Got mine installed, and I really like this device! Thanks to the OP. I had never heard of this type of device before.

I signed up for the annual Insight service too. I don't get these people calling it morally objectionable or a "money grab" for a company to ask the customer to pay for a service? Surely, as a cloud based application, they must have costs associated with providing that service?

Do i wish it was "free" (included in the purchase of the hardware) - sure I do. But I am willing to pay $4 month for the enhanced detail of the data. YMMV.

For those with smartthings, there is a 3rd party device handler that allows smartthings to use the flume usage alerts as a leak detector. I got the new Titan valve actuator from zooz which turns my shut off valve. Smartthings will turn off the water with the Titan if it has a leak from the flume or other moisture sensor. I accidentally tested it when running 2 showers and washing machine which triggered the high usage alert and worked well.
Do you know how the titan compares to the bulldog

I like how the titan has 2 mount points, but the bulldog seems to be fairly sturdy with just a single

If my dishwasher broke while running how soon I'll know about it without subscription?
Constant running water over hours are considered a leak by the app.

It's 100% a money grab, homie. It's the same data they've always had available. The only difference is they're attempted to spruce it up with their "AI" detection, which at it's current implementation questionably just categorizes indoor vs. outdoor water usage.

Otherwise, their subscription is just taking the raw data and giving you full access to read the data read by YOUR device YOU paid $120 for. I don't even mean to sound like a detractor of it as I'm an active user of it, but I'm just providing an FYI people that they're paying more for less. I definitely would NOT be a happy user for the product if I had to pay money to the rather basic information their subscription model provides.

Just would like to say at the end of the day this is a basic sensor that detects flow rate of your water meter. Something that even at $120 or its previous $170 price is more than reasonable just for the basic sensor hardware. Give me a break if you think "compiling" that raw data into various convenient formats if worthy of a subscription price.

They said it interfere with their meter
Interferes in a good way or bad way?

My mother had an old "analog" (as in, dials like an old school odometer) water meter for years and they'd have to "honor system" record the number every quarter. Well, it broke and didn't move. After 3 or 4 months of trying to do the right thing and repeatedly tell the town that the meter was broken (and not that they hadn't been using ANY water at all), they just stopped and got free water for many years until the town did a town-wide upgrade to remote monitoring.

I have Flume 1.One of my toilet was leaking last week and wasted 300 plus gallants of water and I did not get any notification. My wife found the leak and turn off the water next day.

I believe they removed one of the two standard alerts late last month, for everyone, when they introduced their Flume Insight Subscription Service leaving only the standard alert that defaults to "Notify me if water is running constantly for 2 hours and 0 minutes". Unfortunately, this same alert also states "This rule is smart enough to filter out common events such as long lasting irrigation cycles", whatever that means. I wonder if it thought your leaking toilet was a long lasting irrigation cycle. Thankfully my Custom Alerts are still there. Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know yet, they axed SMS alerts in July.

Didn't have time to go throw the whole thread but just got an email from Flume that they are changing to a SUBSCRIPTION model to get any leak alerts and other data. Current owners are grandfathered in for some services it seems but new ones YMMV

It gets overwhelming. Every device wants their little subscription service:

Nest cameras, Garage door openers, alarm systems, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube Tv, Spotify, HBO Max, Disney +. Tesla Premium, cellular service, Xbox Gold, internet service. Last thing I need is another monthly bill for something as simple as this.

The 2 alert options I have in my app is "Water running constantly for 2 hours" and "5 gallon per minute flow for 5 minutes."

You can create your own alerts based on GPM and time.

You need a subscription. Unless you were grandfathered in it seems.

Best in class customer service and this works flawlessly, my flume 1 had the antenna get burn marks and drain batteries quick, they immediately shipped me a flume 2 as a replacement, other than that it saved me so much money on pool leak, swamo cooler floater leak, and so much more, it really saved me more than just water cost, i would've had to pay roof repair and also pool leak was costing me a fortune in water! Same with my fish pond and also helped me with irrigation system issues. It also helped me to know how many gallons my lawn was getting! If you own a house with irrigation or pool or pond or even just a washing machine, this is a must, God this makes me sound like i work for them!
