Sensors have worked out pretty well so far. Setup was pretty simple. Tested each of the three sensors with a wet cloth and it was able to detect moisture and send an alert to my phone. The app itself is OK, but not as intuitive as I would like. If you look at the video describing the sensors, it shows that it will report the current status and battery within the app. I was originally looking at Settings/Devices but it wasn’t there. You have to go to the Home page and click the part in fine print in the upper part of the screen that says ‘Active Devices Flood Sensor’.
It is a nice compact sensor that fits inconspicuously under a refrigerator, sink, washing machine, etc. I did get an alert once when it detected water from an ice cube that melted. So in this instance, the sensor did its job and did it quite well. During this situation I lost the WiFi connection for the sensor under the refrigerator and didn’t see an easy way to reconnect it back to the network. So I had to select Deauthorize Device and do the setup again for that one sensor. If I lost network connection from just a bit of water from an ice cube, I don’t have a sense on whether the sensor would continue to function during a major leak. Overall, having leak sensors in general that are reliable are money well spent.

Simple and easy installation once I found the best place to install the hub so it could communicate with each other. One review claimed that it doesn’t provide much information, however talking with their customer service, there is a way to get much more detailed information from each sensor (I had to change the upper temp limit on one of the sensors).
For the price, I would purchase them again.

So far I have no complaints about this product. It was very easy to set up and I do like the information that each sensor displays along with high and low temperature alerts current temperature and alarm status. I was able to place my hub in pretty close proximity to my sensors so I’m not sure if you had to span further distance whether that would be an issue or not. So far I’m very happy with it and would buy additional ones if needed.

I bought the starter set of 3 flood sensors and it took just 10 minutes to set them up. I put one in the sink to test them out and as soon as I turned on the water I received a text and email alert informing me that the specific sensor went off. I have since added 5 more sensors to cover all toilets, dishwasher, water heater and washing machine. I did have 2 sensors cut in and out but the tech team gave great guidance to quickly reset them and reposition the hub. Great product!

love the little discs, do not like the required hub. The hub uses blue tooth which has poor reception and limited locations because the sensors keep losing connectivity. I cant stand taking up plug receptacles with hubs.

I purchased the 3 pack of water sensors. Setup is very simple and easy with additional request for min max temperature. Drawbacks are that the sensors do not show much information unless they go off. When viewing from the app you only see the last time sync’d, MAC address and firmware and hardware versions. I have a couple of other sensors from a different vendor that include WiFi signal strength, battery life, current temperature and humidity which is a bit more functional than these.

these were easy to set up and connect to my home network. I love having one app for both my sprinkler system and my new flood sensors. My one issue would be the signal strength from the base wall unit to the sensors. I get q lost connection alert every few days, which has always reconnected quickly on its own. I am confident that even with this one issue that they will alert me of any water entering my basement or leaking from my washing machine. P

I got the 3pack and installed it very easily. I liked it enough that I ordered the 8 pack for a second home. However everything Orbit does assumes you are buying or getting support on irrigation products. Try to find B-Hyve on their site. They have the worst website that I’ve seen in years. I think someone’s kid built it. Customer support phone number also assumes you are calling about irrigation products. The irrigation customer support has no idea what B-Hyve is or how it works. The app is in the same category. Lots of features could be added, but it is a very basic app. Finally, I find it amazing that they had their initial announcement and sale, but then were out of stock for reorders for days. This company needs real product managers.

Easy set up however the jury is still out as to whether they will stand the test of time.

Product was easy to setup. I lost connectivity to the sensors but I believe it was a problem on my end. They came back online by themselves.

So, don’t test these sensors, because if they get wet, they die. They aren’t sealed. It’s insane.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your review. If I understand correctly, your Flood sensor no longer works. I am so sorry to hear this. Please feel free to reach out to us regarding this! The sensors will work if submerged and you will be notified of a leak event, but it should be replaced with a new unit once the area is dry. They are reusable after a leak and should be removed from any water as soon as possible following a detected leak, and dried. However, with being submerged, you will need to replace the flood sensor. You can contact us via SMS (801) 905-8260 or call (800) 488-6156 if you would like to further discuss.

Love the sensor size and quick response time! Purchased the 3 pk/hub and the 5 pk since the website wouldn’t allow purchase of 8 pack/hub. This made setup a little challenging since there’s a process required to 1st setup the 3/hub and then add the 5 pk. Overall setup is relatively simple although I’ve had several occasions where the sensor’s dropped off the network and have owned the system for a couple months.
Notification only produces a very low db sound that would not alert someone leaving you dependent on the phone app. I’m attempting to figure out a way to have my phone alert me ONLY when receiving the email alert notice from orbit and to override silent/vibrate mode with an audible tone.
The app has a bug showing Celsius although the numbers actually are Fahrenheit. Customer support has been easy to reach via text and say they are working the issue.
I’m also using the sensors in my freezer and they work great! The orbit engineers didn’t recommend this functionality but it has been working great. Am also monitoring the HVAC drip pans in the attic for flood and temp(they have also dropped off the network 3-4 times in the past couple months and are then automatically picked back up after a period of time)
OVERALL: A great sensor but needs better notification. I hope there’s an upgrade that includes this function without current users having to buy more sensors since they are already expensive.

Easy enough setup but not sure the advertised WiFi range means anything. Had to move the base station around to get all sensors to function. Furthest sensor was about 30 feet away before the relocation. I would really like to see a way this product gives you an audible alarm and even a text message. Seeing that something happened earlier in the day is not very useful. Product should make an immediate succinct alert.
