A broadband internet connection is required for the Phyn Smart Water Assistant. This internet connection should be:
- Broadband speed, i.e. high-speed DSL, Fiber, Cable, Satellite, etc.
- “Always on”
- Available at the location where the Phyn device is installed
- Not on plan that is restricted by data caps or data throttling.**
**The Phyn Smart Water Assistant uploads approximately 140 Megabytes of data per day which equals about 4.2 Gigabytes of data per month. Phyn recommends a data upload speed of 5 Mbps or higher. An Internet connection using a Mobile Hotspot is not supported.
Mobile Hotspot connections are not “Always on”. After a power outage such connections do not reconnect and would leave the home unmonitored by Phyn.
