Setup - Moen Flo Detector

Before pairing your Moen Flo Detector, please make sure you’ve completed the following steps:

• Download the Flo by Moen app from App Store or Google Play
• Create your free User account
• Choose the appropriate location in your app’s side navigation tab
• Make sure your Moen Flo Detector is easily accessible

To start using your Moen Flo Detector, you’ll need to pair it to your local Wi-Fi through the Flo by Moen App. 

First, remove your Moen Flo Detector from the box and make sure you’re within range of your Wi-Fi router. Open the Flo by Moen App. Make sure you’ve selected the correct location if you have more than one. 

Then, select Add New Device, and add your Moen Flo Detector. Give your Moen Flo Detector a nickname. We recommend naming it with the location of where it will be placed for easy identification. 

Next, remove the Wall Mount from your Moen Flo Detector, then the top cover by twisting the Moen Flo Detector open. Remove the battery insulator to allow power to begin flowing through the Moen Flo Detector. When the Moen Flo Detector light begins blinking blue, it is ready to pair. If the light does not begin blinking blue after this step, press and hold the reset button located below the battery for 5 seconds to activate pairing mode. 

Once you’ve checked both boxes and hit Next, you’ll be ready to connect your phone to the Moen Flo Detector.

You may skip the following step if you are on an Android, as it will automatically connect to your device for you. For iPhones, open the Wi-Fi settings on your phone and connect to your Moen Flo Detector. Select FloDetector-xxxx on the Wi-Fi list, then return to the Flo by Moen App. Standby while the firmware updates. 

When the list of available Wi-Fi networks loads, choose your home Wi-Fi network and enter your Wi-Fi password. Wait a few minutes until pairing has completed. 

If you have a Moen Flo Shutoff and would like it to turn off your home’s water when the Moen Flo Detector senses water, you can choose that option next. 

Next, you’ll be able to customize your alert settings for humidity, room temperature, and battery level. You will receive alerts on your smartphone, via the Flo by Moen App, based on the thresholds you choose for these categories if you choose to enable them. 

Congratulations! Your Moen Flo Detector is ready for use. Place it in your desired location to begin leak Detection.

You may pair multiple Moen Flo Detectors to your account, along with the Moen Flo Shutoff for whole-home protection from leaks and water damage.
