We offer two data streaming plans: Basic and Premium. Both allow you to monitor your water usage, but they differ in data depth, alerting, and long-term visibility.
This article explains what each plan includes and how to decide which one is right for you.
Basic Data Streaming Plan (Included)
The Basic plan is included with every Bluebot (besides the Mini) and is designed for simple monitoring needs.
With the Basic plan, you can:
View your water usage in the Bluebot app
Stream usage data at standard intervals
Access up to 90 days of historical data
Set 1 alert per meter
Monitor up to 2 meters in the app
This plan works well if you:
Want basic visibility into water usage
Download or review your data at least once every few months
Only need a single alert (for example, a leak threshold)
Are monitoring one or two meters
Premium Data Streaming Plan (Subscription)
The Premium plan unlocks advanced monitoring, longer history, and additional alerts. It is billed annually, per meter.
With the Premium plan, you get:
Near real-time flow streaming (updates approximately every 2 seconds)
12 months of historical data
Multiple alerts per meter
Support for 3 or more meters in the app
More flexibility for tracking trends, seasonal usage, and system behavior over time
This plan is ideal if you:
Want continuous or near real-time visibility
Need multiple alerts (for example, leak detection + usage thresholds)
Monitor irrigation, multiple buildings, or multiple water zones
Want long-term data for analysis or billing comparisons
