Flume 2 (<del>$200–270) straps onto your existing water meter — no plumber, 15 minutes — and watches whole-home flow from outside the pipe. Moen Flo (</del>$500–700 plus professional installation) cuts into your main line: it monitors flow, pressure, and temperature, and can shut the water off by itself. Phyn Plus (about $580 from Phyn or Home Depot, also pro-installed) is the same inline-plus-shutoff idea as Flo with different detection math. If you want detection and data, Flume; if you want the house to defend itself while you&rsquo;re on vacation, Flo or Phyn.</strong></p>
