Hive Leak Detector

Product Information

The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. It maybe disappointing to current users, as their smart security and leak detection devices become discontinued along with some older models of the Hive Hub. Without these technologies, things like personalised recommendations, your account preferences, or localisation may not work correctly. While we wish it could trigger other devices outside the Flo ecosystem, the Flo by Moon Smart Water Detector still earns our strong recommendation. Apart from that, the Hive portfolio is unaffected and they plan to launch new products in the months and years to come.

And with 'recipes' you can get your Hive devices to interact to take your connected smart home to the next level. Leak alerts are arguably less important for renters, but it’s something landlords might want to consider—although that raises the issue of how the sensors would connect to the internet. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. While Hive smart thermostats and radiator valves will still be supported, the company will drop its security cameras and alarm systems. Hive's Leak Sensor can spot if there's an unusual amount of water flowing around your home which could be a leak.With the Hive app (available on iOS and Android) on your smart phone, it can send you a notification if there's an issue, and even help you find a plumber. Read on to find out why we’ve made this decision – and what it means if you’re currently using any of these products. These are absolutely brilliant bits of kit to work with your Hive heating and Hive hub, informs you via the Hive app when you have a constant drip somewhere in your house or a constant flow/running tap.

However, almost every other day I get an alert saying I have a dripping tap or usage is high or something, when there is nothing.Support for the Hive View indoor camera and Hive View Outdoor camera, along with the Hive Homeshield smart burglar alarm (including sirens, keypads and sensors), will end in three years time on 1 August 2025.

An outlet-powered sensor with battery backup in the event of a blackout would be ideal; unfortunately, they are rare. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. As a smart home technology brand looking to do its part in fighting climate change, Hive wants to devote more resources to new innovations that will get homes closer to net-zero energy usage. Wait for the hub to complete its initial setup and establish a connection, which may take a few moments. The dual upsides to that is you can install the Flume 2 yourself, so can avoid the expense of a plumber, and this smart device is a whole lot less expensive than the more sophisticated competition.

I raised the issue with the seller who attempted to say that I had deliberately damaged the item which is ridiculous. We measured alarm volume using the Decibel 10th app on an iPhone, with the microphone pointed toward the sensor from six inches away. We didn’t directly test integrations with other smart home devices, but inspected each companion app and the online service IFTTT for available features. Attended a certain celebrity's house yesterday and they are losing copious amounts of water "somewhere"! Hive will continue to provide replacements for faulty devices within the 12-month warranty period, or in conjunction with an extended warranty subscription.

Not only that, it's in the Greatmoor EfW facility 30 miles away, if it hasn't been incinerated already. Editors’ note: This testing methodology does not apply to leak detection systems that monitor your water supply line, such as the Flo by Moen, Sinopé Sedna, and Phyn Plus. Devices that support IFTTT, a service that lets you automate tasks between connected devices and services, can trigger actions by third-party devices. That said, there is no better way to protect your home from catastrophic water damage caused by a plumbing failure, and you might qualify for a discount on your homeowners’ insurance policy if you install one. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

Like the runner-up Flo by Moen Smart Water Detector, you’ll get the most benefit from Phyn’s sensor if you also own the Phyn Plus, but operating the sensor by itself will give you plenty of warning that you should shut off your water supply manually before your home incurs significant water damage. I have a genuine Rapport single case and this is inferior in every respect including absence of branding. Fire might be a homeowner’s greatest fear, but any insurance company will tell you that water is the far more common cause of property damage, even if you don’t live in an area subject to flooding. Endless Possibilities Using the free Hive App (available on iOS and Android), you can control your Hive products from anywhere with Wi-Fi through your smart device.
