I think this is the lowest price I've seen in this. I have had this for about 6 months. My first unit was defective and they replaced it after troubleshooting a bit. Since the replacement it has worked well. It will detect if I have a dripping faucet, I would estimate it detects anything more than one drip per second. Less than that and it may not detect the leak. I plan to add a dome shutoff valve so I can turn off the water main if I'm not home. I looked at the moen all in one solution but the cost of a plumber for install would add significantly to the overall cost.
I purchased this on Prime Day as well and have not had as much luck. I get false positives quite often and after working with their support team it seems as though they are related to pressure fluctuations on my line that appear as usage.
"I'm really sorry but it appears these small usage amounts are coming from pressure fluctuations.
When the triangle on your meter fluctuates back and forth, it implies that there are pressure fluctuations in the system. And when this happens, water flows back and forth across your water meter. We can filter some of that out. However, when the fluctuations get big enough, we have a hard time distinguishing between real water use and these disturbances. "

I wish there was a facepalm emoji, you realize this can alert you to leaks before they cause thousands of dollars in damage.
I've had one for about 4 months and it's been great since. Also great for knowing when you're getting ripped off as I live in a town that has a history of overcharging for water usage.
I also have not been able to order this via mobile or desktop. PayPal or cc did not work.
When I got the error 900 yesterday, I clicked on screen and email their customer support. I received response from "Support Heroes" to email them back image of my cc. This morning they responded saying they contacted their payment processor and all should be good. I went back to the website and was able to make the purchase now.
Still getting error 900 and no way I will be sending them a picture of my card. Even paypal or apple pay doesnt work. I wanted to buy two, but instead I will buy zero.
I installed the StreamLabs monitor a while back and I really like it. They just introduced a model that shuts off the water. It doesn't hook to the main but it looks like it connects to the incoming line after the main. https://www.streamlabswater.com/
Haven't seen the Flume before but I'll look into it more. If you'd told me I would be looking at smart home technology for my plumbing system, I'd have called you crazy. But I totally get the legitimacy of it.

These would all work in this scenario

I asked my co-worker a favor to buy it for me and it took him 1 shot - no errors.
I guess StackSocial thinks I'm too poor to buy from them.
Wrap the tinfoil tighter around your head grandpa.
