Flo by Moen will No Longer Mistakenly Shut Off Water for Sprinklers

[@andyhofman6672]

Flo shut down my water during irrigation again this morning! I thought I was making a smart investment in my house by having my Flo by Moen device installed, but it is such a problem for me and I feel I have wasted a lot of money and now have water problems with my home as a result of having Flo by Moen!

Is this your first few times of the year using irrigation? It is one of the downsides on these systems--the startup of irrigation and pool refills can trip up these devices. Have you tried setting up a manual override?

Do you know if Mowen charges a subscription fee for access to the irrigation controller outside of your home network? I have Rainmachine and they’ve made changes now users need to pay a yearly fee in order to access the irrigation system if you are not connected to your home network so I’m looking to replace it with Moens controller.

I'll have to punt to customer service for this question. If this is a trend companies are moving towards maybe the person on the inside may be able to tell you what they have planned.

I have Moen Flo and it shuts off the valve about an hour after my Rachio3 controlled sprinkler system runs. It’s so annoying!

Springtime, when irrigation systems are turned back on, is hard for all these water detectors. Have you tried putting in a manual override? In your device settings under Advanced Features you can add a manual override for a certain period of time (along with other parameters) in FloSense. I walked through it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJPWkIp9ptt3mpo 🤞that helps!

Phyn needs to step it up

[@NoMoreLeaks]

It would be nice if Phyn expanded their ecosystem. However, it's more like a startup within the bigger pockets of Belkin, which is more technology centered (although Uponor was heavily involved and since sold their partnership back to Belkin). Flo was acquired by Moen and Moen certainly has the bigger pockets and geared towards water within the home. It's an interesting mix of who is backing who and where they stand in the marketplace.
