I received this smart sprinkler controller for free as a replacement from Moen because they acquired my previous smart controller company, Control. I had been using Control with zero issues, from setup to usage since 2013. The first few steps of setup went according to plan. But as I approached the final setup stages, the instructions automatically brought me back to a troubleshooting step. I disconnected the controller from the wall but I didn’t have to do that because there were no issues with the setup. I just didn’t know that. When I tried to finish the setup, it wouldn’t allow me to. Luckily I had already connected to my wifi so I was ready to use the controller. However, I cannot use this as a smart controller because it won’t allow me to set up any schedules. When I go to the schedule setup, no zones come up. I’ve tried to fiddle with the settings but there is nothing for me to turn on to get the zones to come up. I am more than disappointed with this device. Moen is a national (global?) company but they can’t even get this right. My previous controller was created by a small company from Frisco, Texas. It is beyond frustrating that a company like Moen can’t do right what a tiny little company did seamlessly. The worst part is that since they now own my previous controller’s company, they won’t support that device by year end so I can’t even go back to my previous device. With an overall rating of 3.9 on the App Store, you would think they would have fixed the issues. I can’t be the only person having issues. It’s downright embarrassing for Moen.

Beautiful looking kitchen faucet, WiFi and for me, I use Alexa, the setup was easy and straight forward. Issues are the same as previous reviewer that I’m on the West coast and time stamps in the app are East coast times, 3 hrs ahead. Low flow/trickle is nonexistent. Even with the physical handle, the lowest flow seems like 20%, so it splashes everywhere. With the wave motion sensor or Alexa the water flow is only full throttle 100%. With the handle it can only go as low as say 20% but will only dispense cold water, no hot water at that rate of flow. Now if leave the handle in that position and you start using the wave motion or voice control it goes back to full 100% flow, despite the physical handle left at the lowest flow point. Also using 6 big size D batteries seems a bit much in today’s world but okay... otherwise the faucet is well crafted and water spots are not very evident and cleans easily. We had a cheaper Chinese brand before that said spotless stainless and it attracted fingerprints and water spot, could never get it to look clean again.

I had a Moen Flo installed a few weeks ago. It was immediately apparent that the app had not undergone appropriate testing or review. First, the temperature is reported as degrees Fahrenheit but the actual temperature reported is always below 32, so I can only assume that the temperature is actually reported in Celsius. The app frequently requires logging in again. It also has gaps in reporting water flow and pressure. The temperature reporting appears continuous, however, as an example, when I logged in yesterday, it showed 0 as the pressure got the past 4 days and zero usage over the same timeframe. This lack of reporting artificially lowers the average pressure and daily use and underreports the actual usage substantially, so if you are using this to monitor when filters need to be changed, it is not reliable. I also noticed that it was reporting no micro leaks yet it was showing 0.2 gpm of “other usage, with no leaks, no running toilets and no dripping sinks, this made me question the reliability of the data. This product has been on the market long enough to work out issues with the app. It was disappointing to say the least that I paid over $700 for this and I don’t know if the equipment is even working properly or if the app is complete garbage. I expected better from Moen and I hope that you will work to rectify these issues. The product is useless if it doesn’t work with the app.

The new app update from “Moen” to “Moen Flo” removed history and usage by device! This is what most of us utilized the most! It allowed you insight into how many gallons were used by a device at a specific time. This is critical detail in troubleshooting and managing water consumption!!! I spoke to Moen support and she said it was an unfortunate decision to remove this feature, and was done above her pay grade, but you can use a website link (for now) to get this detail. Even though the fixture type was not always accurate (and understandably so, it’s hard for this device to really know), but why take the predominant feature away from your offering on the app?!? I have been a huge advocate for this device and I have talked dozens of friends and family into buying them, but without this data integrated into the app I can no longer recommend spending this kind of money. While it will still detect a leak and shut off, it no longer provides invaluable data to manage water usage (right as we come into a summer that is one of the biggest droughts in decades). With the cost of water spiraling higher than ever, Moen is failing to help with water conservation by taking away data analysis. Moen Executives and Developers- PLEASE bring the history and usage by device back!!!
