The Streamlabs water monitor gives you the peace of mind that your home is protected from water damage. It attaches easily to your existing plumbing, with no pipe cutting required, and uses ultrasonic technology to measure and detect changes in the flow of the water in your pipes. It's Wi-Fi enabled, so you can check on your home anytime, anywhere using the smartphone app. And real-time leak alerts will notify you if you need to take action. The Streamlabs water monitor is also part of your complete smart home, integrating with both Nest and Alexa systems.
A: No you don't need the subscription service to keep using the device, but once the "premium" trial service expires you do loose a lot of useful history and comparison information. It will still monitor your daily usage and send you alerts about leaks and remains fully functional.
Q: Can this unit count usage up to a 500,000 gallons so I know when to change my filters?
A: Hi - Thank you for your interest in the StreamLabs Monitor. While you can calculate total usage using the daily/monthly usage in the StreamLabs App, there is no "totalizing" feature that measures total gallons used. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
A: I'm sorry I can't answer your question about the Apple Home Kit, but for myself, I also added the floor sensors. The Streamlabs lets you know when water is flowing, but can't tell you where a leak is. It is great for letting you know how much water you are using each day. For the floor sensors, I recommend Govee. Very inexpensive and work great. They have individual alarms and a phone app also.
Q: will it work on plastic pipe?
A: Hi - Thank you for your interest in the StreamLabs Monitor. The Monitor is compatible with PEX, CPVC, and Copper L/M piping.
A: In my situation (4 plex) yes it works. I installed 5 feet after the meter attaching to 1 inch copper line. Saved my azz a couple of times with running toilets.
A: No... Streamlabs charges a monthly fee to be able to access this level of detail. You can only see your total daily, weekly, and monthly usage--not any more useful than a typical water bill.
Q: Will the monitor work with copper tube that has been painted?
A: No scrape the paint off.
Q: will the streamlabs monitor work with iron pipes?
A: Hello - The StreamLabs Monitor is not compatible with iron piping. The StreamLabs Monitor only works on 3/4" or 1" L or M copper piping, CTS (Copper Tubing Sized) CPVC, and PEX piping. Iron piping is not an approved piping type and will have a larger diameter than CTS (Copper Tubing Size) piping. If installed with 3/4" iron piping we could not guarantee the accuracy of the measurements taken by the unit. The Monitor would not be able to sense that piping type as well. Please see the following link for the approved piping types and sizes that can be used with the StreamLabs Monitor: (https://support.streamlabswater.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009544647-What-type-of-pipe-is-the-Monitor-compatible-with-).
