Aeotec SmartThings SmartThings Water Leak Sensor, ZigBee, Battery Powered, Smart Home Hub Compatible

Setting up with Habitat was pretty straight forward.I wanted to use it to turn off a dehumidifier when/if a drain backed up. Worked like a charm swapping from dry to wet and back during testing.So I wanted to test that if it would function when the water level raised over the contacts, so I placed it in a container and allowed water to slowly immerse it.Should have thought that through more carefully ... The innards of the sensor became wet and now it is no longer functioning.There is another version that is about the same price (it is already on order) that (should) be submersible, but without the temperature sensor; upgrading $10 or so will get a immersible probe with temperature and humidity sensors on the 'dry' end.Note: Take the unstarred features with a grain of salt, I used it for less that an hour.

Purchased about a year ago. Got this along ThirdReality one and Centralite one.This one is the most expensive of the three, but has the most features, looks nice and retained the most battery over a year of use: 76%, compared to 42% in ThirdReality and 0 for Centralite.Centralite one was the first to drain its battery but it also was located the furthest from the "base"Between the 3 I'd go with Aeotec, since it's smaller, more functional and easier to work with. You get almost 2 of ThirdReality for 1 Aeotec tho, so maybe waiting for a deal is best :)

Had to get Alexa app, attempt a bunch of times, and create a custom rule. It shows up as a "Samjin smart device” motion sensor, not water leak detector.

Wireless. Compatible with Samsung Home Hub. Long battery life. Sends message to your phone ifleak is detected.

A bit pricey, but they are just so good.The design is mechanically solid. It has test points (drip sensor?) on the top, and leak probes on the bottom. Battery life is excellent. The first ones I bough in May 2020 didn't need batteries until Nov 2021. The good quality batteries I put in then, are still going strong as of Feb 2023.They quickly and easily paired with Homeassistant's ZHA integration and have had no problems with failing to remain on the zigbee network.I now have one under each sink in the house and two in the basement. In the basement they are adjacent to the sink and the well pump. Considering the cost of water damage from a leak, this is cheap insurance.
