[APP][Pro] - Aquaro Smart Water Monitor - The Easiest Way to Save Water, One Drop at a Time

Aquaro Smart Water Monitor | Homey

The Aquaro app integrates your Aquaro Smart Water Monitor with Homey, enabling real-time monitoring of water flow and consumption.

Features: • View live water flow rate in liters per minute. • Track cumulative water usage in cubic meters. • Receive instant water leak alarms. • Monitor sensor battery level and wireless signal (RSSI). • Adjustable calibration for accurate readings. • Set a minimum flow threshold to avoid counting small drips.

Optional - install fantastic app Power By the Hour to get detailed water usage statistic

HOW TO SETUP :

• install Aquaro HUB and sensor, according to the vendor instructions
• in the Aquaro mobile app set in the Settings –> Homes –> your home –> MQTT Homey Assistant Integration - that one shall point to your MQTT Server (external or eg. MQTT-Broker or MQTT-Server by Athom running on your Homey)
• you must have MQTT Client installed, which is connected to the MQTT Server (eg. MQTT-Client)
• then add new device, after installing Aquaro Smart Water Monitor app

Please note :

• AI analysis of the consumption is not implemented as of 02/2026 by Aquaro

• if battery state of the sensor is not available, it’s issue with the sensor - verify using another MQTT Client which kind of messages are being sent by the sensor

• some of the previous sensors were reporting incorrectly cumulative reading of the water consumption, for adjustment of this behavior, see Sensor settings :

  

• in case you will need to replace your sensor, you can easily change the Aquaro Device ID

• in the setting, you can set also the current meter value / actual consumption

• first batches of sensors were not able to correctly detect ZERO flow, so that’s why I have implemented minimal flow and duration, for which the consumption will start counting (if you don’t have such issues, simply reset that to 0)
  

  

• I have my sensor installed aprox. 10m away in 3 meter deep concrete inspection chamber and even the RSSI is weak (lowest -86dBm, best -81dBm), it works quite well
