🚀 WallySense Review

If your Northeast home is on the cusp of winter and it has a 50 year old stove and you won't be staying there for a few days , there is something to worry about. It won't be long before the plumbing freezes. What are you going to do? In my case, I bought WallyHome. I placed the sensors almost where I wanted without really considering that they are near AC power lines. By the way, most of my house is in flexible metal tubing. I plugged the hub directly into an outlet and bypassed the UPS/surge…

I originally rated this system very negatively (see below) and only gave it one star. I was then contacted by the support staff at SNUPI Technologies, makers of WallyHome. They helped me solve my problem and even sent me a new unit to rule out a problem with their equipment. After a lot of trial and error and lots of communication with the folks at SNUPI, I was able to trace the problem back to my TRENDnet Powerline NICs that I use at home. These TRENDnet adapters have received good reviews but

I feel so much better having these sensors in my home to monitor and protect my valuables. The system is extremely easy to set up; Plug it into my router, plug it straight into the wall, download the app and it automatically detects the hub, press the button on the sensor and place it in the right place. I installed and started all 6 sensors in less than 20 minutes. Absolutely the easiest device I've set up. The data it provides is fantastic. It has been working for me for 6 weeks now and I…

I wasn't sure when I bought this product. I liked the idea of installing water detectors in my house that would communicate with me - that way I wouldn't get into a situation (again) where after a leak we find out that our battery powered alarm has failed. These monitors work while using the house. electrical wiring to send a signal back to the controller which then communicates with you via smartphone app, email and SMS. I was concerned about the lack of electrical wiring in my basement where…

The plastic that houses the electrical components looks like it was made in someone's basement chemistry lab. Not what I would call high quality. On the other hand, it's very easy to install and for the most part everything works as expected, with a few exceptions. Every day one or two remote sensors lose connection, but eventually they keep reconnecting. I don't know what's causing it, but I have them in two houses (mainly for monitoring temperature, water and humidity) and they both do the…

[UPDATE 2017: Wally is a great home surveillance system. The best on the market. But don't buy this old original version. The new version (V2) has been completely revised and offers clear advantages over V1. I've been using the new V2 system for eight months now and I'm very happy with it. The V2 system is available from Revain.] I've tried several sensor systems to monitor my home's environment (temperature, humidity, and water leaks) when I've been away for long periods. I haven't found a…

Expensive but with six sensors included this was the best system for the price I could find for so many monitoring points. I bought it to monitor my apartment which is 7 hours / 400 miles away. With a downloadable phone app, you can monitor water leaks, temperature and humidity in six locations. If necessary, you can purchase additional sensors and add them to the system. All sensors are powered by a built-in battery. They communicate wirelessly with an internet-connected hub using AC wiring as
