Product Description
The Water Leak Sensor Starter Kit is an easy to use DIY leak detection solution for the home that notifies you of any water leaks as soon as they occur, so you can avoid costly water damage repairs from leaks that go undetected. The kit includes a Master Unit (or Hub) with attachable sensing cable, and a battery powered sensing Pod. The Hub plugs into any wall outlet, while the sensing Pod can be placed in areas susceptible to water leaks such as the washing machine, water heater, under sinks. The Pod sports two pre-installed AAA batteries for up to 5 years of battery life. Both units are super easy to set up and come pre-paired to the mydlink app which can be downloaded onto your smartphone and easily connected to your home’s existing WiFi. The multi-alert system (audible, visual, mobile) makes it accessible whether home or away. The Hub’s LED strobe light is powerful for visual notification, while the Hub’s built in 100 dB alarm is easily heard. You can also connect to Google Speaker for voice alerts, and finally rich notifications are sent to your mobile phone. Scalable and versatile you can add up to 16 Pods throughout your home. The Pods low profile design make it easy to place discreetly and the sensing cable allows for more out of reach placement. The reliable mydlink water sensor kit is always on so when you are away you have peace of mind.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When I set them up again, they are able to notify my phone for a brief period, but eventually that changes and they stop. I thought this might be a problem with my device, but: in the app, after I put the sensor in water, it does not note any events in the sensor device history. The app just does not work properly, as other reviewers have noted. Wish I'd avoided this product.
These are superior to all the other water sensor solutions I have tried. A very enthusiastic 5-star rating!
We lost power to the house a few days after I first set it up, but when the power came back on the devices did not reconnect to the wireless network. I had to unplug the main sensor and plug it back in to get it on the network. The wireless sensor also had to be reset. I hope that doesn't happen every time because my sensors are hard to get to.
The mydlink android phone app lacks functionality for this product. It seems geared towards their other camera and home automation products. If water is detected, the app notifications are minimal. It pops up right away, but fades away in the sea of other calendar, text, e-mail, ... notifications. If you're not paying close attention, you may miss the SINGLE notification. I ignore my phone for hours at a time. It needs to be an alarm. If my encapsulated crawl space is being flooded, I want this app to pester me until I acknowledge it.
The notifications from the app are the only option. I'd like to include multiple e-mail and/or text addresses to ensure the entire household is aware of the problem. Looking for more options, I logged in with the same account at mydlink.com. It wouldn't work with Firefox, Edge or Chrome. mydlink.com only supports Internet Explorer 11 or the unsupported Firefox 52 ESR (from 2017-18). That's inexcusable. On top of that, it doesn't list my devices in my account, and it only shows product information on their camera products. Absolutely useless.
Also, the app ignores the phone's screen timeout setting. If you set your phone down with the mydlink app visible, the screen will not turn off (and lock the phone) and it will drain your battery.
Update: After another power outage, and manually resetting my Internet router, these devices will never come back on-line without recycling the power to them. If they fail to connect to my wireless network one time after a power outage, because they power up faster than my router, they will NEVER try to connect again. If I reset my router, they will NEVER try to reconnect. I surprised that a company that makes decent computer networking gear, with "Link" in their name, can't get this device to reconnect to the network without turning it off and back on.
Got rid of the washer and dryer, purchases another set, and installed this water leak device to warn us when it happens. Trial tests show that it works great. This system gives me peace of mind that if and when it happens again, we will be notified to address the situation before it becomes a major issue.
I put one in my water heater catch, one under my AC unit, and under each sink. These are all places I have had leaks before.
The response is immediate. It sends a notification straight to my phone.
The area I live is super humid, so my AC drain leaks frequently, no matter what I pour in it. But this way, instead of leaks in my garage that take hours to clean up ( I don’t go in my garage frequently), I am immediately notified to be able to take action and prevent water from going all over the place.
The price is worth it 100%!!
Buy this!! You can thank me later!!! :)
