Yep, the Phyn Smart Water Assistant can definitely detect pinhole leaks. It's designed to keep an eye on your home's plumbing by tracking water use in real-time and sending you alerts if something seems off.
From what we've found, it does this by analyzing water pressure changes and comparing them to what's normal for your home. Besides pinhole leaks, it can help spot other issues like pipe bursts or toilet leaks.
If the Phyn notices something unusual, you'll get a notification through the Phyn app, so you can act quickly. Just keep in mind, though, it won't automatically shut off your water supply. You'll need to do that yourself once you get the alert.
For the Phyn to work best, it needs a solid Wi-Fi connection (it runs on a 2.4 GHz network). Some folks have mentioned problems if their house has older wiring, which might affect how well the device works. Good Wi-Fi coverage can really boost its ability to detect leaks.
There are reports of occasional connectivity hiccups, especially if your setup is all 5 GHz. So, it's a good idea to double-check that your home network is compatible.
All in all, the Phyn Smart Water Assistant seems like a handy tool to help catch plumbing problems early. Just remember, how well it works can depend on stuff like how old your house is and your network setup.
Making sure all the connectivity requirements are met can help you get the most out of it.
