Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The HomeSitter Alarm is a multi-functional alarm dialer that is perfect for protecting any home whether it is a vacation property, rental, multi-unit home, or your primary home that needs protection while you are away or at work. This unit will call up to three telephone numbers to notify you if the temperature in the home gets too hot or too cold. (if your furnace or air conditioner fails) This can prevent burst/frozen pipes, water damage, and mildew. The unit comes with a water sensor to monitor leaky pipes, burst washing machine hoses, or over-flowing sump pumps. You will also be notified if upon a power outage which can affect appliances spoil freezers worth of food. This unit not only calls you, but also sounds an audible alarm for when you are home. This unit runs on regular power and requires 2-AA back-up batteries. (batteries not included) You will receive phone call notification if your batteries need replacing as well. This all-in-one home protection unit requires no installation and no monitoring fees. It comes with a one-year warranty from the manufacturer.

The Homesitter exceeded my expectations in every way. It called me a week after I installed it and advised me of a power failure. Later on it called again and told me there was a power failure and a low temperature condition. After going to the property and lighting an auxiliary heater, it called me to say that there was a power failure, but no temperature alarm. Finally it called to tell me that its batteries were getting low (power was still out). At one point I called the phone at the property to see if the answering machine would pick up. If it did, I would know that the power had been restored. To my surprise, the Homesitter answered and said there was a power failure.
The only negative is the wire on the water sensor is very short, but it does tell you what gauge wire to use to extend it. The supplied wire is not long enough to extend the water sensor to a basement sump while positioning the Homesitter unit in the house proper for temperature sensing.

I tested this product before going away on vacation. I poured a tiny amount of water on the sensor, and it dialed out IMMEDIATELY and sent a water alarm voice message. I also pulled the plug, and after an hour, it dialed out again and issued a power failure alarm. I like that you can call it remotely and get status.
My insurance company approves of this device, meaning I do not have to arrange for someone to come into the house every 24 hours when I am away on vacation. That alone saves a lot of troulbe for me.
My one complaint (4 stars instead of 5) is the audible alarm - it is not loud enough to hear unless you are standing right beside it. I don't care, because I bought it for the telephone alert, but if you are expecting the adible alarm to wake you in the middle of the night when basement starts flooding, it won't do the trick. If you don't care about that, then this is a great product.

This product was just the thing I was looking for for my rural second home. Set up and programming was not particularly easy, but I tested it and overall it seemed to be working fine. Unfortunately today, roughly a year after purchase, it sounded an alarm indicating water leakage. Thankfully I was onsite when this false alarm sounded; it would have been an embarrassing imposition to ask someone to check on the house only to discover that everything was fine. As far as I'm concerned this product is not reliable, and for such items reliability is paramount.

Excellent Device
Works great. Have it set to call my cell phone. Was worried about a power outage in freezing weather. No heat equals frozen pipes.

Nice Priduct
This is a well designed product. Its easy to setup and works well. The only thing that could be improved is the length of the wire on the water sensor. Its easy to make it longer .

This may seem minor but not to me. The specs say 36 inch wire on the water sensor. Nope, it's 34 and even less when connected. Read more
