I've had the Guardian KGLPS1-1 for almost a year now. It came with one sensor that I have hooked up to the water heater. I still can't tell you a year later if this is even working properly or connected to my internet. I have read my email updates and attempted multiple times to get it working properly though the app. What a P.O.S. It won't connect to my internet (I do understand technology a bit) and now the app won't let me back in, after I erased the controller to add a new one. DON'T BUY!

I had great hope at time of purchase, in spite of many negative reviews I had read. The heart of the system (the valve controller) is sturdy and has good ergonomics overall; however problems start as soon as you try to set it up via the app. The app is horrible (as described by so many other reviewers in this thread). The iOS version is not any better than the Android version — I tried them both. I’m in IT and know what I’m talking about; this is not an uneducated opinion.

Read all the review thought might get lucky. Well I did not. Got connected to the controller and calibrated no problem. App requested to upgrade firmware did not work multiple times. Ok I gave up since it was working I decided to add sensors. As soon as I put the drop of water the sensor started beeping but the controller went offline and I am stuck as I tried to replicate the install with no luck. 4/24/20 installed new app on a replacement device no luck. DO NOT BUY RETURN IMMEDIATELY.

1. app has bugs. since mar5, 2019 android no longer works on my tablet. 2. issues with firmware update. am running a mesh network. disconnecting two of the nodes, firmware updated after that. then reconnected nodes. controller only appears to communicate with primary router and not nodes. 3. guardian app still works on iPhone 6 4. it would appear that if you reinstall the app, you have to reset the controller. this should be fixed. a pain if you install the app on another device.

I want to give up on this product. I have had issues with never-ending firmware update. It was resolved with app update. The vendor support has been great but this feels like a beta product. I changed to a new router and needed to change the network. Now it will not connect to any Wi-Fi network. Just like the other review it is an expensive paperweight. I've spent hours reconnecting sensors and reinstall my apps and trying connection on different phones.i am extremely frustrated.

App works but new one under development. Product is excellent. Water detector will detect 2 drops. It is capable of detecting 1 drop but the viscosity of water is high enough that one drop might not move to short the contacts. But hey, 2 drops is excellent. Valve works flawlessly and shuts off house water. Just what i need.
