Do the other systems have a flow meter to detect a leak? Has anyone use another Wi-Fi flow meter for to detect an early leak?
I’ve looked at a lot of videos and not sure which one to order!
Rachio installs in 10 minutes and everything is run with your phone. Uses weather station info for skip days. Works great $100 on sale sometime in Amazon.
