Samsung - Water Leak Sensor - White

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!

If you Ever have leaks around your house this is a great Device too have its small u can put it anywhere it works with your phone it tell you what part of the house the leak is happening it send a text Alert to your phone telling you you have a water leak

This is an excellent addition to your smart-home. If you already have Samsung Smart-things hub. I bought it because we had a water leak under sink so now I want to be sure that I will be immediately informed if anything happened again

I had to replace my toilet because it was leaking and it damaged a few other thing. I got this to let me know if it leaks again. I was unaware of a few other features like what's in the picture below

After my old dishwasher leaked in a hidden manner and did a fair bit of damage to drywall and caused some mold to develop that I had to remediate, I decided I needed a solution to ensure this did not happen again. I decided to get a number of these sensors, including one for under the dishwasher. It's a bit thick, but it would fit there if I needed it to. For the dishwasher in particular, however, I converted one of the sensors to a perimeter sensor; I soldered two wires to the contacts on the top of this sensor and ran them around the rear and sides of the dishwasher, ensuring the wires don't touch one another. Now, if water puddles anywhere around the new dishwasher, this will detect it. I plan to do the same thing to extend the reach of the sensors I have near my clothes washer, water heater, and HVAC systems. Additionally, I placed a number of these under each of my sinks, to detect leaks there, and finally one in my crawlspace beneath my kitchen, in case any leak occurs there and doesn't trigger the sensor under the kitchen sink and dishwasher, as well as if any drain/waste piping develops a leak. One of my sensors have already picked up a valid, though non-issue, leak due to some wet clothes dripping on the floor and the water meandering under the machine and tripping the sensor. Overall, these sensors provide ample peace of mind that I am very unlikely to have a water issue crop up unknown and cause hidden damage in the future. If I could change one thing, I would like there to be an optional leak detection cable that could be easily connected to these, rather than needing to jury-rig one as I did for my dishwasher.

I purchased several of these Samsung water leak sensors to monitor for leaks throughout my home. They pair easily with my SmartThings hub. I like that they have sensor contacts on the top and bottom so leaks are detected from spray falling down from above and also water pooling on the floor. So far I've deployed them under all sink cabinets, laundry room floor, and in basement on floor by water heater and water softener. To prevent them from being moved or tipped on their side by pets or moving stuff around under cabinets I've placed water sprinkler system guards on top of them. I was concerned these metal wire guards/cages might reduce the wireless signal but doesn't seem to be the case. I've had them in place for about a month now and they are working well. I set up automations in SmartThings to send SMS TXT alerts to my cell phone and my wife's if there is a leak detected. I also placed one in a waterproof cell phone pouch and it's floating in my hot tub to monitor for water temperature drops that would indicate a malfunction. Big concern is losing heat during the winter months here in Michigan where I live. If I get a leak detected that tells me the waterproof pouch is no longer sealed. Only in use for a month but so far working great!

Can detect leaks dripping from above and below. Adding this version of the water sensor using the new app is faster because you can take a picture of the QR code on the back and avoid that nonsense of trying to detect it. Plus manually adding the device allows you to pick the hub you want to use if you have more than one hub at your location. They also made the action button accessible from the outside inside of having to open it. The only bad thing is that you can't get a report of which sensor was triggered (top or bottom) either one goes and you will get an alert.

I have always had a couple of water sensors in the house to let me know in the event of a water leak or sump pump failure. Have spent the last couple of years building up my SmartThings base and decided to add one of these to the mix as well. It's small and can be placed anywhere. Tested it to make sure it works, but luckily haven't actually had it go off in a real event yet. Great to have the piece of mind knowing that I can get alerted in the event that I am not at home via SmartThings. I might eventually move this to another place like under a sink or dishwasher, but before I do that I will get one that has the wires and sensor I can stick into the sump pump pit itself and be notified before water gets to the top.
