I do not have multiple water sensors on my account, but the software interface is built to allow for the connection of multiple light bulbs, wall sockets, etc since each device has a unique MAC and IP Address. I would assume that you should be able to use multiple water sensors.

I tried connecting my device yesterday but then learned via the app that it needs 2.4GHz wireless network. Mine is 5 GHz. Are there other options or am I out of luck?

BEST ANSWER: out of luck then, it's 2.4 only. can you add a secondary wireless network? that's how mine is set up, i have a secondary 2.4 only network (similar to a guest network) named IOT, and all the devices that just need internet, but not LAN, are connected to that. for example my water sensors are on the IOT SSID, but my Sonos is on my primary home SSID

Most 5.0 GHz routers are "dual band", which means that they also broadcast at 2.4 GHz. To install these sensors (I have ~8, and I LOVE them) you need to temporarily turn the 5.0 GHZ signal off, then turn it back on once the initial installation is done.

As far as I can tell, it runs only on 2.4GHz. And while I certainly don't know your network as well as you do, it is very unusual to have a network that supports only 5GHz. Are you SURE you don't have a 2.4GHz signal as well as the 5?

I had a similar problem with mine. Your router may be dual band and 2.4 is turned off. It needs to be turned on or replace the router with a dual band router or add a second 2.4 router.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your comments. I agree if the water leak starts at the in-coming pipe, a water sensor placed near it where water would likely be detected would be best. If the space is too tight, you also have the option to attached the probe included to extend your reach in tight spaces.

this sensor does not detect water flow. it only detects water leaks in a specific location. ie. where sensor is placed and water gathers/puddles. you would need a sensor on the ground at each location you want to be alerted.

Water can leak from anywhere but especially at valves and devices. It can also simply come thru walls as ground water or flooding. I put mine near major water appliances and near where the floor slopes down and would collect therefore covering a couple appliances with one device. Also placed in “water rooms” bathrooms near sink/toilet or by dishwasher. Also put anywhere where water had collected in the past. But yes entry point of water could potentially be a large leak spice due to highest water pressure. But I’d guess most leaks come from faulty appliances.

On this page (Family Settings) select the add members put in the new phone number and set them as the administrator. I think they will then get a text that they can set an email address. They or you can then go in and remove the wrong phone number ie. Family member. If needed.

I could not find a way to change the email or cell phone number either. However, there appear to be two other options:
1. Add the new email and cell number as an additional Family Member in the Home Management -> Family settings section. Using this option the old email/cell number will still be notified, in addition to the new "family member".
2. Log out and re-register using the new email address and cell number, just as you did when you first registered your device.
Hope this helps.

Will I receive the push notification if I am away from home or does the phone have to be near the device for the notification to work?
BEST ANSWER: Text messages would not be sent to your mobile device; however, you can enable push notifications in the STITCH app to send an alert directly to your phone so you can be notified whenever water is detected.

You should be able to connect this through IFTTT to send you a text if you use the Smart Life app (or probably 100 other smart home apps). IE "If trigger, then SMS".

Can you use a ac adapter instead of batteries? Does it have a network plug or blue tooth ... In other words, how does it connect to internet to contact you when you are away?)

BEST ANSWER: The device is powered by batteries and cannot be connected to an AC adapter. To connect the device to your home network, power on the device and with the STITCH by Monoprice app, pair the device to your home's 2.4GHz Wifi network. When you are away, the device will provide a notification to your phone whenever water is detected.

It has an ultra low power co-processor so the battery will last a very long time if you don't play with it too much. It sits by doing nothing most of the time.

how many cell phones we can pair with this unit?
RAM
on Sep 11, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I believe you can use it anywhere on any mobile you would have to just make sure you are using the same STITCH account on the devices because it is associated with the STITCH account. I think it should work I personally have never tried it on multiple devices.

There is no point in receiving a notification of a leak if you are not home to stop the water flow. Can this thing be set up to send a command to an electric valve to turn the house water off when a leak is detected?

I had 2 of these devices and ordered two more. I cannot get the new ones to connect to my stitch app. I’m using Google WiFi mesh router, but, i was using that when I connected the others as well. I’ve tried using AP mode as well as automatic mode - anyone had any luck with mesh WiFi system? I know these are supposedly 2.4ghz only, however, the google-WiFi router allegedly has both 2.4 and 5 over the same SSID. Thanks for your help.

BEST ANSWER: It's been a while since I install my 2 but I didn't have any issues with my Google mesh wifi finding them. You are right the wifi does have both 2.4 and 5ghz and should detect whatever one is needed. Try rebooting your wifi. Also, maybe try adding it to "Works with Google" through your Google home app first.

I found that I needed to turn off 5 GHz broadcasting (i.e., leave on only 2.4 GHz) to set these up. Once set up I could turn the 5 GHz broadcasting. BTW, I use Netgear Orbi mesh routers.

Water sensor works, recommended software doesn't.
The sensor worked during my testing. However, the software that you're supposed to use with it (Stitch) is terrible and didn't work. A quick Internet search revealed that the device works with the Smart Life system. I already had that system in place for light switch control and it was easy to configure the water sensor with it. Don't bother downloading the a Stitch software!

The Right Sensor With the Right App
I found the Stitch app to have an incompatibility with random, complex, and long Wi-Fi passwords. The Smart Life app works very well and has a lot of settings, but may not be intuitive to most. Irregardless, the Smart Life app is the way to go with this device.
The 2.4 GHz restriction is no restriction for my purposes. I've found all my home automation devices work so much better on 2.4 GHz, since these devices are tucked into walls or behind furniture. 5 and 6 GHz signals don't fare well with interference like that, nor distances from the WAP. That's my experience in a crowded suburban Wi-Fi environment.
My home automation Wi-Fi network is isolated from my data network, such that any insecurity in this device will not affect my private data.
The app needs to function at all times, so recommend turning off app sleep for it in your phone's OS. The service's link to IFTTT is more than I can ask for.
Overall, these work better than my alarm system's water bugs, with more home automation capability. I wish it all could be integrated under one system, but the time is not right for that yet. And, perhaps it never should be...
