YoLink Water Leak Starter Kit: Hub + 2 Leak Sensor 1 (Silent), LoRa Long-Range, App/SMS/Email Alerts, D2D Offline Triggers, 2 AAA Up to 5-Year Battery, Compatible with Alexa/IFTTT/Home Assistant

I bought this leak starter kit after dealing with a small leak under the sink that turned into a big cleanup job with a new cabinet...lol. I wanted something simple and reliable this time, and so far this system has been exactly that. Setup was super easy. I plugged the hub into my router, opened the app, and it basically did the rest. Each sensor paired with one button press. I had everything installed in maybe 10–15 minutes for entire house. What I like most is that these don’t depend on Wi-Fi. I’ve got one sensor tucked behind a toilet, another under the kitchen sink, and even one in a spot where my Wi-Fi normally dies... and every sensor still connects with no issues. I tested all four sensors with a damp paper towel, and they alerted instantly. I get notifications on my phone and email, which is great for when I’m not home. A big plus for me is the battery life. These use simple AAA batteries, but they’re supposed to last years, not months. And the app actually shows the battery level for each sensor, so you’re not guessing. It’s nice to know you won’t get blindsided by a dead sensor right when you need it. The sensors feel solid and the app is straightforward. Honestly, this setup has already given me more peace of mind than anything else I’ve tried.

This is a great product! RARELY, almost never, do I submit product reviews. However, I purchased the YoLink kit to monitor the home while I am away for an extended period. I received an alert on a water leak to my 2nd floor HVAC unit, and was able to quickly mitigate the issue. I just bought a second kit to monitor a second home. Simple, easy, and effective!

Really happy with the YoLink Water Leak Starter Kit! I’ve been using this setup for more than 6 months now and couldn’t be happier with the results. The real-time alerts through the app provide great peace of mind, especially when I’m away from home. On top of that, the device itself sounds a loud alarm when it detects a leak, so you’re still alerted even if you miss the app notification. Setup was easy and it has been working reliably since day one. Highly recommended for anyone looking to protect their home from water damage.

The YoLink Water Leak Starter Kit (Hub + 4 Sensors) is a top-tier choice for reliable, long-range flood protection.

The YoLink Smart Home Water Leak Starter Kit is the ultimate peace-of-mind purchase for every homeowner. The system uses powerful LoRa technology, giving you an industry-leading 1/4-mile range so sensors placed in basements, under sinks, or in detached garages will always connect. The moment a leak is detected, you get instant SMS/Text, email, and app alerts, ensuring you are notified whether you're at work or out of town. Best of all, it keeps working—and sending alerts—even during a Wi-Fi or power outage, making it the most reliable protection against water damage. My only issue was that the app gives you a free monthly limit on the text alert, after that, the app will require a subscription.

I bought these sensors, for some peace of mind. I wanted to buy ones that had long range, and as I have heard from other reviews and articles, this LoRa technology promises, exactly that. The hub was easy to add to the app, and then leak sensors themselves were even easier to add; all I had to do was push a button at the bottom, and they were immediately discovered by the hub. From there, it was relatively simple to add them into Home Assistant. Although this took a couple of tries. So far, in a couple of weeks that I have owned them, connectivity has remained rock solid. If this continues to be the case, I think I am going to splurge and buy their local hub. Although it costs $200, it allows for 100% local control and management of the sensors, without the need for the cloud, which I really appreciate, as I try to make sure that all my smart devices are locally controlled. All in all, I find this sensors to be a good purchase, and their reliability so far gives me peace of mind that they will work if and when I ever need them to.

I purchased multiple components for this YoLink system for my new-to-me home. I have the base unit (actually a couple because I bought so many sets) and temperature sensors for my fridge & both freezers, and seven water leak sensors. (Two bathroom sinks, kitchen sink, under both toilets, under my washer hook ups, and in the drip pan for my water heater.) Well, since I installed them in December 2024, the sensors have alerted me to multiple leaks (multiple kitchen sink leaks for different reasons, master bath toilet supply line, master bath sink). I’ve been alerted several times to different fridge and freezer alerts (door left ajar and freezer was defrosting so I could’ve lost all my meat, fridge temp went too high and food was at risk). More than once I got these alerts. I get alerts sent to my phone as a text, an email, and the base unit has an audible alarm and the text is read out to tell me what the alarm is for. I cannot recommend these systems and components more highly!!! I’ve saved so much money, hassle and time by having these installed. Installation is SIMPLE and the directions are well written. I had all the sensors up and running in literally under an hour, from unboxing to all ten sensors connected and alerts configured. This app is well laid out and easy to manage. I have not yet run into where I would need to pay for the service. I’m using just the “free” allotment of alerts. If need be, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for the service because this has PAID FOR ITSELF many times over. Please save yourself money, headaches, and give yourself peace of mind. If you have a property where you leave it vacant for periods of time (vacation rental or seasonal property) YOU NEED THESE!! Heck, I live here and it’s saved my bacon time and again (pardon the pun).

These sensors are well made and easy to use. The setup is was very straightforward and the app interface is simple and easy. I tested the sensors and they worked instantly alerting of water. Luckily haven’t had a water leak to set them off for real, but feel confident in this product. YoLink support is very good as well, I reached out to ask about their water shutoff products and they were very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend there products.
