that I had to use a magnifying glass to read them (not that they're worth reading). The device works only on the 2.4 GHz…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • old

Not ready for prime time!

I ordered 4 of these sensors because the price seemed very reasonable. However, during the installation of each of them, they seemed to connect; but when I used the Stitch app to test the network, I got "poor network conditions" every time, even though I was standing next to my very fast router and had a very high internet speed. I noticed that in the fine print, the application checks the port and UDP settings, but doesn't mention what those settings should be. I know these settings are…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity
