Customers are mixed about the water shutoff of the alarm. Some mention that it shuts off the water source immediately and alerts the household. They say it's a great alternative to rusted original shut-offs. However, other customers complain that the hot water supply was shut off and the device itself could not shut off the hot air that was spraying out.

24 customers mention6 positive18 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the notifications provided by the water sensor. For example, they mention that the alarm goes off when there is detectable water, it sounds a fairly loud alarm, and the valves shut off. Some say that the device doesn't go off for months at a time, and others say that it triggered a false alarm. Some customers also report that the system won't reset itself. Overall, some customers are not happy with the product's notifications.

"...Function: When water pools under the water sensor a fairly loud alarm sounds and the valves shut off...." Read more

"...It also keeps sending notifications when it connects to wifi. I don't care, i only want a notification if there is a leak...." Read more

"...However, the WiFi module will not work. The status and link lights will not turn on and I cannot connect it to my WiFi...." Read more

17 customers mention0 positive17 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the valve. They mention that the valves themselves can cause massive leaks that they cannot correct. The blue portion of the product now is leaking slowly. The alarm goes off intermittently without any water leak and does not reset. The valve may end up stuck open or require a very large force to overcome.

"...One of my supply hose washers failed and began to leak...." Read more

"...but once the wireless controller is inserted it reverses operation of one of the valves!..." Read more

"...However, it was a slight leak coming from a nearby utility sink supply line that reached the sensor and not the washing machine itself...." Read more

11 customers mention0 positive11 negative

Some customers also report that the connection to network is not reliable and that the product does not integrate with Google Home or other smart services.

"Install was easy. It seems to work correctly however the app cannot find the wifi module and so I cannot control it from my phone or get any alerts...." Read more

"...Sensor worked. Everything fine on that side. However, the WiFi module will not work...." Read more

"Installation was pretty easy, but connecting it to the wifi is impossible!! I have tried for days...." Read more

Great shut-off alternative when original shut-offs are rusted open.  And water leak detection.
4 Stars
Great shut-off alternative when original shut-offs are rusted open. And water leak detection.
Works as advertised. Downgraded it to 4 Stars because poorly written instructions caused water all over the floor; which had to be mopped up. Connecting power immediately opens the valves. Did not have hoses connected.No Drill size stated for drywall anchor. Had to find size by slowly increasing drill size. Used 1/4" drill and was nice and tight, but anchor still stripped (see photos). Another reason we downgraded it to four stars is that screws intended to hold the unit tight to the wall are partially threaded. They need to be fully threaded. Could never get the screw down enough to hold the unit tight to the wall. The drywall anchor started to spin in the wall.We ended up with two holes in the wall from removing the anchor. Then went up 1 inch to install the unit, to hide the holes, and used our own screws.Before purchasing the unit call their customer service. They could not answer some questions.With all that said, it's doing what we needed it to do.The cheap water valves that the Builder installed have rusted opened several years ago. When I ask for help from a friend who was a plumber he said the valves had been soldered on. Would have to rip out the drywall and completely replace the Box.We were using brass Garden hose shut offs because our plumber friend said it's working it was a better solution than ripping out the wall; until one night one of the shut offs burst. Had to run and turn off the main. The hoses have been directly hooked up to the open valves for a few years.Just ordered a new washing machine and dryer set and ordered this unit not only to detect leaks but to be replacement valves and to have a water shut-off.It's only been installed for half a day and this unit appears to be working as it is intended.We intend to use the vacation mode to turn off the valves when we're finished doing laundry to remove the pressure from the hoses.Because we have the option of turning the water pressure off when not in use we could have stayed with the standard rubber hose, but opted for the stainless steel braid reinforced washing machine hose. It was only a $5 up charge.As you can see in the up loaded pics, they just fit side by side in our laundry room box.Haven't zip-tied or routed the wires yet. Will do that when we take out the old washer and dryer the weekend before the new washer and dryer are to be delivered. And thoroughly clean behind and under the washer and dryer. *** update *** 26 Dec 2018. The first controller the LEDs we're acting up only after 3 days with both the orange and the green LEDs on at the same time.Called customer service. They said unit was defective and to call Amazon for replacement. Amazon sent advance replacement unit. Switched out the controller and everything has been good for 4 weeks. Returned the other unit right away (otherwise we would have been charged for the second unit).Unfortunately, the new washer that was delivered was defective and we had to put it into the garage and place the old washer back in its place. Waiting for them to bring replacement washer. That's life sometimes!
