A:Answer Hello - great question. The product does monitor the entire home's plumbing, as the pipes in a plumbing system are all interconnected. Whether the product will detect irrigation usage and leaks is dependent upon a few things. Phyn works best and is most accurate at detecting usage and leaks if your home has a Pressure Regulating or Reducing Valve (PRV). This is a bell shaped mechanism that is typically located where the water comes into the home. Phyn will pick up all the water usage that comes after the PRV. So, if your irrigation is plumbed before your PRV Phyn will not detect it. If it is plumbed after your PRV Phyn will detect it.
