Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack, Water Leak Detector 100dB Adjustable Alarm and App Alerts, Leak and Drip Alert with Email, Wireless Detector for Home, Basement(Not Support 5G WiFi)

After 9 months of use, the gateway keeps on disconnecting without connecting back to the WiFi. Became useless. Contacted the seller for warranty. Was told to contact Govee directly, who said this seller isn’t an authorised one and warranty is void... A joke... Avoid this seller by all means. The product itself is nice. Buy directly from Govee and you’ll be on the safe side.

I bought this six years ago. I’ve changed the batteries two or three times. It’s saved my hide a couple times. Yesterday morning, I was changing the battery for one of my alarms next to my sump pump as I was replacing it I couldn’t see very well, and I dropped the alarm into the sump pit on accident. I heard the “kerplink” of the alarm splashing into the water… And then a muffled alarm. I was all the way dressed and late for work, so I did what anybody else would do – I pretended I didn’t do it and walked away! I figured I would just let it break – the thing certainly wouldn’t last more than a few minutes fully submerged, right? Then came the alarms on my cell phone. And the emails over and over again, it was incredibly annoying and interrupted my day. I had to shut off my phone during important meetings and confess to coworkers what I had done earlier that day. Over and over again, it didn’t stop. 12 hours later after I put the kids in bed, I went back to my basement and fetched the alarm out of the water, fully submerged. The battery was still at maximum level, it was still screaming, and alarm both audibly, through email, and incessant notifications. EXACTLY ITS JOB. Perfect! But this little bugger with six year old technology did its job all day long, fully submersed, and didn’t give up. THATS AMAZING! I set up my hub once six years ago and it’s easy as can be. I’ve changed wifi equipment and it all transferred. I’ve had trouble with other hubs but not this one. THIS IS A TANK! So far, im more thankful for this than my fire alarm!

Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack, Water Leak Detector 100dB Adjustable Alarm and App Alerts, Leak and Drip Alert with Email, Wireless Detector for Home, Basement(Not Support 5G WiFi) These are cost-effective Wi-Fi enabled water leak sensor devices. This pack comes with three wireless sensors that check in to a single Wi-Fi plug-in hub. This type of design allows you to buy many sensors for a cost-effective price. There are other water leak sensors that have Wi-Fi built into the leak sensor itself however the obvious trade-off here is that each of those are typically 40 to $70. With this type of design each water sensor uses a 433 MHz RF signal to the central hub. And the hub itself connects to Wi-Fi using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Because of the low RF range it is quite capable to be placed pretty much anywhere in your house and reach the Wi-Fi hub. The water detection is very quick and it notifies your phone and sends an email. Within 10 seconds of detection you will get a phone app notification as well as an email and obviously you will hear the siren go off loudly. The water leak sensors have three volume levels for the siren. Basically you would want to set this to the high level. Each of these sensors uses two AAA batteries. The anxiety that one day you will run out of batteries on a sensor is eliminated by the fact that it checks into the app and your phone app displays the battery level of each sensor independently. Each sensor can be labeled to however you want to be descriptive. In order to figure out which sensor is which, you basically trigger the water sensor and the app tells you which one is firing and from that point on you know which sensor to label. This is a very nice water leak detection system not only because it works quickly, but it being wifi enabled to your phone with minimal notification delay, is just invaluable. Disclosure: I own a few dlink water sensors which are all stand alone wifi enabled detectors and they cost 70$ each!!! Quite frankly this govee system works better and notifies you quicker even! I also own non connected water detection sirens..they work great too , you just never know when the battery is dead ... And you never know if it's going off when you're not home. I recommend this over D-Link and any other non wifi enabled devices. . Hope this helps

This water alarm comes with 3 sensors, which you wirelessly connect to a "gateway" resembling a mini router which gets plugged into a standardized household electrical outlet and remains plugged in. Once these sensors are "paired" with the "gateway" and you enter in information on an app downloaded on your smartphone, the system is operational. I have tested each sensor placing it on a wet sponge. The sensor would begin sounding a shrill beeping alarm, and seconds later you would receive a warning via your smartphone informing you that there is a leak detected, and from which detector (you get to name each detector's location). So if you're not home, you can rush home or alert a neighbor about your flooding home. If you're far away on vacation and don't have family or a friend who can gain entry to your home, you can panic and get used to the idea that your home is getting ruined by water and, subsequently, mold. You can also purchase additional sensors and link them to the same "gateway" you already have. The system I purchased would not link to my cell phone, rendering it useless if nobody was home. I emailed Govee technical support who sent, within hours, correct or nearly correct instructions on how to pair it. I am pretty much a technical idiot, so if I was able to pair these sensors, you probably can. I just don't understand why a company wouldn't enclose the correct instructions with a product. Apparently something was lost in the translation from a Chinese language to English. For a $75 one-time fee, Govee could probably have hired a proficient translator to write the freakin' instructions that could be followed by customers easily. I gave 'em 5 stars anyway.

These sensors are small, unobtrusive, and give me peace of mind knowing I’ll be alerted immediately if water is detected. Setup & Ease of Use Setting up these sensors was quick and straightforward.

Once placed, they work instantly without any additional setup. Performance The sensors are highly responsive. Even a small amount of water triggers an immediate alert to my phone, giving me enough time to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem. The notifications are reliable, and the sensors seem very accurate. Build Quality These sensors feel solid and well-built. They’re compact enough to place discreetly, yet durable enough to last for years without issue. Battery life is excellent, so I don’t have to worry about frequent replacements. Final Thoughts Overall, the Govee Water Sensor 3-pack is a must-have for anyone who wants to protect their home from unexpected leaks. Easy to install, reliable, and highly effective—these sensors give me confidence and peace of mind.

I have other GoVee products so bought this to be able to use the same app. Function wise it works great. There are two weaknesses I see. First off, when it is triggered, it sends a notification in the app. I had tested it when I first got it but failed to clear the alert. So, when it was actually triggered by spraying water from my sump pump, the alert did not go off because it was stuck with the old one. I guess you can't have two alerts at a time? Second, it is not loud enough. We have these down in our basement and if you are on a second floor room (like when you are sleeping in the middle of the night) you can not hear it. My wife only heard it go off when she was walking by the basement door. Of course if the notification has worked properly, I would have known right away. Thankfully it must have not been going off for long as not that much water had accumulated. My tip is to check the devices int he app to make sure they are online and working. I also noticed that the synch module goes offline a lot though I think that has to do with my WiFi. Because this only works with 2.4ghz, I had to connect it to my Guest network as opposed to my Wifi 6 normal connection. The 2.4ghz seems to catch interference a lot and go down, but it does come back online and the device connects back with no issue. Thankfully I don't have to reconnect it every time it happens.
