I researched for the best water leak detector for the past few days because I want to protect my home from unexpected leaks and costly water damage. I read reviews on the New York Times, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and they are marking these two as best:
However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. In my home, I mainly want to place detectors near the washing machine, water heater, under sinks, and basement area. Quick alerts to my phone, good battery life, and reliable performance are very important to me.So which one should I buy? any recommendation will be appreciated.thanks in advance
I’m not familiar with the LP365 as it is not an Alarm.com compatible device; however, the Moen Flo is a smart water valve that is compatible with Alarm.com.
If you have an Alarm.com compatible system and already have or are planning to get water sensors for your alarm system, we’d recommend going with the Flo, as you can connect and control it from the Alarm.com app, get alerts if it is triggered, and you can configure automation rules to automatically close the water valve if a water alarm is triggered on your system.
