Works as expected
|Posted .Bought first one three years ago for my basement sump pump that never shuts off during spring melt and fall rains. Just a week ago I get a message that the sump pump area is wet. Have in been mulling around in that area of the basement earlier in the day I had accidentally bumped the cord and unknowingly unplugged it! Saved me from a flooded basement!

Die quickly, no notification
Posted .Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Bought 5 of these last year. Two showed offline, probably battery died. One drop off the hub completely. Two still alive showing about 17% battery life. I got no notification or any indication. Horrible battery life and very untrust worthy product. Search smartthings battery life. Stay away. Probably go in the trash for me.

Posted .We're sorry to hear of the issues you have experienced with your SmartThings Water Leak Sensors! You can create a notification for battery life by adding a custom automation within the SmartThings App. Following the steps on our Support page here -- https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002056383 -- the "If" would be device status of the sensor's battery at the level you choose, while the "Then" would be to notify members. You are able to customize the notification you receive as well. If you have additional questions, or need assistance, please reach out directly to our dedicated SmartThings team at 1-866-813-2404 or support@smartthings.com. We would love the opportunity to help you get everything working properly and can assist with troubleshooting the offline devices! ~Samsung Brand Ambassador

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Using it for about an year now and I am very happy with it. Initially I connected it to Samsung Smartthings hub. Recently I bought a Hubitat Elevation hug to replace Smartthings hub. It is working great so far. I kept one in the basement floor near the sump pump and another one in the laundry room. It shows 70 percentage battery left after one year of usage. The one in the basement drains more battery because of the colder temperature there. Great product and I recommend it to anyone.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We use these to monitor for water in our basement. This is one of 4. We use it with our Samsung SmartThings Hub. Works great! I have it set to notify us on our phones if it detects water, and if we're home, it will power on the lights in the house and play a verbal notification on our smart speakers.

Phenominal !

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We had a leaky spot under our sink. The drips were never consistent and hard to locate. I put this device under our sink and within 24 hours, I was receiving alerts on my iphone that the drip had started. I was able to track it down to a flex hose going bad in our kitchen sink. It does not take much water to activate it. I am super happy with this product.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI notice when I check the status on this device from the Smarthings app it says "battery at 86%". Question is, How do you recharge it? Or when its gets to 0%, do you just have to buy a new one?
Asked by John.
- A:Answer You can buy replaceable batteries for this unit. You can see the battery status in Smartthings.
Answered by Jmr434
Q: QuestionCouple questions: 1. Can this be paired up with ONLY the ADT Security Hub ? 2. Can someone that already has this working screenshot the data it shows ? (I'd like to add it on as a temp sensor in my bsmt to send alert if its getting to cold)
Asked by tmoney20g.
- A:Answer I'm using this sensor with the plain smartthings hub, not the ADT one. You can set it to send alerts when a certain temp is reached.
Answered by kchamp
Q: QuestionHow can I make the Water Leak Sensor sound off an audible alarm in addition to providing me an alert on my phone?
Asked by boshop.
- A: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.

Q: QuestionCan you set a temperature limit and get an alert on your phone? I’m primarily looking to remotely monitor temperature to avoid frozen pipes but also have use for the water sensing function.
Asked by Jessica.
- A:Answer Hello! You can absolutely create a temperature notification within the SmartThings App using the Water Leak Sensor in a custom automation. You select the temperature threshold, as well as the message that is sent if the threshold is hit. If you have a compatible audio device connected to the system, you can also program an audio notification. Thank you! ~Samsung Brand Ambassador

Q: QuestionDoes this sensor connect to and work with the TopGreener (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.topgreener.wifi&hl=en_US) mobile app?
Asked by TommyBoy.
- A:Answer No. The water sensor does not use WiFi. As such you must use the smart things hub to connect to it.
