Leak alerts are arguably less important for renters, but it’s something landlords might want to consider—although that raises the issue of how the sensors would connect to the internet.

Additional onboard sensors: Some leak sensors can also measure other environmental conditions that can lead to problems at their extremes, such as temperature (a frozen pipe can burst and cause catastrophic water damage) and humidity (excess moisture in the air can allow mold to grow). I have a genuine Rapport single case and this is inferior in every respect including absence of branding. After that, your Hub 360 will retain its connectivity to all your Hive devices as normal and you can continue to enjoy all the key features of the Hub 360.Built-in siren: Unless you plan to put the sensor far from where you might normally hear it, it’s helpful to have a siren onboard.
