Buen invento

I don’t usually think much about water leaks, until one nearly turned into a very expensive problem. Installing the YoLink Water Leak Sensor ended up being one of those small decisions that quietly pays for itself in a big way. I had it set up two years ago, mainly as a precaution. Last summer, we traveled abroad on vacation, so there was no one at home. I had left the main water supply on to keep the lawn irrigation running. Mid vacation, a leak started, at the worst possible time! What made the difference was the instant alert. I received a notification on my phone that water had been detected. Instead of finding out 10 days after, I was able to act immediately. I called a friend who had a spare key, asked him to check the house, and he quickly shut off the main water supply. That one alert likely prevented what could have been thousands of dollars in damaged floors, walls, and everything in between. It turned a potential disaster into a minor inconvenience. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind it provides, especially when you’re not home. It’s not something you think about daily, but in situations like this, it proves its value instantly. Looking back, it’s hard not to see it as an essential part of a home setup. It’s a simple device, but one that can make a very real difference when it matters most.

Easy to set up with app. Works well. The notification from the app isn't as startling as I would like. It's just a notification on your phone. I would have liked the option of an alarm if it happened overnight and was sleeping.

I just bought them the hub with 4 sensors and an extra 3 without the hub. They are all connected I used Ethernet connection to wifi on second floor. Hub covers right to main floor and furnace room and main shutoff in basement. I cannot say how long the battery lasts as just purchased. My friend had one and he to,d me 3 years and still hasn't changed battery. No false alarms so far. I'm happy with product. Seems made of good quality.

Within the first week, I heard beeping coming from under the kitchen sink, and low and behold, we had a small leak under our sink! It really gave me peace of mind that this will keep us from suffering a costly home repair, or major damage when we might be away from the house. I would recommend! Setup was super easy and took very little time. The beeping wasn't overly loud, but loud enough to hear from several rooms away, and the app will also send an alert.
