Canadian consumer: The cheaper dial-like sensor from Lowe’s reacted much sooner than this one. I’m hoping it will work well when the Spring thaw happens. It hasn’t really been tested under spring melt conditions.

Calmudgeon: I now have four of these in various locations in the house and shop. They have paid for themselves on at least two occasions, once when a recent pex crimp began leaking and once when the water heater sprang a leak. If you're home, the device beeps loudly. If you're away alerts come via email. One of these failures occurred while we were away on a 5-week vacation.

On a third occasion one of these units alerted me to a leak in a client's house that could have proved absolutely disastrous. They were gone on vacation and wouldn't have been home for another month at least. I had been shutting the water on and off while installing a vanity, and the on/off pressure caused an old kitchen shut-off to fail.

Once you become slightly familiar with the setup, it only takes a couple minutes.
1. Download the app.
2. Pair the device with your phone via bluetooth, then with your phone
3. Give it a name and location
4. Provide it with your wireless AP and password. Bob's yer uncle.

I do wish the batteries lasted a bit longer, and the units can, on occasion, deliver a false positive, particularly if they come into contact with any salt (as in the vicinity of a water...

MKH: I researched and compared over a dozen of these water-leak detectors. The resideo was the best water-leak detector for my needs. I was looking to purchase a water-leak detector to set in my upstairs HVAC’s emergency drain pain, to alert me when excess condensation drips into the pan, which means the condensation line is clogged. I already have several water-leak detectors and an automatic shutoff valve on my water line; but, I needed a separate device on a different system for my HVAC because I would not want my HVAC water-leak device to shut off my plumbing if it sensed moisture. I just wanted to be notified for this—a notification sound locally and a notification sent to my iPhone.

All of these types of water-leak devices run on batteries and provide notifications when water is sensed (by e-mail, text, and/or push notifications). My priorities in finding the right device for me were: a solid piece of equipment, that is easy to set up, that will attach to my home wifi network without a hub and remain connected, that is easy to reset and change out batteries (without a screwdriver), and that would provide a notification when the batteries need changing. Temperature and...

Denis Millette: Efficace mais le manuel d'instructions manque carrément d'instruction sur ce que l'on fait après qu'une fuite soit détectée. J'ai une fuite simulée qui a resté 24 hres sur mon app et ça m'a réveillé à deux reprises! J'ai appelé le support à la clientèle et ils m'ont aidé et ce fut rapide.

abfababfab: I debated between this and d-link. I opted for this one because of the longer cable and option to extend the cable to monitor my basement utility and laundry room with one device.

When I got it the box said Resideo not Honeywell. At first I thought I was sent the wrong product but it turns out it is part of Honeywell. It looks like some things have changed as it uses the Honeywell Home not Lyric app and it is compatible with Alexa and Google Assist. This differs from some reviews I read.

To set it up, I first had to put in the batteries by removing the rubber backing. Easy enough, but putting it back on you have to be very careful as you need to drag along the edge for the back to snap back on. If you miss this there will be a gap and therefore any water would easily get inside.

After that I downloaded the app. I guess it took too long so the device ended pairing mode. I had to remove the back cover again and hold the reset button. A bit annoying. The app set up was pretty straightforward after that. I did not like that I have to give location permission however. I understand if you have multiple devices at difference locations but for one house it does not...

B. McCarthy: The contractor says that the leak in the wall started at least 2 years ago, judging by the condition of the drywall and the amount of mold in the closet that the bathroom backs up to! We haven't been in that closet in ages, it's full of boxes that we never look at, or at least it was. Black mold 2 inches thick or more is all that's left of the bottoms of the lowest boxes. The tile in the bathroom was strong enough that we never knew there was a leak until the day that it got worse and I could hear it behind the wall. That was the day the carpet in the bedroom got wet. That was 5 weeks ago, the mold is now gone, the bathroom is now nearly repaired, and I'm out $9,000! All because of a leak that might have cost $500 to fix if I had caught it 2 years ago... That $9,000 includes two devices. A $200 whole house water monitor, and a $50 leak detector. Because if this ever happens again, I don't want to wait 2 years to find out! It also includes extra tile in case it happens again and I do catch it early!

The water meter on the whole house is nice, but it won't tell me where the leak is, and it won't tell me the minute it happens (it'll alert me after 2 hours, and then I'll think...
