Away Mode is a feature that can be enabled on Phyn App v. 4.6.1 or higher. Away Mode makes the Phyn Plus very sensitive and it will alert you if it notices any unexpected water usage activity. It’s perfect for when you are out of town and there should be no ongoing water usage at your home. Note: If you enable Away Mode and also enable Auto Shutoff, be aware that if you have any appliances or fixtures that use water continuously for 1 minute or longer, such as whole home humidifiers, the Phyn Plus will detect that water usage, send you an alert and shut off your water.
