Installation was quick and easy, seamlessly connecting to my 2.4GHz WiFi network and working flawlessly with the Govee Home app. I can easily monitor each sensor's status from my phone.The alarm is loud, and alerts appear instantly on my mobile, which is essential for preventing major water damage.I placed sensors in high-risk areas—one in the basement, three in the bathrooms, and one under the kitchen sink. Since installing them, they’ve already detected water leaks twice, allowing me to fix the issue before serious damage occurred.These sensors provide incredible peace of mind—a must-have for any home!

Like swblake noted, the instructions for pairing, in the instruction manual are not correct. To pair a water sensor with a hub, assuming that you have already plugged the hub into an electrical outlet and successfully connected to the hub via the Govee app (Android/iOS), long press the lower button on the hub, for about 3 seconds. That will put the hub into pairing mode. Then, bring the water sensor very close to the hub (a few inches away), and long press the water sensor's button for about 3 seconds. Give it another 5-10 seconds for it to finish pairing. From the lights, it's pretty obvious when it's paired successfully. Once it's been paired successfully, you can then relocate the water sensor to your desired location.Interestingly, one of the water sensors actually detected an occasional, minor drip, that was occurring in one of my bathrooms, that I had not previously noticed at all.As a test of the battery levels, I replaced the batteries on one unit with older batteries, having a voltage of 1.17 volts each. I was pleased to note that when I refreshed the Govee hub app, it picked up that the battery level on that water sensor had gone down, from 5 bars to 2 bars.CAVEAT:I did another test where I removed the batteries entirely. Unfortunately, when I did this, and then refreshed the hub app's device list, the water sensor, from which I had removed the batteries, still showed up in the list, with NOTHING to indicate that there was anything wrong with the water sensor. In fact, as an additional test, I left out the batteries for 30 minutes, and the Govee hub was UNABLE to detect that the water sensor was no longer operational..This is a problem because, if a water sensor suddenly dies, the user has NO WAY to tell that it's died. And so they're left in a situation where they think the water sensor is still working when it actually isn't. This could very well result in a catastrophic situation where the user ends up suffering thousands of dollars in water damage due to this software fault.A better way to handle this situation is, if the Govee hub cannot detect a device, upon device list refresh, simply flag/highlight the device and, ideally email the user, regarding the water sensor that is no longer sending messages to the hub. Optionally, allow the user to specify the timeout duration, beyond which they want to receive an alert. For example, if the Govee hub hasn't received a status update from a device within a 5 minute time period, have the Govee hub send an alert to the user regarding said device..Hopefully, Govee will push out an update to resolve this important issue.Getting notifications on my Android phone, when a water leak is detected is pretty awesome! I actually created a custom ringtone, of a dripping sound, to associate with water leak notifications. Which helps to determine that it's a HIGHLY IMPORTANT notification..Getting app notifications, for water leaks, is a killer feature, for water sensors. Love it.And the idea of transmitting on 433 MHz frequency, to the Govee hub, instead of having each sensor connected directly via WiFi, is probably an excellent design decision, in terms of conserving, prolonging battery life, as direct Wifi connections would probably have required much bigger capacity batteries, due to their relatively higher energy requirements.

We got these as a precautionary step to protect our home from water damage. It is pretty straightforward to set up.We tested it and it worked well. Once water went on, the alarm went off (able to silent it) and we received a notification.

So far these seem to be holding up after a few years. However, it starts chirping when the battery is dying (and odds are it will happen while you are sleeping at 2am). The battery cover has tiny screws to remove to gain access to the batteries, which is a really poor design. Upon replacement of the batteries, I just taped the cover on and ditched the screws.

This is my second pack of these. The first worked so well that I got another pack.They alarm when they get wet, and the alarm volume has various loudness settings.Super easy to place under a kitchen sink or in and RV wet bay. I recommend you consider these if you think there is a chance of anything leaking or dripping.Hope that helps!

Great Peace of mind for a small price! Tested all five - work well. Hope we never hear the alarm for an actual water leak or broken pipe.

I have these spread around the house near places that may leak like the furnace, basement water heater, garage water heater, and the bar sink in the basement. These came with a wi-fi hub that enable me to get alerts if a leak is detected. Installation was easy.

Good set of 5 and works well on testing. It detects by water droplets falling over it and from bottom I think.

I recently added the Govee Water Detectors 5 Pack to our workshop, and it's been a game changer for us. These sensors are incredibly sensitive and immediately alert us to any leaks or drips with a loud 100dB alarm. This is crucial in our line of work, where we often deal with water and various chemicals. The adjustable audio alarm is a great feature, allowing us to set the volume to our preferred level. Having these detectors in our kitchen and bathroom areas gives us peace of mind, knowing that we'll be promptly alerted to any water issues before they become major problems. This has already saved us from potential damage and ensures our work environment stays safe and efficient. Highly recommend!

I have the 3 sensor kit with the wifi hub and this set of an extra 5 sensors. It just works! No problem at all. Had 3 water problems and each time this kit notified me instantly. Wasn't so lucky prior to this purchase. Only downside, if you're relying on the detectors alarm, it's not the loudest. It's fine if you're close by. The wifi hub is where it shines! Any device you have linked to the app will notify you. In my case, I get an email, my phone notification tells me which sensor is leaking and my Google Assistant speaks out loud I have a water leak and where it is. Just awesome.

I've been using the water leak detectors for a while now and have been very happy. They have detected a number of minor problems in my basement and alerted me to them. The battery life seems to be really good and they reliability of the unit is good as well. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Ordered these as extras and installed under all the toilets and kitchen sink. Had installed 3 previously , basement and within sump pump barrel. One went into alarm during a long downpour , as the rain barrels overflowed causing water in the basement.. got the alarm on my iPhone within seconds. Dealt with the rain barrel overflow. Only a few drops in the basement..
