Pros & Cons
Pros
The proteus aquo works flawlessly. The web interface is beautiful and easy to use. Could not be happier with my purchase decision.
Sends notifications to phone and email. I like that it automatically reconnects to the wifi is the internet goes out. If we have to leave the house due to a power outage, i get another text and email when the sensor is again reachable.
The sensor cable runs to the water heater pan. There is a 1/8 cable (like a headphone jack/cable) that links the sensor to the receptacle. I keep a brick on the sensor so that it doesn't flop over.
Proteus is much faster alerting (in seconds vs minutes for honeywell) if my sump pit is on its way to filling up and overflowing, i want as many opportunities to find out as quickly as possible. I highly recommend doing this if you want to detect even... Read More
Your network still has both the 2. Ghz and 5ghz wifi. This is because you have “pods’ which i am told have makes my internet coverage a “mesh system”, thus it uses both bands. This requires you to add a secondary old 2.

Lied to and then ignored -- very classy. It only sends to email addresses, so in order to receive these as sms text messages, your mobile carrier must offer an email sms gateway.
Highlights
Quality
The sensor is designed well worked first time after an easy set up
Quality constructed product that does things no other sensors do
Out of an abundance of caution i bought one of these and 8 months later the washing machine flooded the basement
My inlaws have a sump pump in their basement but it has failed on more than one occasion and the basement ended up flooded
Price
Super affordable reliable solution for monitoring water leaks and alerting via email or text
More importantly theres a very affordably priced peruse premium service that will text email andor call you
This little gadget should remedy this problem for less than 100
Its not inexpensive and its not terribly impressive to look at in the photos
Shipping
Within fifteen seconds my cellphone received an email and a text message that read 34 proteus water sensor detected water34
I was able to send alerts to my verizon phone by sending alerts to email a my phone number vtext
I received it quickly and the setup took me a maximum of 10 minutes including the testing
I emailed the company and wow within an hour i had an email back with suggestions
Competitiveness
We have tried a few different wifi sensors and this is by far the best
I originally thought 100 was a lot of money for this but the fact that proteus does not charge a fee for monitoring makes it th... Read More
