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!!

Can’t say enough good things about these sensors. My real world experience was forgetting that I was filling up a 19 gallon utility room sink. Fortunately, my phone was in hand when I got the push notification. What turned out to be a simple cleanup with minimal water spillage, could have easily been thousands of dollars in damage and an insurance claim.

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).

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.

Bought this Govee water detection system just over six years ago. Replaced batteries a couple times. They continue to work flawlessly! Great App included that even notifies you when batteries need to be replaced. A great product with no monthly fees.

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.

Anyone that’s gone through water damage will tell you this is definitely worth the time and investment. Time will tell if these devices will work down the road but what I like about this product is that there are alarms on each sensor as well as an app that will trigger email notifications and app notifications. If your Wi-Fi and power is down for some reason, you still have the alarm in each individual sensor as a fallback. As others have pointed out, the initial set up can be a bit of a pain, particularly if you were on 5G so I decided to outline the steps for my process as a Verizon FiOS customer using gigabit service and 5 GHz WiFi. Fios Setup First go to the FiOS app on your iPhone or android. Depending on your app set up, click on Internet (Manage your home network)/Advanced Settings/Self Organizing Network (SON) and disable it. Once you come back out to the Prior menu screen you should see both your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. In order to set up the Govee, I temporarily disabled my 5 GHz networks to avoid any issues with the device pairing. After I was done setting up the hub and pairing all sensors, I reenabled the 5 gig service. Step-by-step setup Govee Hub Setup: Plug-in Govee hub device so buttons are on the left. Download Govee Home app. Open it and click the plus button to add a new device. Type 5040 or 5041 depending on your model. Create a Govee account with the email you want to be notified when there’s an alarm. With the hub plugged in so the buttons are on the left side, press and hold the top button for three seconds until the blue light starts blinking in a slow steady manner. Click confirm on the Govee app and type in your Wi-Fi password. That should create the Govee gateway in your list of Wi-Fi options, which you will need to select. So go to settings/ Wi-Fi and click the Govee gateway option in your list of Wi-Fi SSIDs. Once your phone connects to the Govee Gateway, go back to the Govee app and continue through any prompts. Make sure your phone is close to the Govee hub and that you’re within range of your router. When the hub is done connecting, you should automatically see the sensors that came in your kit, listed in your Govee app on your phone. From here, you can select the sensor in the app, click the gear icon in the top right corner and rename each individual device with the location where you are putting it. E.g., 5040-T67G (XXXX) can be renamed to dishwasher or washing machine, etc. Pairing Additional Govee Sensors: If you purchased additional sensors, you will need to pair those with the Govee hub individually. At least that’s how I did it so I could keep track of each sensor and rename it appropriately. To pair a new sensor, remove the battery cover from the sensor so that the device is active. With the hub plugged in so the buttons are on the left, press and hold the lower button for three seconds. It should begin to blink red and blue. At this point press and hold the sensor button for three seconds and let go. You should hear a subsequent beep from the sensor within a few seconds of letting go of the button. From here, your device should be added to the app within 30 to 60 seconds and you should be able to see the new sensor number listed the app. You may need to change screens (click on profile then click back to the home button) within the app to see the update. Follow the same steps to rename each sensor as needed. I purchased additional sensors so I needed to identify them individually and decided to use a label maker on each one so that I don’t get them mixed up. Because I had so many sensors, and could not figure out how to identify the individual sensors in the app, I was forced to trigger the alarm (by getting each sensor wet momentarily). This allowed me to see which sensor in the app was triggered and from there I was able to rename it. It also allowed me to test the function of each sensor. Hope this helps those of you in my situation!

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.

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..
