You can improve how accurately Phyn identifies fixtures by reviewing and providing feedback on water usage events in the Water Use Plus section of the Phyn app.
Phyn uses this feedback to learn your home’s unique water patterns and improve accuracy over time.
Confirm or correct water usage events
When reviewing your water activity in Water Use Plus:
If Phyn correctly identified an event (for example, a shower you know you took), tap the Phyn logo next to the event to confirm it.
The Phyn logo will appear highlighted in your Water Log, indicating the event was validated.
If Phyn identified the event incorrectly, tap the event and select the correct fixture.
A person icon will appear next to the event, showing that you provided manual feedback.
How much feedback is needed?
It typically takes 5–10 confirmations or corrections for Phyn to begin adapting to a specific fixture
As Phyn continues learning across more homes and events, it often requires less feedback (3–5 times) to improve accuracy
Improve identification of individual fixtures
If you want Phyn to distinguish between similar fixtures (such as multiple showers or sinks), you can label them more specifically.
For example:
Change a fixture name to include the room or location, such as Master Shower or Guest Bath Sink
Providing consistent labels for individual fixtures helps Phyn learn the unique patterns of each one. As with general fixture identification, it may take 5–10 labeled events for Phyn to reliably recognize them.
The more feedback you provide, the faster Phyn learns—and the more accurate your fixture-level water insights become.
