Govee Water Leak Detectors 5 Pack, 100dB Adjustable Audio Alarm Sensor, Sensitive Leak and Drip Alert, for Kitchen Bathroom Basement (Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi Directly)

Have had these over 5 years. They are work horses. I forgot about one of them and the battery lasted over 2 years. Still tripped loudly. They take 2 triple-A batteries. I have them in various places around the house including below the dishwasher in the 3-sided drain pan it sits on. That alarm saved my wood floor!! The one in a second floor bath tripped just from me spraying a cleaner near it. I do place all 5 on top of a cloth that is larger than their small footprint just in case the water doesn't quite make it exactly to the alarm. This again saved my wood floor when my water dispenser spigot was knocked and was trickling water onto the wood floor. I couldn't keep the alarm under foot, so the rag that it sat on caught the water and tripped the alarm in time for us to see the water dripping before expensive damage was done. ( I do put them on a piece of cloth also to ensure that if there is water then the sensors on the bottom of the alarm will trigger quicker.) Also have one in the 2nd floor laundry machine drain pan, even though the drain does go all the way to the basement to prevent damage to that 2nd floor. Otherwise I probably wouldn't notice that there was a leak at all until I happened into the basement (where I have another alarm!) Every year I test them and replace the batteries when I do my smoke alarms which are still battery back up ( Haven't upgraded to 10 year batteries yet). The price of this 5 pack is a pittance when you think about the money it has saved me not just once but multiple times. Piece of mind rarely comes this cheap. I highly recommend these alarms!!

One of the best things we ever bought. It hasn’t been that long since we bought them and the one underneath the kitchen sink already alarmed us about the small leak and we’re so impressed! It’s loud and you won’t miss the sound, we happened to be at home when we had the leak and my husband was able to check on it and fixed the problem right away before it made a huge mess. It’s so easy to install them and knowing that they work so well and that itself helps us at ease.

Initially I bought GoVee hub with a kit and additional 3 sensors for over 3 yrs. In those years they all worked so well to alert me on a couple of occasions that I recently ordered additional sensors. Now I can have one sensor for each place that has valves, either toilet, bath or kitchen sinks. Each Battery set lasts around 3 yrs and simple to replace. The alarm is so loud that i can hear anywhere in my big home. The app is so great that it can provide battery level of each sensor. It can alert when there is leak around the sensor while you are away. NOTE: it can only alert you if there is a leak so you can intervene. It does NOT stop the leak or shut your water.

I really like my Samsung Smart Things water/temp sensors but I wanted to add 7 more sensors and Samsung seems to have priced themselves out of the market. I like my Govee temp/humidity sensors and the Govee prices so gave theses a try. After a couple months my thoughts: - you need a Govee hub. - initial setup wasn’t particularly difficult but the documentation in the box is rudimentary. - pleasant surprise that hub has no problem maintaining connections spread over 2 levels and virtually every corner of a pretty big house. - changing WI-FI was needlessly painful (deducted a star) and beware it only works on 2.4ghz. - my biggest complaint is that unlike my Samsung moisture sensors the Govee app/sensors give no positive feedback that they are connected and working. You are supposed to trust that the view in the app is current. This is primary reason for deduction of second star. - the audible alarm isn’t loud at all and if it is under an enclosed sink for example don’t expect to hear it unless you are in the room. I don’t think one should expect premium features from a budget device so based on the fact this is a decently priced system that seems to work pretty well I added back a star netting a 4 star rating.

Like swblake noted, the instructions for pairing, in the instruction manual are not correct. To pair a water sensor with a hub, assuming that you have already plugged the hub into an electrical outlet and successfully connected to the hub via the Govee app (Android/iOS), long press the lower button on the hub, for about 3 seconds. That will put the hub into pairing mode. Then, bring the water sensor very close to the hub (a few inches away), and long press the water sensor's button for about 3 seconds. Give it another 5-10 seconds for it to finish pairing. From the lights, it's pretty obvious when it's paired successfully. Once it's been paired successfully, you can then relocate the water sensor to your desired location. Interestingly, one of the water sensors actually detected an occasional, minor drip, that was occurring in one of my bathrooms, that I had not previously noticed at all. As a test of the battery levels, I replaced the batteries on one unit with older batteries, having a voltage of 1.17 volts each. I was pleased to note that when I refreshed the Govee hub app, it picked up that the battery level on that water sensor had gone down, from 5 bars to 2 bars. CAVEAT: I did another test where I removed the batteries entirely. Unfortunately, when I did this, and then refreshed the hub app's device list, the water sensor, from which I had removed the batteries, still showed up in the list, with NOTHING to indicate that there was anything wrong with the water sensor. In fact, as an additional test, I left out the batteries for 30 minutes, and the Govee hub was UNABLE to detect that the water sensor was no longer operational.. This is a problem because, if a water sensor suddenly dies, the user has NO WAY to tell that it's died. And so they're left in a situation where they think the water sensor is still working when it actually isn't. This could very well result in a catastrophic situation where the user ends up suffering thousands of dollars in water damage due to this software fault. A better way to handle this situation is, if the Govee hub cannot detect a device, upon device list refresh, simply flag/highlight the device and, ideally email the user, regarding the water sensor that is no longer sending messages to the hub. Optionally, allow the user to specify the timeout duration, beyond which they want to receive an alert. For example, if the Govee hub hasn't received a status update from a device within a 5 minute time period, have the Govee hub send an alert to the user regarding said device.. Hopefully, Govee will push out an update to resolve this important issue. Getting notifications on my Android phone, when a water leak is detected is pretty awesome! I actually created a custom ringtone, of a dripping sound, to associate with water leak notifications. Which helps to determine that it's a HIGHLY IMPORTANT notification.. Getting app notifications, for water leaks, is a killer feature, for water sensors. Love it. And the idea of transmitting on 433 MHz frequency, to the Govee hub, instead of having each sensor connected directly via WiFi, is probably an excellent design decision, in terms of conserving, prolonging battery life, as direct Wifi connections would probably have required much bigger capacity batteries, due to their relatively higher energy requirements.

