Minor Setup Problem I had

I'm an retired electronics technician and had hard time working with my phone's ability to read the QR codes. However, when it worked, it just about set itself up with no additional programming. A great feature is that it sends the alarm signal to the app on your cellphone so you are notified even if your not home. Note: When testing it out with water, I did it outside since the alarm has a ear piercing volume, and I have cats in my home.

Good product

Connects to wifi and a phone app, for immediate notification of a flood. Remote monitoring in real time is why I bought this, to hopefully avoid or reduce property damage in the event of a leak. Hopefully I’ll never need to use this but it’s nice peace of mind. Battery level and wifi signal strength also shows on the phone app.

Works well easy set up

This item started and paired quickly. Tested it twice before putting it behind our washer dryer combo unit. Uses two alkaline batteries included. Note this unit looks like a few less expensive ones I had to return because they were unreliable.

Functional

I like that I can check the status on my phone. I have two and the only thing that needs to change is the interface on the app. If you have more then one u have to go clicking to see the other device and if u didn’t know any better u might think it’s not hooked up

Works well and I trust it!!

I like the device and I get the floor temperature also but the app is lacking, I want a report a few times a day it seems to communicate only once every 24 hours when normal, I would like more adjustments and latitude. Please improve the app and less advertisements!

Maybe it works.

The item's original packaging looked shop-worn like it had been sitting around somewhere in strong sunlight. However, it was sealed and its enclosed AA batteries were in their original packaging and worked. The unit was bothersome to connect to my cell phone, It tests OK when tried in a test puddle of water so I hope it will alert me if my HWH starts leaking.

Problems with the Kidde app

There are problems with changing the email address in the app. Once you try to change it the app gets stuck on the "Add Property" screen and will not go past this point. A message appears stating "Something went wrong, please try again". I contacted Kidde support but the issue has not been resolved. In order to use the app I had to shut off wifi then turn it back on, then log in using the old email address.

Can’t remotely control

Once it gets below 39° it won’t tell me what the temperature is. It goes into alarm repeatedly and cannot be silenced permanently remotely so now it’s making noise and bothering my neighbors because I can’t get to that house right away. .KiddeEngineers didn’t think this one through
