10 Smart Devices Prevent Water Leaks

Similar to fire, water leaks can lead to extensive property damage if not addressed as soon as possible. Water leaks are usually a result of faulty pipes, leaky faucets, and even weather conditions. Thanks to innovation in technology, you can now install leak sensors in areas prone to leaks to alert you when there’s an issue. Early water leak detection can help address the problem and avoid further damage. 

Typically, leaks sensors will alert you through visual or audio alarms but what about when you’re not around? This is where smart water leaks or flood detectors come into the picture. This post will cover 10 smart products that will keep you in the loop even when you’re not at home. 

1). Honeywell Lyric WiFi Water Leak & Freeze Detector

The first and probably the best on this list is the Honeywell WiFi Water Leak & Freeze Detector. It is easy to install, features precise humidity and temperature readings, a great companion app, and a corded sensor attachment that increases the detection region up to 50 metres. It does not need a hub and works over Wi-Fi allowing for easy setup. 

2). Govee Wi-Fi Water Sensor Three-Pack

With over 3,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, this smart water sensor pack is one of the best purchases you can make. It is entirely wireless; simply plug it in a socket and connect to your internet. The gateway supports up to 10 sensors, allowing you to cover all of your bases. 

3). D-Link DCH-S161 WiFi Water Sensor

For a mere $50, this water sensor by D-Link will alert you when your water heater, washing machine or sink has a water leak and also trigger other smart gadgets to prevent other forms of damage. 

4). Flo by Moen Smart Water Shutoff

Although it does not come cheap ($840 on Amazon), this smart water meter will monitor water consumption throughout the house, test the system for leaks and prevent water damage with its auto-shutoff feature.

5). LeakSMART Sensor

If you reside in a region prone to floods or your basement has turned into a swimming pool several times, then the LeakSMART sensor is the answer. Unlike other products on this list, the LeakSMART sensor floats, thanks to the watertight seal around the battery section. 

6). Flume 2 Smart Home Water Monitor

This is another smart water monitor and leak detector worth considering. The Flume 2 straps around the water line and connects to a WiFi bridge to notify you if there is a water leak somewhere depending on water flow and pressure. 

In addition, this device can analyse your water consumption and with a Flume Insight subscription, you can get more granular data on faucets and certain appliances, allowing you to create a budget for water usage. 

7). Peril Protect

This is a smart water leak detection product that utilises cellular tech and a call centre to let you know of any leaks. It is relatively easy to install and the sensors are highly responsive. However, it does not interact with third-party smart devices and requires a monthly subscription. 

8). Orbit B-Hyve Flood Sensor

This is a smart sensor that will alert you when a leak appears or when the pipes are at risk of freezing. Similar to Peril Protect, unfortunately, it doesn’t work with third-party smart gadgets. 

9). Kangaroo Water & Climate Sensor

This is another WiFi-enabled smart sensor that not only detects and alerts you of water leaks but monitors temperature and humidity conditions as well. 

10). Phyn Smart Water Sensor

Similar to most devices on this list, you can install the Phyn Sensor anywhere in your house and it will alert you when a leak appears and also when your humidity and temperatures limits have been breached. 

Summary

With these products, you should be able to protect your home from water leaks and damage. It all comes down to the features you really want and your budget.