We had a new bath put in our lower level and had our kitchen re-done. We’ve spent a lot of money and didn’t want to take any chances that water would ruin everything we’ve done. In the month since we’ve put them down, they’ve alerted us to water twice - and one of the times was the day after we put it under our kitchen sink. The installer didn’t fasten down a connection properly and water was everywhere under our sink. We may not have noticed this if it wasn’t for these alarms! Saved my brand new cabinets. The second time was an issue with the plumbing for the new bath. When my daughter was showering, water started to back up in the drain hole on the other side of her bathroom. I was on the second floor of our home and heard this alarm going off in a closed off room in our lower level. Nice and loud! I recommend these to anyone! Save yourself big repair bills and use these!

so these products are always tricky to get paired and I can dedicate the setup with my WiFi for the recommended 2.4 which after it finally caught the hub the sensors were quick connect - but after initial set up of 6 I thought of another area so repeated steps in set up but it will not - emailed their useless customer service - 7 days later no reply but survey sent to me where I replied not satisfied as not contacted for assistance no email nothing. So great product just know you will not get help if need. No phone contact cause they probably are aware of maybe only 1 person minding the store if any. I will continue to blast their customer service as it angers me. ** so I tried the add on again after a week or so and it magically worked like a charm as did initial set up - have no idea what was wrong on my failed attempt but yes great add on no hiccups at all. ** but sadly I give minus 0 on the customer service as there was none. Great water sensors just don’t need help. How sad.

I used to use detectors that make a loud noise when a leak is detected, but that only helps if we are home. I wanted to be alerted whether I am home or not, hence the installation of this Govee solution which will sound a local alarm but also send me a text message. I purchased a gateway with three sensors, a set of 5 sensors and a set of 2 sensors, so 10 sensors total, the max a gateway will support. Configuration, placement and testing of the sensors was drop dead easy. I configured and tested each sensor at my desk by wetting my finger and placing it across the sensors. I then placed all the sensors and positioned the gateway in the center of my home. I have a 3000 sq ft single story home that is somewhat long and narrow, so I was worried one gateway might not reach all the sensors, and sure enough it didn't. I moved the gateway a couple of times until I found a place where it worked for all sensors, which was toward one end of the house, not the center. All in all I am very happy with this solution, I just wish it supported a couple more sensors. I need to buy another gateway with three sensors, I just haven't done so yet, hoping they will come out with a firmware update that supports 12 sensors (one can hope).

El producto no se vincula con la aplicación. Y al ser un producto de un tercero y no ser de un proveedor oficial de la marca, govee no te brinda el soporte.

These water leak detectors give you total peace of mind. I tested them out, and they actually work wonderfully! The audio alarm is loud enough to hear across, and the smartphone alerts come through immediately. Setup was straightforward, truly a lifesaver!

I put detectors under my sinks and behind toilets. They are very sensitive therefore even small condensation can cause activation. Loud noise you can hear easily and warnings on my phone pops up when something happens. Great product for cheap price.

I have the 3 sensor kit with the wifi hub and this set of an extra 5 sensors. It just works! No problem at all. Had 3 water problems and each time this kit notified me instantly. Wasn't so lucky prior to this purchase. Only downside, if you're relying on the detectors alarm, it's not the loudest. It's fine if you're close by. The wifi hub is where it shines! Any device you have linked to the app will notify you. In my case, I get an email, my phone notification tells me which sensor is leaking and my Google Assistant speaks out loud I have a water leak and where it is. Just awesome.

Ordered these as extras and installed under all the toilets and kitchen sink. Had installed 3 previously , basement and within sump pump barrel. One went into alarm during a long downpour , as the rain barrels overflowed causing water in the basement.. got the alarm on my iPhone within seconds. Dealt with the rain barrel overflow. Only a few drops in the basement..
