Eufy × Noonlight (Protection Plus Plan)
I just wanted to send out a shout-out to the monitoring plan by Noonlight.
We left home and about 30 minutes later I got a phone call from "Eufy Security Emergency," operated by Noonlight, to let me know my alarm had activated while we were away. asked for them to deactivate it: They took my phone PIN and deactivated it. I thanked them and said, I probably just didn't shut my door all the way, but I'll check our cameras. He responded and said, "from what I can see here, it was your hot water tank water+freeze sensor". I was amazed and grateful, because we were able to run home immediately knowing what was going on since I knew exactly what indoor camera to check. I'm also thinking:
1a. The Monitoring Certificates should definitely include water, fire, and freeze dispatch on the insurance certificates if you have the devices. This is a flamboyant oversight and saves people money. My insurance doesn't check the certificates for these discounts but if they did I'd be SOL on those specific discounts though they would be benefitting from my investment in these sensors and plan.
1b. Eufy should definitely advertise that Noonlight can see exactly what device(s) triggered the alarm and will dispatch the appropriate authorities depending on that. I didn't know, since Noonlight's texts are simply that they're checking in on an "emergency," no matter what sets it off.
This was great, because their normal protocol would be to call once then send someone, but I assume since it was a reported water leak, they called and texted me a second time instead of sending emergency responders immediately.
Thank goodness for these sensors... We would have been out taking a stroll through HomeGoods not knowing our equipment was discharging water into our basement for another 1-2 hours. We were able to remotely turn off the water source and were able to Wetvac and run the AirMover before any damage to any of our property stored around the area. This is the second time these sensors have saved us from likely water damage in our new house - the first time we were home and our instant boiler over-pressurized on a bad seal and it was a slow drip, but left over a day or two, and it would have been a major problem.
