Is the internet service, app-based control a requirement?

The app-based control is an optional addition to the FloLogic System and is not required to have a fully functioning device. The Legacy Control Panel enables operational functionality. The Legacy Control Panel can be connected to a home security central station for auto shutoff monitoring with or without a Connect Module. With the Connect Module and FloLogic app, you will have untethered intelligence, oversight and control of your plumbing system with no monthly monitoring or access fees.
