So this is for keeping track of water usage at a SINGLE sink? WTF.

No, entire home.

These use some kind of electromagnetic or sonic sensor to determine if a fluid is flowing and how fast. I'm sorry that I don't know the details.

For anyone running Home Assistant, if you're nerdy enough to have HA running, you may be nerdy enough to google around and hack together your own ESPHome based sensor that could do the same thing.

A lot of negative reviews at BB. Be concerned?

My hot water line is plumbed as a recirculating loop, running on a timed tankless pump

Will this work with a hot water recirculating loop

Screw it. Ordered one, even though I already have Flume. Tired of having to change the expensive ass Lithium batteries, and dealing with the family of snails and spiders living in my meter box. All I care about is leak detection anyway, not usage.

Quote from MadMonkey :
I am suspect of its accuracy given that it gets installed at a single sink instead of on the incoming water line of the home as to how well it can monitor consumption throughout the entire house.

Anybody have any experience with this bad boy?

I have one and paid full price for it. Great piece of kit and I found the support team amazing. It actually is installed on your main water intake and uses AI and your training to determine what is being used. It's a great price.

I believe the plus version is the one that installs on the main.

This version does not go on the main

Quote from opq :
Their support folks have some crazy attitude. They do seem more knowledgeable than your average customer support but wow I have never seen such rude and condescending service

Interesting, I thought about Phyn but ended up going with Flo by Moen and it's been great. The support folks there are very helpful and definitely not condescending at all. Plus, it saved me almost $600/yr on homeowners insurance so it's well worth it!

FYI, reviews on Best Buy and Amazon for this model are pretty bad…

Quote from CreditGuy :
I'm getting one. The trick is going ti be how to install it on the neighbors system and to link the alerts into their phones. If I can get it to monetize the amount of water they are wasting would be perfect. I've mentioned the issue to them but they haven't responded to these hints, so next steps!

Dude… you're "that" neighbor.

I vote that you mind your business and find a hobby.

I believe I will be able to get a small discount on my homeowners insurance with this.

Farmers.com didn't give me a discount. Not sure about other insurance company.
