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!


Highly recommend Rachio. Very easy to install. Weather monitoring and auto adjusting features are excellent. Remote operation and monitoring very easy and really good.

Replacement of old controller was a breeze.
