### 2/5 — Login Session Expires

*2022-03-28, version 3.1.9*

Works well when login doesn’t expire. I test the leak detector sensor once every 4 months. By that time the app has automatically logged me out not allowing a notification to go through. So In turn if I actually had a leak I would not know about it. Rendering the purpose of this device useless.

### 2/5 — App does not send alerts for smart plug for sump pump

*2020-12-07, version 3.1.6*

The app installed and I was able to install the smart plug for sump pump without an issue. However, setting up the sump pump gallon flow rate doesn’t work, and it does not push notifications to device running the app. Customer service (China) suggested I uninstall and re-install until it works. Tried 2x knowing it was a waste of time. Definitely a bug in the app for the Smart Plug for Sump Pump. I will be returning it.

### 1/5 — It’s awful

*2020-11-28, version 3.1.6*

No notification and alarm received from the phone

### 3/5 — Good so far

*2020-08-18, version 3.1.6*

Small problem with connectivity- seems after a month or two I get kicked off the app & subsequent notifications, which is why I have the app in the first place.  Maybe a fix there would help....

### 4/5 — Great Product

*2020-03-29, version 3.1.5*

I just received the kit with 3-sensors today. Installation and Setup was easy and fast. Notifications work fine when motion is detected and all units seem to be working properly. My only gripes are a) one of the sensor’s batteries are at 1/2 power, even though they were included with the sensor as new and the protective contact paper was intact until setup, and b) it would be ideal for your company to offer a text messaging notification service as an add-on option. This way if a person has their phone on silent mode, they can setup the sending number for the text messages as an Emergency Contact and force the Sound Notification. Considering a would-be burglar will likely trigger the sensors after dark, and possibly when the home owner is sleeping and has their phone on silent mode or Do Not Disturb, the text as an Emergency Contact will trigger a sound and wake the person.

### 4/5 — It is good but can get better

*2019-09-24, version 3.0.9*

It is a good product detecting leaks and sending notifications to my iPhone.  I am not sure why has the «battery” monitoring option.  This does not work.  Please work on that.

### 4/5 — Took some time

*2019-09-01, version 3.0.9*

I am happy with the items I now have and the way they work..   it took a little while to sort as the instructions were written in very small text.   But I managed

### 4/5 — Water sensor

*2019-07-24, version 3.0.9*

Lets you know in real time water back up save time and money and damage  . It’s an inexpensive way to let you know there is an actually  water leak. Whether it be freshwater or back up sewage.

### 1/5 — Plugs are not connecting and the one plugs stop working entirely

*2019-07-15, version 3.0.9*

Did not work the I ordered 2 of your smart plugs and both of the smart plugs said fail to connect and then one of your smart plugs just stopped working needs to fix problems or give more explanation to fix

### 4/5 — Low cost great results

*2019-06-25, version 3.0.9*

Works great so far. Even got an alert for dew from humidity.

### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work

*2019-03-21, version 3.0.0*

This is useless if notifications don’t work!

### 1/5 — App deleted my account

*2026-03-27, version 3.2.8*

App deleted my account, says it doesn’t even recognize my email, so I have no way to connect to the floodlight anymore.

### 1/5 — Be wary

*2024-09-23, version 3.2.3*

Id be very wary using this any place that matters.  If you don’t constantly make the the app is connected and open you will not get warnings on your phone. I often get logged out and have to relogin to the app.  I’m literally to the point that I have a reminder to tell me to test it every 2 weeks

Just tested and when it got wet it never sent any notices to the phone.  Opened the app and it said water leak detected

The idea is great but the execution between devices is useless

### 1/5 — Garbage. Flooded basement no notification

*2023-05-07, version 3.2.0*

Our basement flooded and we received no notification.  I have a mesh system with 2.4 and 5 GHz and the extender is 20 feet from 3 of them and the app say poor service connection.  Battery shows full but when I put them in water I get no alert or alarm.  When I opened the app, the updates must have disconnected me from their service because I had to approve several changes for anything to come up.  I have invested around $100 in these and have zero faith in them!!!
Customer Support, Can I return these? Can you pay me for new carpeting?

