It does look interesting, but I’ll wait for retail. I dislike when crowdfunding creators set low goals, so that they’ll be guaranteed to meet them and can say things like, “10,000% funded in the first two days!” In my experience, these are the campaigns that often fail to deliver on time or at all,…

all true, but I really hope they make it as I’m looking for a similar device for years :slight_smile:

The Same Situation here. The Price is high on my oppinion. And for me it is hard to decide do I really need the device? How high is the possibility that a water line will break? In Germany. Zero percent. So I think it is nice to have. Furthermore I cannot imagine how the device will figure out if I …

Why water line has to break? What if water heater breaks or under sink pipes? You dont think its useful to find out you are leaking 100liters per minute while you are not in the house? It can detect it by patterns, same as electricity. Different “devices” draw water/power in a different way

As @vanja pointed out, the device doesn’t look for breaks in the water line. It detects flow, and notifies you if something doesn’t seem right. Saying that, I’d agree that it’s expensive since it’s a new technology. I think it would make sense for people who don’t do home automation, because it’s a…

Do you use smart electricity meter? I do. Is it useful or necessary to have grafana graphs for daily/monthly/yearly usage for last 4 years? Not really. Is half of my sensors and smart devices or rules needed? No if you are not Home automation nerd. This aquaro will be a nice addition to a nerdy gra…

I have the first generation Flume on my water main. It’s not ideal because it’s not a local api (but of all the data I could have out in the world, how many times we flush our toilets is not a huge concern for me). That said, in the years I’ve had it, it has twice caught burst pipe leaks when the…

[image] JustinG: That said, in the years I’ve had it, it has twice caught burst pipe leaks when they started and were still minor instead of days later when the damage would have been visible and extensive (one of those would have included significant damage to my foundation). That’s awesome.…
