SwitchBot WiFi Water Leak Detector, Water Sensor, No Hub, App/Email Alerts | 100dB Water Alarm, IP67 waterproof, detects 0.5mm leaks, drips & water level, 2.4GHz, no hub, battery up to 2 years

Does the job as it should. Very simple to use and setup.

Very easy to set up, and the Wi-Fi notification is brilliant. We had a leak with our washing machine, so this was perfect to put underneath just in case the leak occurred again. Very small in size. Definitely needed if you want peace of mind.

Slightly fiddly to set up and pair with WiFi via the iOS app - not helped by somewhat garbled instructions that have to be downloaded from a QR code. Apple HomeKit integration is not terribly clear. That said, the sensor is neat, very compact and easily placed alongside any boiler, water heater, dishwasher or laundry appliance. Having tested the alarm, the smallest spillage or leak seems to trigger the alarm and/or email alerts (as programmed). The on-board, physical alarm is sufficiently loud, but suitably time-limited so as to not disturb neighbours unduly if you are away from home if a leak occurs!

Not all smart home devices are born equally....Switchbot make good quality, reliable, tech. As with all these things, nothing is perfect. But Switchbot devices are of a high tech standard and they're, generally, reliable - which is the main thing, really.

This is a great little piece of kit that has helped me whilst away. It actually activated whilst I was travelling so I could send somebody around to have a look. Turned out to be a false alarm but thankful for it letting me know rather than coming home to a water leak. It’s easy to use and set up. The iPhone app is straightforward and uses notification alerts. I’ve had this for a few months and the battery seems to be OK. I have recommended this sensor to others and will be buying more in the future. A quick, easy, and cost effective way to protect yourself and your home!

Sends messages to my phone if a leak is detected, gives me peace of mind

Installation is easy. Download the app, register, add the batteries, it auto detects then add your 2.4Ghz wi-fi details. Once it connects to the cloud service and you have allowed notifications you get email and notifications once the detector detects even a small amount of water 0.5mm. Initially on the app I thought there was a problem with WIFI because the service was greyed out saying bluetooth was lost... This is NOT a problem as this situation occurs because the device to save power only connects to WIFI once it detects water and alerts. The alerts came thru very quickly. A good bit of kit for an early alert of water somewhere :-)

Bought this item after basement flooded after heavy rain as drains could not cope with volume of water at night. If I had known we could have prevented some of the damage. I purchased this item and placed it by the water ingress point and the alarm sounds when water reaches the basement an alert sounds on phones and tablets plus an Alexa alert sounds on all the house devices and we can man the pumps. We test regularly to ensure it works and so far it has worked.

Ho acquistato il rilevatore di perdite d’acqua SwitchBot a gennaio 2025 per installarlo vicino alla caldaia, così da prevenire eventuali perdite o gocciolamenti. Dopo diversi mesi di utilizzo si è dimostrato un prodotto affidabile e molto utile. L’installazione è semplicissima: si configura in pochi minuti tramite l’app SwitchBot, senza bisogno di hub, e può essere posizionato facilmente anche in spazi ristretti. Il sensore rileva immediatamente la presenza di acqua e invia notifiche istantanee sullo smartphone, oltre ad attivare un allarme sonoro ben udibile. Ottima anche l’affidabilità nel tempo: nessun falso allarme e batteria ancora in ottime condizioni. Per chi ha una caldaia in casa o in un locale tecnico, è una soluzione pratica ed efficace per aumentare la sicurezza e prevenire danni. Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente. Consigliato senza dubbi.

Ayer recibí el producto muy bien embalado incluye pilas que se ven en el video y una pua para abrir la tapa que va un poco dura para asi conseguir que se estanco. El funcionamiento es muy simple tienes 2 pines arriba y otros 2 abajo que al notar que cierran el circuito disparan la alarma. La vinculación con la aplicación de switchbot a sido casi inmediata simplemente aprietas durante 2 segundo el único botón del dispositivo y ya vincula siguiendo los pasos de la app. Conectas a la wifi crea el equipo pones las credenciales de la wifi de tu casa y a disfrutar. La app es muy clara incluso tienen un punto muy original y deja que lo configuremos para que salte la alarma cuando no detecta agua, ideal para acuarios o sistemas de riego. Las notificaciones me llagan a la perfección a mi smartphone y smartwatch además al añadirlo a la app ya me sale en mi ecosistema de Google home sin problemas. Creo que es un muy buen producto y mas por el precio que tiene.

J'ai déjà plusieurs thermomètres switchbot dont je suis très content. Ce capteur de fuite parait solide et semble bien marcher suivant mes tests, avec une détection sur le support et au dessus (pour détecter un goutte à goutte avant qu'il y ai une flaque au sol).

Brilliant ! I have installed cameras, door devices, routers, temp guages in 2 locations, and this is the only device of the bunch that just works, No complexity, very reasonable, and part of what gives a small discount from insurers. The fact that it does not need a router makes it much more fail resistant. If I get a water leak, I get a notification and an email. If the battery goes low, I get notifications(and they aren't supposed to be hard on batteries). If I go away for a while, I can see battery state on app. I'm rarely this enthused about a product.

Detects water on a surface or floor with the 2 bottom contacts, or water dripping on top of it with the 2 top contacts. It is a small device so easy to fit in. Works on 2 regular AAA batteries. A Warning is visible in the app when the battery is almost empty, and status of the sensor if water is detected or not. Rules can be created to send specific messages or trigger actions for other switchbot devices. Google home can show the sensor status, but cannot trigger actions when water is detected (not event driven). Prevents a lot of damage by water when wooden furniture or floors are involved. Use under drains, taps, boilers, central heating, open windows or doors when raining. Also sun shading that catches water and could be damaged by the weight of the water can be protected.
