Eve Water Guard vs Flume 2 Smart Water Monitor

The Eve Water Guard wins on price, owner rating, and having a loud on-device siren and light. The Flume 2 Smart Water Monitor answers with wider integrations, adding Alexa and Google Home support alongside Home Assistant, plus a low-battery alert the Eve Water Guard lacks.

How each one covers ground. The Eve Water Guard uses an extendable sensing cable, up to 490 ft, to watch a long run behind appliances instead of a single point. The Flume 2 Smart Water Monitor reads your whole-house water meter, catching a leak anywhere on the property, even ones that never reach a floor.

No, neither does in the way a typical puck sensor does. The Eve Water Guard is wired for constant wall power. The Flume 2 Smart Water Monitor's meter sensor runs on a battery pack, but the indoor bridge that relays its readings plugs into mains power.

The Eve Water Guard does, natively, along with Thread connectivity (a Thread Border Router is required) and Home Assistant. The Flume 2 Smart Water Monitor has no Apple HomeKit support, but works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home instead.

Apple HomeKit and Thread households near a wall outlet who want one sensor covering a long appliance run, like a kitchen or laundry area, with a loud, reliable local alarm.

Buyers who want to catch a leak anywhere on the property, not just along one wired run, and who want that protection tied into Alexa or Google Home rather than Apple HomeKit.
