Water Sensor for Heat Pump Air Handler Pan

Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought the sensor to alert me if the drain from a garage ceiling mount heat pump air handler has clogged and is overflowing into the pan beneath the air handler. I have an Arris combination modem and router that broadcasts on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz so I was unable to connect using the the MOBI app. After numerous failed attempts I downloaded and connected to the Smart Life app under an "other sensor". I placed my sensor and phone about 30 feet from the modem/router and was able to complete the install of what was identified as a Flood Sensor. I would have rated it a 5 had I been able to connect using the MOBI app.

Hello Bob, thank you for reaching out. We apologize that you experienced difficulty connecting with the MOBI App. Unfortunately, with dual-band routers, when they are not split (meaning each network has its own name/password) they run the potential of one network emitting charge over the other. This causing interference in the ability to solidify a connection to the network you attempt to pair the MOBI device with.

Works great when using it for a hot water tank that you put a pan underneath the tank. My drain was to far away from the tank, so had to put this pan and sensor under the tank. Must make sure to put some cardboard under the pins. If not this will continue to go off because of metal on metal.

After 25 years, I am very disappointed in Best Buy

This popped up on sale, I didn't go looking nor was this my first choice.
It seemed very reasonable and I found out why.
I needed 5 of these products to protect numerous residences that I have & quickly.
After receiving the units, I had difficulty making the first connection of 5, I purchased and yes I understand the split system but we only use 2.4. That being said, the quality is not what I expected.
I also found the batteries supplied were too weak to connect the balance of them.
I wasted a great deal of time doing this which is costly.
I also found the batteries only work for 6 weeks, not helpful at all
I made a mistake with this purchase and want something much better, to count on and doesn't have WI-FI issues that lasts, better connection and so on.
I tried to return, Best Buy will not let me return them because it is past 30 days. lets see if you can help me
considering the price also went down in the 30 days I purchased them

Hello Roger, Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for the difficulty you experienced with the Smart Water Leak Sensors. As you noted, the Smart Water Leak Sensors are ONLY compatible with a 2.4GHz WiFi network, and if your router isn't formally split where the 2.4G network has its own SSID (WiFi name and password) that is completely different from that of the 5G network you run the potential of the incompatible network emitting charge over the compatible network which as a result will cause difficulty in the device's connectivity or if the device is lucky to connect, it will knock the device "offline." If you have your router formally split where each network is "uniquely" named and has its own password and you still experience difficulty with the device connecting or staying connected, please feel free to submit a ticket to our 24-hour Support Desk at https://mobiusa.com/pages/contact-us or call our Support Team at (323) 904-3000. We are available Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PST.

Failed to connect to Wi-Fi.

I was unable to get these to connect to Wi-Fi. I went through all the instructions and troubleshooting including manually connecting to the devices and separating out the 2.4 G Wi-Fi band with no luck. Returned these to Best Buy. FYI, I am an IT professional who has set up network and Wi-Fi devices on many different networks. My home Wi-Fi supports multiple IOT devices including smart home devices with no difficulty. I am using the most current Asus mesh Wi-Fi device with most current firmware.

Hello Zedrian, Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for the difficulty you have experienced with the Smart Water Leak Sensors. Ensure that you are pairing the device with a 2.4GHz WiFi network and that your mobile device is connected to the same network you are pairing the device to. If you have a dual-band router that is both 2.4G and 5G we recommend splitting the router where each network is "uniquely" named and has its own password. This will prevent the incompatible network from emitting charge over the compatible network which as a result will prevent the device from connecting to the network that it needs.
