How can I make the Water Leak Sensor sound off an audible alarm in addition to providing me an alert on my phone? null

Question

Accepted Answer

If you are using SmartThings, when you are setting up your leak settings in the smart home monitor (classic app), click on “alert with siren” and check the box next to the siren you have. If you don’t have one, any z-wave siren will need to be added into the hub prior to linking the sensors.

You could connect it with a Sonos speaker that can also be remotely controlled through Smartthings. Or if you have an alarm siren, you could set up a rule to sound the siren. That would be really loud though ;-)

The sensor does not make any sounds itself. You need Google assistant or Alexa to sound an alarm.

Use the WFFT applet

That would require a bit more involved set up and a compatible siren / sound output set up in SmartThings.

Check out the SmartThings website, as they have a lot of great “how tos” and helpful information for setting up your smart home. 

Here is a link to a blog post they wrote that specifically tells you how to do exactly what you are looking for.
