Am I the only one who was confused about what this device does?
The detector essentially does 3 things. Even the Quick Start Guide that comes with it doesn't explain them well, but the full manual is a little more helpful if you search for it online. Temperature and humidity are two of the things it senses. It looks at them once per hour no matter how you configure the device, and sleeps the rest of the time. Alert ranges and notifications are configured in the app. The device sends updates to the app 1, 2 or 3 times per day (your choice) which go on the graph you can view in the app. The temperature also sends an alert (you set up how who and how you want to get them) any time the set parameters are exceeded (e.g., if it drops to freezing) when it checks each hour. You cannot, BTW, view the current temperature or humidity, only what it was at the last update.
Water (flood) alerts are the third thing the detector does, separately from temperature and humidity. If it senses water it will sound a 100 dBA local alarm (which unfortunately cannot be disabled, though it can be silenced), and will send you any push alerts you have set up. These alerts should only take up to a minute to come through, according to their literature.
Setup was easy. Download a phone app. It helps you connect to your wifi and it manages the device. After setup the device itself will actually only communicate via wifi. You access the device via your phone app. BTW, when putting in the batteries you will see a faint "batteries" label in one corner on the bottom of the base. Rather than "prying" off, it is actually a soft plastic base that peels off once you get it started.
As others have mentioned, there is a seal on the box stating "Professional Installation Only" if you want the full 5 year warranty. Since "installation" means installing batteries and setting it on the floor (or optionally plugging in the included cable) this restriction is a little irritating but "oh, well."
Having just set this up I don't know yet how well it reports or remains connected. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I will report back if anything goes amiss.

Works great but this ridiculousness regarding warranty only if professionally installed is disappointing.
