A smart home water monitor not only lets you monitor your water usage from an app and view insights – it can alert you to small plumbing leaks before they turn into big, expensive nightmares.

Smart home water monitors must connect to Wi-Fi.

Customers can apply for one per account.

• Rain sensor (wired): up to $15
• Rain sensor (wireless): up to $35
• Soil moisture sensor: up to $50
