I bought the Flume 2 Smart Home Water Monitor & Leak Detector for a large house with an extensive, automated garden system, and it’s now non-negotiable infrastructure for me. I travel a lot and thought I had a handle on usage—my typical summer bill, including watering, is about $200. Then a hidden leak pushed that to roughly $700 a month. Because I’m billed quarterly, I didn’t catch it until I opened a statement for more than $2,000! Flume fixed that blind spot. It was easy to install, and the app gives me real-time visibility from anywhere. I can dial the sensitivity up enough to catch even small changes in usage. The most valuable feature is the ability to distinguish indoor from outdoor leaks so I know immediately whether to look at sprinklers and drip lines or something inside the house. What used to take days of guessing now takes minutes to diagnose and address. For any property with complex irrigation or high seasonal usage, this is a smart, bill-saving upgrade.

Update 6/19/23: I have had my flume 2 for two years now. Works great- but lowering stars due to flume’s changing the replacement battery to “proprietary”. My original pack that came with the unit lasted two years. The original pack is simply a holder for 4 AA lithium cells you can get anywhere. But Flume now wants you to buy a replacement pack for $14. It uses four AA cheap no-name Chinese cells spot welded in a plastic housing. Field reports indicate these cells last far less than the factory Everready cells that came in my original Flume2. So they sell you cheap, no name cells that last far less. Very disappointed Flume tried to change the battery type to proprietary, when we all know it is 4 AA lithium in the package. The approach is greedy and NOT environmentally friendly. The four “blue” spot welded AA are cheap, and don’t last as long. So, Flume added cost and materials (spot welding, molded case), all adds energy, not readily recyclable, and takes far more energy to manufacture and ship than the user replaceable original. Fortunately, I have the original reusable cage and will forevermore replace my own. Shame, Flume. Shame. Pros: Easy install, very good and responsive customer support. Cons: battery- see above. Missing a signal strength indicator on the app; I had a unit that could not connect reliably at 60 feet line of site- Customer support can see the signal strength, I could not- so no ability to self-diagnose. First, I LOVE the FLUME 2, when it worked. The first unit I received worked for 12 hrs- I enjoyed seeing the water usage patterns- but then it just stopped working- it lost connection between the Bridge and the sensor at my meter. The only way to regain connection was to remove the sensor from my meter and bring it close to the bridge. I spent days on the app chatting with Customer support, trying different things. In the end, they said: Just return it, it won't work in your application. I said "but wait, surely it should have more than 60 feet range?, maybe mine is defective". Eventually I had to "escalate" (to a manager), who authorized a no question asked shipment of a new unit. I installed it, verified it worked great- my meter is in a "vault" with a cement cover. I ended up being able to put the bridge about 100ft away, near a window but not facing the window. So the first unit WAS defective (low range). With the 2nd unit, I have now had great water monitoring experience. And, the customer support (via app chat) WAS very responsive. I dock one star for: a) no signal strength meter on the app? That was the problem- a simple set of bars would tell you if your bridge and sensor have enough strength. b) I had to convince them something must be wrong with the first unit, and ask for a supervisor/manager to intercede. c) there should be more troubleshooting/diagnostic tests and tools for self-diagnosis, without having long chat sessions with Support. FLUME customer support did the right thing, we figured out together that Flume 2 could work in my setup. High marks for the overall experience- they brought a 1 star (when they said "just send it back") to 4 star because of Customer support- they were always patient and polite...

Was surprised how easy this was to install and use. Assuming your meter is compatible (take a photo and the website will tell you) the unit installs in a few seconds, and connection to the app was flawless. AI detection of different devices is pretty good, but I'd like a bit more manual override ability more than simple renaming. UI Graphs could be (and are being) improved, but overall is very simple to use and produces great stats. Leak and high use detection works well, and connection/compatibility with Home Assistant was a big plus.

WORKS GREAT. Make sure your water meter is compatible, you have wifi available nearby. The app is great. This device won't shut your water off like more expensive competitors, however it will email/text you if there is a leak or high flow event. Great for monitoring water consumption and alerting quickly if you have a leak or leave a tap on. Customer service is very responsive. Highly recommend.

Te pide número de USA para crear la cuenta enviando un sms, también una dirección obligatoria de usa, ya después de eso resultó que mi medidor no es compatible y eso que tengo uno muy moderno.

Dont buy this. It doesnt work and if you want to contact someone, they dont have a phone number. Worst customer service.. Actually no customer service .. Just pay your money and good luck . They are too greedy to have someone pick up the phone and help. A $600 mistake .. ..
