⚠ Similar names, different products: ⚠ StreamLabs sells THREE differently-priced products under one family name on one storefront — Scout ($129, a point sensor), Monitor ($389, this record, whole-home usage + leak alerts, no shutoff), and Control ($999, adds an automatic shutoff valve) — and a buyer skimming the name alone can land on the wrong one. ⚠ 'StreamLabs' is also unrelated to the identically-spelled live-streaming software company Streamlabs (streamlabs.com, owned by Logitech), which dominates a plain web search for the name.

StreamLabs' FAQ states 'StreamLabs products currently work with Google Home' but documents no capability detail beyond that on the FAQ itself; other StreamLabs material describes a voice-set home/away mode toggle via Google Assistant. Recorded partial because a real, named integration exists but no source establishes it carries leak or usage-alert push notifications the way the app does — assume voice/away-mode convenience, not a notification channel, until confirmed otherwise.[2]

Home Assistant ships this integration itself, and it works through StreamLabs' servers rather than over your own network. Home Assistant's own documentation lists daily, monthly and yearly water-usage sensors plus away-mode status and control. The real limit is not the integration but the account underneath it: Home Assistant states that outside access to StreamLabs' water data is not free and needs a StreamPlus subscription level that enables it, and the access key has to be requested from StreamLabs directly rather than granted by signing in. So the integration is real and reasonably capable, and it is paywalled one layer above the device.[5][10]

Deliberately empty actions: no shutoff valve exists on this SKU (that's the $999 'Control' product), so this device measures and reports rather than actuates — a leak here ends in an alert, not an intervention. The home/away mode toggle StreamLabs and its Home Assistant integration both expose has no matching term in the capability vocabulary and is recorded in prose (integrations catches) rather than claimed structurally.
Listed device functions are established from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished, not necessarily absent.

Plans and ongoing costs[2][3]
◐ Works without a subscription: Yes. The maker also sells an optional paid plan.
- Free: Real-time push leak alerts (leaks as small as 0.25 GPM), Drip Detect alerts, Smart Alerts learning mode, Water usage charts — current day/month/year, Up to 2 monitored locations, up to 5 Scouts per location, Last 3 alerts in history
Vendor account required: Yes — you must create a vendor account to use it.[2]
The free 'Standard' plan is not a stripped demo — StreamLabs' own plan-comparison page shows it includes the same core leak detection, Smart Alerts and Drip Detect features as the paid tier, and push notifications work on both. The $5.99/mo or $59/yr 'StreamPlus' tier adds email and text notification channels (Standard is push-only), more locations and Scouts, and up to 2 years of history instead of the last 3 alerts. ⚠ ONE REAL GATE: Home Assistant's official integration documents that outside access to StreamLabs' water data is itself not free and needs a StreamPlus subscription level that enables it — so the app experience is fully free, and letting anything outside the StreamLabs app read or control the device is not.
Maintenance and offline use
- Batteries:
- Works without the internet: No — the core function depends on the vendor's servers, so an outage takes it with them.[1]
- Mains-powered via an included universal power supply (100–240VAC in, 5.9V/0.6A out) on a 10-foot cord, with 25 ft and 50 ft extension cables sold separately — not battery-run, so there is no battery-life figure to record. Attaches externally to an existing straight, uninterrupted pipe run (minimum 5 inches) with included zip-ties; no cutting or plumbing. Fits 3/4" and 1" CTS pipe in copper (Types M & L), PEX and CPVC. Indoor use only; rated water-temperature range 40–80°F, max operating pressure 232 psi.
- Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether StreamLabs publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
Who it's for
A household that wants whole-home leak and usage visibility without cutting into a pipe or hiring a plumber — it clips onto an existing straight run of copper, PEX or CPVC with zip-ties and reads flow acoustically. Good fit for renters or anyone who wants to try monitoring before committing to a shutoff-valve install. Look elsewhere if you want the water physically shut off on a leak (StreamLabs' own Control, or a dedicated shutoff-valve product, does that — this one doesn't) or if Apple Home, SmartThings, or a live Alexa integration matters today. Home Assistant households can get real usage sensors and away-mode control, but only by paying for StreamPlus.
