White Flo Smart Water Leak Detector, Water Sensor Alarm for Home, 3-Pack, 920-005

I just installed 12 units in my house. As a background, I had a different brand installed in my house and second home. All worked well. After a year or so, my wifi was upgraded at my house. Now I coukd not reconnect the units to the wifi in my house. But the units continued to work at my second home. So, after not having leak detectors for some time, the hose on our dishwasher broke and was flooding our kitchen. Luckily I was right there when it happened and shut the water down, which brings me back to how important leak detectors are. So after searching, I decided on the Moen. I easily installed all 12 Moen units. One did come with a dead battery. The issue I see that many have is that these units have to connect up to Wifi 2.4 and not your general 5.0 wifi. And some wifi appliancees out there are pretty ‘picky’ on which 2.4 works. That’s my experience. These Moen installed easily, as my 2.4 wifi worked well with them. My experience has been some brands will work with my wifi and others won’t. I’m lucky with the Moen. I also tested one by purposely putting a very slight film of water around a detector. And it worked flawlessly by sending an alert. I also liked the app very much. Gives you the temp and humidity. And you can set the type notifications and what info. So far I’m very pleased. Just be aware of those who had trouble connecting or staying connected. Comes down to the quality of their Wi-Fi. Like I said, some brands will work for you, and others won’t. I’m happy.

I love these devices but I hate the cost cutting of batteries only. In theory, you put these were water can leak but you would not notice in time. These would go under counters, in attics, in washrooms, and other areas that often are difficult to reach. I would pay double the price to have an AC adapter option. Exactly 1 year into my install the batteries are failing and the batteries are expensive and not environmentally friendly to dispose of batteries. The battery cost and hassle of replacing and buying batteries every year makes this product less than it could be. Ideally, it is better on AC. If you lose power, the device cannot talk to the wifi so the only reason for the batteries is bottom line cost and agency approvals. It was a marketing decision....not an engineering decision. I would buy another 3 pack and pay the additional cost of having the AC option. 2/24 I am done. I have come to hate the Moen design. The base unit does not sit flat in a cabinet and when you use the expensive cord it also does not sit flat. Where you put these devices is subject to disruption so the sensors are always getting moved which the design should expect but not with Moen. If you bump the cradle the connection to the sensor wire is lost and you will never know. The battery life is more like 8 months at most and I have had these long enough to prove it. The alarm volume is a joke. You cannot hear it 30 ft away unless the home is completely silent. How ridiculous to make an alarm and make it so quiet that if it is in a cabinet closed then no one will hear it beeping. I am moving to a D-Link that is a different setup and after Moen I can see why the D-Link makes sense and cents. It uses a hub that plugs into AC and has a "screaming" loud alarm. The Hub supports up to 24 sensors making the D-Link similar in price for the first 2 sensors but you saves hundreds of dollars if you need 6 or more. With the new system, you take a $25 sensor and place it on the floor of the cabinet, pan, or wet area floor. No mounting, no harness. The sensors link to the hub and that links to an app on your phone.

I own two homes in mountain west regionand 18 sinks between them. Both homes are equipped with Flo on the water main, and these leak sensors at every sink / toilet. These are great products, I’m not sure why their ratings are mid. For most of the leak sensors I also have the long cord which detects water, wherever possible I use that combo to get coverage under both bathroom sink and toilet. These detectors have already saved me in 2 instances where water was leaking in sink cabinets. They also can notify if the temperature and/or humidity levels go beyond your pre-set limits, and this feature helped me realize that my heat had died in one of the homes when it was zero degrees out! Had I not known this my pipes throughout the home would have frozen. I have found connectivity to be easy, no 2.4 vs 5ghz issues with WiFi (I use Xfinity with pod extenders throughout each home). I do not get false alarms like some users report. Battery life seems very good as they still report 100% life after several weeks. Prior to using these Flo devices I tried to save money on a cheaper brand and those consistently disconnected from my WiFi so finally I bit the bullet. I am very pleased with these Flo devices, they cost more but are worth it in my opinion.

I use these to detect if my dehumidifier bucket is full so I can go empty it in my shed. I've been using it for a little under a year, so here are my thoughts: - I really do wish there was a way to run these off of wall power. The battery lasts a long time when it's not beeping, but let's say I'm at work and it starts beeping, the battery will likely be dead by the time I get home. I solved this by getting rechargeable CR123A batteries, but I essentially have to have a rotating pack of them to replace in case it goes off. - After the detector puck has been submerged in water, it takes a while to dry out completely. That means you can remove it from water, dry it off, plug it back in, and the meter will still go off! It's annoying, but because I have several of these I can just keep a rotation of dry pucks as well. Otherwise it works well, and it does detect the presence of water. I've never had a Wifi signal problem with it, and it reconnects to the Wifi flawlessly every time I replace the battery. I had been looking for a water detector that had an external puck AND could be plugged in, but I settled for this one. I do plan on putting more of these around the house wherever water is.

Unfortunately app does not work in UAE so I had to return them.

SE INSTALA FACILMENTE Y LA APP FUNCIONA DE LO MEJOR

I like that I ocassionaly get loss of signal alarms as it usually means my router needs a reboot as other devices are down too.The audible alarm is loud enough but not overpowering

After reading good reviews of this product ordered a box of three. The instructions, received upon arrival said "download associated app before unpacking" . Went to Google playstore. App "not available in your region". Huh? Tried using another device. Same. Went to company website. Very unhelpful, and trying to find email contact almost impossible. After 30 mins tracked one down. Fired off email. 24 hours later no reply. Resorted to social media. At last a response: "Android App only available in US and Canada". Well what a waste of time that was. Product therefore almost useless and returned. Luckily the seller was superb and understanding and refund easily obtained. So don't buy if you want the product to work with the android app!!

Used in the water leak subsystem of my home automation system. Tried several commercial water leak detection products but all came with a discrete sensor that only detects a leak if placed in a depression under the source. This sensor cord is so much better as it is 6 feet in length and can be connected in a chain of up to 3. It can detect water leaks along its whole length. Uses. Standard 3.5 mm connection. I have this connected via low voltage wiring to an ESP32 microcontroller that can handle 5 of these detector cords For most non-diy people, I would suggest replacing the discrete sensor that comes with most leak detection products with this cord sensor. Those discrete sensors are not very useful where you are not able to place them in sump directly under your washing machine for example. They are likely to miss small leaks but would work well if a pipe burst...
