Flume is an American company founded after California's 2014 drought to make household water use visible. Its single product line is the Flume smart water monitor, a strap-on sensor that reads the existing residential water meter magnetically and relays usage to a Wi-Fi bridge indoors, so it needs no plumbing work. The app reports real-time consumption by fixture, sets budgets, and sends leak alerts for both catastrophic bursts and slow drips.
View FlumeUbiquiti is a US networking company whose smart home relevance comes from its UniFi platform, spanning Wi-Fi routers, mesh systems, switches, security cameras (UniFi Protect), video doorbells and access control. Its gear is prized by enthusiasts for high performance, a unified local-first UniFi OS interface and no mandatory subscriptions. A fast, reliable UniFi network is a popular backbone for larger smart homes, though the ecosystem leans prosumer rather than plug-and-play.
