Customer Reviews

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.

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.
