Reviews for Droplet by Hydrific

Works great!
I don't write a lot of reviews but this product deserved one for sure. It was super easy to install and it was accurate. I tested it by filling up a 5 gallon bucket and it was pretty much spot on in its usage calculation. I have been a using a competitor's product for a while. That product was Called Flume. It detects water usage by connect to the water main's meter and it can sense the meter spinning. I had a number of issues with that solution like the battery dying, calibration issues, the device shifting. The Droplet solution much easier to install. There are no batteries to worry about and it installs more snug to the pipe. The Flume was also limited in the brand and type of water meter it would work with. In a nutshell, it would not work in my main house but did work in my cabin. The Droplet device will work everywhere

Droplet itself is great, app can be improved.
Just four days in after installing Droplet. App guidance to get started, pairing, integration with Home Assistant - all was super smooth. Now, using the app for a few days isn’t as great. First, the summaries - only faucets, toilets and showers are shown with major usage (such as washing machine) somehow grouped under toilets. Sure it’s in beta, but seems weird. Calibration - went through about 20L of water, 2L at a time as it kept reading 1.6-1.8L (and I checked my bucket scale with another cup. It just kept telling me to do it again and again instead of adjusting the calibration. Frustrating. Lastly, the tagging sometimes doesn’t work as the flow sometimes doesn’t show until 10-30 seconds later (empty graph that gets backfilled) and by that point the thing I wanted to tag is no longer running. Also, some guidance on tagging would be helpful - should I tag washing machine every time it adds a bit of water? Every time it flushes? What is that all used for anyways?
