What can the Water Flow Sensor detect?
It reports litres-per-minute flow rates and total volume used, and can alert you to leaks, blockages or abnormal usage.
Do I need a separate device for each pipe or flow point?
Yes, each pipe or flow point being monitored requires its own sensor, connected to a compatible Farmbot Monitor.
Can it detect slow leaks or sudden breaks?
Yes. You can set custom thresholds for both low and high flow alerts, making it easy to spot small leaks or major pipe failures early.
Where can I access the flow data?
All real-time and historical flow data is viewable via MyFarmbot, which also supports CSV exports for reporting.

Highly recommend!

Farmbot’s are all doing their job quite well. They recently alerted us to an issue on a lease block which we could resolve immediately – otherwise it could have been several days before we were back to check
