GoveeLife Upgraded Smart Water Leak Detector 1s with High Alarm, 5 Pack

Easy set up and link to network. Piercingly loud alarm locally when water is present and also sends texts to your phone immediately upon detection of water. App is easy to use and intuitive. I installed 5 of these discretely throughout the home, unfortunately AFTER a back up into basement of the house that caused $25k in damage. Highly recommend these units.

These little leak detectors have already earned their place in my house. Setup was intuitive. All but one of the sensors connected to the network without any issues; the last one just needed the battery removed and reinserted before it connected. I bought them after having a few different water-related adventures. One of our bathroom faucets has separate hot and cold handles, and apparently it's surprisingly easy to leave it dripping just a tiny bit. The problem is that the water doesn't necessarily drip into the sink — it can run down the spout and across the countertop. Leave that happening overnight, and eventually you're looking at damaged paint, drywall, and baseboards. Exactly the kind of home project I don't need more of. I placed one of these sensors on the countertop in that bathroom so it will alert me if water makes it all the way to the corner. I also have them near the dishwashers, because I run those overnight and discovering a puddle with bare feet first thing in the morning is not my idea of a good start to the day. I've now outfitted all of our bathrooms and the wet bar. We even managed to test one accidentally when my son stepped out of the shower soaking wet. The siren is LOUD. You also get an alert through the app, so you don't have to be within earshot to know something is wrong. Bottom line: Small, unobtrusive, easy to set up, and well worth the money for the peace of mind.

This is the second group I've bought for these. I find them highly reliable. I was overseas for half a year and rented my place out and was notified by email any time the sensors went off (mostly just due to a little water during cleaning.) They did give a loud warning recently when my washing machine flooded and we definitely got to deal with it faster.

We had a basement sewage flood several months ago, that cost tens of thousands of dollars in total, between replacing our sewage pipe and getting our basement back to how it originally was. It was an incredibly stressful time, to say the least. We don't go in our basement very often, a handful of times a week or so. That's how it was able to happen in the first place. These sensors could've REALLY saved us if we had them. So after that happened, it was a no-brainer to buy these leak detectors, and put them everywhere, but particularly the basement. Not even a month later, our kitchen faucet started leaking, and immediately the sensor went off. It is LOUD. It also sent me an alert to my phone, along with an email. The leak had barely just started, and I had already set down a waterproof liner, so there was no damage, and we replaced the faucet ourselves that night. Granted this would've been a lot cheaper to repair than a basement sewage flood, but it still would've been a huge hassle, especially if it warped our cabinets or wooden flooring. I AM SO GLAD we have these now. Well worth the money and peace of mind.

Being in a condo that flooded once, this is real peace of mind to be alerted on our phone to water. Alarm went off from sensor under washing machine when I did an extra hot load of laundry, so presumably it’s very sensitive to high humidity (which is fine by us).
