+A water flow monitor does not replace the need for leak/moisture sensors placed in strategic locations around your home. If a leak is due to a failure of an appliance (e.g. leaky hose under the sink that only occurs when the faucet is turned on or a sudden failure of a rusty water heater), or water infiltration from outside, a water flow sensor (and this integration) will not detect that. It is best suited for wasted water scenarios (e.g. faucet left on, toilet flapper not sealing) or burst pipes (e.g. outside hoses, pipes behind walls) where you cannot practically place a leak/moisture sensor.
