Works with: hover or tap an icon for the system name. A system is shown when it supports the product directly or through the hub the listing requires. Every monitor here connects over Wi-Fi to its maker's app. YoLink's FlowSmart uses LoRa through a hub, so it isn't included here.

Buyer's guide

Flow monitor or shutoff valve?

A flow monitor watches your water use and spots leaks, dripping toilets, and running hoses. A shutoff valve can also close the main line. Some devices do both; others only alert you.

Does it need a plumber?

Strap-on meter readers clip around your water meter with no plumbing. Inline monitors and valves are cut into the main line and usually need a plumber.

Will it catch small leaks?

Most run a nightly check for tiny steady flows, which catches running toilets and drips that a leak puck under the sink won't.
