No issues so far except that it takes 1.5 minutes to show the actual water being used.

So if you're looking for something to monitor usage or small, nagging leaks, this is a sufficient device. If you're looking for catastrophic alerts, this is still lacking.
I started with Ver 1 and later upgraded to Ver 2. You set your own alerts. It will determine flow down to 1/1000 of a gallon. Some meters move the tiniest bit and may set off 1/100th of a gallon readings. Mine is off by about 1/2 gal / hr.
You set your own alerts. I have mine set fairly sensitive for over-use alert and it goes off every time shrubs are watered or pool is topped off. My meter is 1000' from base with line of sight and stays connected no problem. You cannot have a metal cover over meter, it works on RF and RF does not like metal.
Overall, I just want it for high flow leak alerts and it works perfectly for that. It's a great product with easy installation via app, great integration both via app and online, and extremely fast support response.
Attached is screenshot from online Flume portal... basically all of this usage though is false positive just due to pressure fluctuations due to long run of water line up hill and water supply flowing downhill. Also attached is usage alert from topping off pool today, alerts come in-app, via text, and via email.
Fantastic, for the price for sure.
Quite accurate from my measurements.
Caught a busted sprinkler that might've already cost more than $50 in the past couple months.
