Enter Flume - I can't say enough about the experience from start to finish - from concept to production, it's well thought out all the way through. They tell you what kind of meters are supported and which aren't. They make pairing the device to your home wifi as simple as can be, and provide you with a bridge so that you're not left wondering whether it's something you did or just poor wifi signal to blame when something doesn't work. The app is outstanding - simple, straightforward, and reliable. And the accuracy of the unit is dead on - as in down to the fraction of a gallon of water.
I have two deployed because I split time between two houses, and it is a lifesaver. On one occasion, someone accidentally left a toilet flushed with the flapper open (the flapper was on it's way out), and gallons of water were being wasted every minute. Rather than get a surprise bill at the end of the month, I got a notification of a leak and addressed it that day.
I bought the devices to prevent flooding, not so much to track efficiency or use. I figured with one house unoccupied at all times, if something broke or failed I wouldn't know about it until it's too late. The features in the app are fantastic in that way, from push notifications on the device to text messaging (down to being able to designate an alternate for when you're unavailable or out of town). While I was looking more for flood prevention, it has proven a valuable tool in addressing our water use. Combined with a smart sprinkler (RainMachine FTW), I can calculate down to the gallon how much I'm watering and where, and know when parts of my lawn that aren't getting enough water might need a boost, and when some is getting too much. I can tell right away when one of the toilet flappers is on it's way out, or if someone left a garden hose partially open. These might not be huge cost savers, but it's waste - and I'm glad to stop waste wherever possible.
I wish these guys would get into the broader market of home automation, but I can understand why they might want no part of that. I just hope they continue to support the Flume device as they have to date, because it is exemplary in every way.
This is an update: Have used now for nearly a month and find the detail and response of this system amazing. My water company is trying to get me to buy a monitor that would only work inside the house and for 3 times the cost of this device which will tell me if have problem outside or inside. I find this very sensitive. It does take a minute for it to show zero flow after running water but that is minimal issue. With this you will be able to tell what various appliances, etc. use in water use as well as warning you if there is a problem. And it will help those in water shortage areas to use water wisely. So far extremely pleased with this product and high recommend to those who feel it can be helpful to them.
Downloading the app and setting up the account was extremely easy. Only issue I had was that they wanted a picture to continue the set up. I had taken and submitted to tech support a picture. Did not realize that I could use that picture but when when to take picture it let me go to my phone picture. I originally set the bridge up in a back room closer to the outside meter but turned out too far from the router. Moved to room closer and set up with no problem. Bridge is two walls including brick wall and 100 feet from the pit with meter. But readings are perfect. Was interesting to flush a toilet as I have two settings, quick or longer and on quick found it took 2 gallons. Ran washer on medium load and took 17 gallons. Worth knowing. Very pleased and while this is third day of use if I find something different will come back and update this review. At this point can recommend this product. I bought this after my water company e mailed me wanting me to buy a monitor that only monitored the indoor use at a cost of $600. But I was equally concerned with the line which is some 150 feet from their meter to my house. If there were a break in that line I have insurance to cover replacement of the line but would be responsible for water that is lost. Neighbor who had problem got $700 bill just for water! So it is good to know as quickly as possible if there is a problem. One thing to know is that in setting you should set this for the two alerts. First if continuous run for more than 2 hours (can turn off if watering or ignore) and if 5 gallons a minute in 15 minutes, e.g., major leak. Both setting can be turned on or off. I am surprised but very pleased at how accurate this is in real time. At a cost of $199 this is good value to me.

One issue is you can't properly add a Canadian address when registering the product though in the end it didn't stop setting it up.
One nice thing the app could use is the ability to quickly select some water usage within the graphs it provides to do a quick tally of your water usage selection, vs adding it up manually.