### 1/5 — All data lost and now cannot configure products

*2023-03-19, version 3.2.0*

Bought about a dozen plugs which have all worked fine. Went to recently add a plug and all data on app has disappeared and have spent almost an hour trying to initialise one plug. Fear now all products need to be thrown out as cannot get anything to work. Avoid. Zero help online for these products.

### 1/5 — This product is not recommended

*2023-01-06, version 3.2.0*

The product along with product support does not work. Connectivity and email support does not meet expectations. I’m fact, the email provided for support bounces back. Stay away from the app and their products.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work under IPad IOS 16.1

*2022-10-26, version 3.1.9*

Works fine for iPad 15.7.  But under 16.1 it only works by logging out and logging back in.  Amateur code.

### 1/5 — poor instructions

*2022-07-02, version 3.1.9*

No instructions on how to connect to a network or see which network it is connected to.

### 1/5 — Does NOT work!

*2022-04-07, version 3.1.9*

I had two water sensors set up in my basement- one next to the sump pump and one under the water heater. 

Our sump pump just failed and flooded the basement. Both sensors were sitting in water and neither alerted me. 

After the flood,  I checked the app and it said both sensors were functioning and battery power was good on both. 

Just deleted the app and threw out the sensors- total garbage!!!!

### 1/5 — Non-existent customer service

*2021-06-27, version 3.1.6*

Wasserstein has no customer service phone number. The website offers a Live Chat feature, but it is routed through Facebook (which some of want to avoid), and once you get there, the “live” site says that you will respond within 24 hours. When I sent my queries to the email address, I received back instructions that bore no resemblance to the iOS version of the app. Really, if you something doesn’t work with a Wasserstein device, you are completely on your own!

### 1/5 — App does not work or have option for window vibration sensor

*2021-01-23, version 3.1.6*

App does not work and tech support is non responsive

### 5/5 — Home Security

*2022-10-02, version 3.1.9*

Works Great,,,so nice to have a system to monitor your home…

### 5/5 — Downgrade?

*2021-08-26, version 3.1.6*

I’ve been crawling under furniture replugging lamps that were operating just fine until the “update.”  The arrangement seems to have gone back in time a few years, and I’m super frustrated.

### 5/5 — Damage averted

*2021-08-25, version 3.1.6*

Recently received notice of water.  Found ac drain was plugged.  Suctioned out drain.  Only small puddle to clean up.

### 5/5 — No notifications

*2020-11-29, version 3.1.6*

There is no sound notification it stoped to send sound alarm issue with the app fix it please

### 5/5 — Amazing ...

*2020-09-29, version 3.1.6*

Still is it working good and the battery long live more a year.

### 5/5 — Easy setup

*2020-05-13, version 3.1.5*

Took two times to get lights to flash rapidly and then it was really easy to setup all the sensors and name them. Thx

### 5/5 — Outstanding Product

*2020-04-29, version 3.1.5*

Had an issue in bathroom and got water damage so bought this product for early detection. Tested the device and very happy with results and quick response to my phone.

### 5/5 — Good product

*2019-11-30, version 3.1.2*

They work as they should. 
You need to set up automation in order to turn water off.
Side note if you loose power it won’t turn the water off unless you put power supply on battery backup. Also if not the power goes out then back on the water valve will turn water off. Just FYI. I love the system. You can also schedule times to turn water off and on if you have a summer home. Or just use the app.

### 5/5 — Extra protection

*2019-03-09, version 3.0.0*

Great device use them in my crawl space gives me a sense of confidence that my crawl space is staying dry.

### 5/5 — Gerard

*2019-01-31, version 3.0.0*

Setup ok but did not connect to router no matter how close it is to router.
