Best I have found and almost perfect!
5 Stars
Best I have found and almost perfect!
As someone who loves automation and smart devices I had already installed a live power monitor in my house, but was not aware of this product’s existence. Actually found it by chance while browsing and I am glad I did. There are two versions of the hardware and as of October 2020 the Flume 2 is the latest. This version has better battery life (see battery picture) and longer range. Interestingly enough after I registered for an account I got an email from Flume with a link to get a 50% off coupon from the water company, and a note about reaching out to my home insurance for a discount. I plan to do both and was very pleased.As for the device itself, it’s almost perfect but definitely a 5-star item. It’s just 2 pieces (plus a small power adapter). There is a sensor that is placed around the main water meter, and a small bridge box that connects to your home WiFi. Unlike the other systems I saw which you attach to a pipe and thus only measure water flow through that pipe, this attaches with a rubber band (provided) to the water meter and reads fluctuations in the magnetic field given off by the water flow inside, for your entire home. They even include rubber gloves and a tool to open the water pit in the street, wow!Setup was a breeze and the step-by-step process went very smoothly and quickly. Launch the App, scan a few QR codes from the devices and enter your WiFI and you’re off. Meter sensitivity seems good but I just installed it so its been operating for just a day, so we’ll see after a while. Already told me I used 85 gallons in about 30 minutes, ouch.Positives:* Super responsive and proactive support team! They reached out via chat in real-time as I got a leak alert in order to explain it and support me. I was very impressed.* Super easy and simple installation - from box opening to finishing the water sensor calibration it was about 15 min.* Works from very far away - mine is in a full metal box down the driveway about 200ft from the water meter, and still has perfect signal. I saw mentions of 1000ft+* Long battery life - supposed to last a few years but still to be verified* Very sensitive to water usage and will provide breakdown of usage by hour (broken into minutes), day, week and month.* Has website access for the interface, as well as an iOS and possibly an Android app.* Allows editing of weekly water budgets and specifying the number of irrigation cycles per day* Irrigation detection is in beta but has already shown it's pretty accurate after use one day.Negatives/Feature Requeats:* Not really real-time - app says to pull to refresh and it’s delayed about 1min. It’s fine, but real-time would be much better, especially since it’s advertised as such and this is the 2nd generation Flume 2 hardware.* No ability yet to specify cost per gallon, fees and tiers, to compare with water bill and get early heads up on each month’s bill. - support said they are taking my feedback under advisement.* No HomeKit integration (would also bypass the WiFi selection and credential exchange, and make this setup more private)* Asks for a LOT of personal info, some it seems it could do without, but it may be for future features.* More detail/options in the iOS app, like comparing usage from different users with similar households would be nice.* Breakdown by appliance pool/irrigation/house is not implemented but suposedly coming in 2021, as per their support team.If HomeKit integration, real-time readings, and water cost as well as device usage is added, this would be 100% perfect. But do not let any of the "negatives" scare you, the positives greatly outweigh them and since it's software I am sure most will be resolved.
