WaveLink – Smart Dock System for Dock Owners to monitor freshwater docks and the surrounding waterscape. The WaveLink system consists of two parts: - WaveLink Hub - WaveLink App **WaveLink Hub** The WaveLink Hub uses patented technology to detect electricity in water throughout the swimming area. Visual and audible alerts on the Hub notify people on the dock and in the water of dangerous conditions. **WaveLink App** The WaveLink app provides direct access to your dock from anywhere. You can get alerts about dangerous conditions, get atmospheric and water condition information, review catalogued data, and more. The dashboard is the main screen of the app, where you can view the status of the water as reported by your WaveLink hub (Safe, Warning or Alert) and review any shock events that have occurred. From this dashboard you will also be able to see - Air Temperature - Humidity Level - Barometric Pressure - Water Temperature and Clarity So, if you want to know if it’s a good day to go fishing, take a swim, pull the boat out or even just lay out on the dock, one glance at the WaveLink app dashboard is all you need! A detailed news section is also available on the WaveLink app which is being updated regularly to provide you with all the information you need to know when enjoying your time at the lake. Articles on the site include - Tips to Get Your Dock Ready - Water Safety - How to Prevent Electric Shock Drowning

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WaveLink Secure at 5.0 against Luma View's 2.1. WaveLink Secure also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Luma View's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
