How much water are you using a day?

I thought this was a cool product plus it's MODULAR.

What do you think?

P.S. This is not promotional, we just like modular stuff.

I find the idea of swappable components across various devices really cool but the principal device (the "water saver") is not that useful (for me) compared to what could be done, a box with various components left for you to create what you want and/or need.

Droppler honestly doesn't appeal to me.

Droppler is a modular water detector as they say. It can become a camera and a speaker. Now the camera has some nice functions but I doubt about the speaker. It might be a regular or good party speaker, but according to the price it feels safer to buy a cheap speaker for on the go.
For the camera I have nothing to complain of.
Still the water detector never detects the precise amount of water usage in the house. Think of the amount of water usage when you wash your clothes, or flush the toilet.
It is promoted as a water detector with some extra modular functions, still when it's used for something else, it loses it's primary function. In the same case you could've promoted it as camera with the water detector as extra function.

Right now I only told the cons of the product.
When more modules come it might become a great device, whatever it will become then

For now it's way too expencive for what you get.

When you ran into a problem, don't give up.
Most of the time a nice workaround will help you further.
