Govee WiFi Water Sensor 2 Pack, Smart Water Leak Detector, 100dB Adjustable Alarm Suit for Home and Basement, Water Leak Alert with Email & APP Push (Only Support 2.4G Wi-Fi)

There are several reviews that are negatively rating the company. They also stated that the product does not working on eero network.1. Company Customer Service: the company is very prompt with responding to questions. Furthermore, I had a Govee access gateway go defective and the company was prompt with replacing the item. We went through all the typical troubleshooting steps.2. This product DOES WORK WITH EERO. Somebody made a comment that it does not work on 5 or 6 gHz, but only 2.4 gHz. That much is true. All you have to do is temporarily disable your Eero 5-6 gHz before configring your gateway.3. Very loud siren. It will wake you from any deep sleep.

I have been struggling with an undiagnosed and intermittent leak from my dishwasher. We are leaving for vacation and I was stressed. What if?! I found this Govee Wifi Water Detector and thought I would give it a try.Installation and Connecting to the Hub: No brainer. Similar to other connected home devices so the process should be familiar to you. Don't over think it and it works great. I downloaded the Govee Home app to my Pixel 6 and it worked as expected. Relatively intuitive. I have no issues with the interface nor the included printed instructions.Functionality: I needed to KNOW that these worked (I got two) so I tested both of them. I even took my phone off of my home wifi network when I tested the alerts. I put a small amount of water under the probes and an alarm sounded. Instantaneously I received an alert on my phone via the mobile network. If I am away from home, good to go! Just don't forget to leave a key for your friend to get in and address the water issue.The audible alarm is plenty loud at the high setting (default). Leave it there. Shuts off temporarily when the button on the face of the device is pushed. Remove it from the water source and dry and no more alarm.Proximity to the hub seems very reasonable. I plugged the hub in closer to my router and there are at least four walls and a floor between the hub and one of the devices. No issue.Price: Well worth it. It is going to cost me several hundred to repair the few flooring planks so this is much cheaper.Things to Consider1. Get the wifi version with the hub. What is the point if you are not home when the washer hose breaks?2. To my knowledge this does not integrate with Google Home or Alexa. These connected home devices should really be universal in their integration with at least those platforms.3. My purchase had two leak detecting units only identifed by their model number and four more digits. I triggered each one individually and saw which was which by the notification. Small inconvenience and easily solved. I renamed them for their location.Overall, super happy.

Price has nearly doubled on both my preferred brands of leak sensors so upon deciding to add additional sensors I decided to try Govee because I very much like the idea of having an audible alarm in addition to text, they are affordable (I need 10!) and I’m having a 4+ star experience with the Govee temperature sensors. The water sensors seem to work so far but not all is great.- documentation for setting up is okay but could be better. Documentation for integration into smart(ish) home network is virtually non-existent.- I have no way of measuring decibels but the alarms sound isn’t very loud and unlikely to hear it from across the house or from a different level of the house.- I really like my new mesh WI-FI that automatically figures out whether to connect via 2.4 vs 5ghz. However the Govee gateway required with these sensors wouldn’t connect so I needed to dumb down my new network to split the 5 and 2.4 ghz networks to get it to connect. At some point will configure an old router to act as a 2.4ghz access point strictly for these sensors but what a pain….- as I mentioned I have numerous sensors to configure but sitting here with 10 of them stacked in front of me (because to connect to gateway you need physical access to the gateway) and there is no convenient way to know which sensor corresponds to which device entry in the app. Sure, not particularly difficult to resolve but it could have been much better.- sitting here watching the gateway it seems to occasionally lose connection then regain. It is 10ft away from the router and microwave oven and other typical interferences not applicable. I haven’t lowered rating because of this but is something I’ll keep an eye on before trusting these.I’m starting with 4 star but wouldn’t take much to drop it to 3.

I would definitely recommend and buy again if in the same position.Bought a set of two and then an expansive set of five for 7 total. That might seem like a lot, but isn't. One for under both bath sink cabinets; one behind both toilets; one for the kitchen sink cabinet; one for the laundry room; and finally one behind the fridge for the water line. We were finishing up a major renovation and something convinced me these might be a good idea. Think about it. How long would it leak under a sink before you would notice? Would the cabinet shelf or bottom get ruined? And behind your fridge? When would you notice that leak? So I bought 7 total. In the 4-5 years since, I have had 5 or 6 alarms. All but one was legit. The one anomaly was notifying that the battery was low. Not all leaks were just water. The first alarm - happened the first day and we were no home - was because the dryer hose had come off and was filling the room with hot moist air. It was enough to set the alarm off. And once, I had a hair spray can spring a leak under.a bathroom sink. How often does that happen? So yes, I would definitely recommend these for anyone. The faster you know about a leak, the faster you can prevent damage. The ability to get a notice on the app when not at home is a must. Alarm is loud and the app notification works well. The battery life is good. I've only replaced once recently after 4-5 years. The app tells you the battery level, so you can plan ahead and check periodically.

Seems to work well when everything is connected, but it's kind of pointless because there is no indicator when the sensor has been disconnected or if the battery is low.As a test I simply removed the batteries and in the app it still shows connected and full battery. I also put in some low batteries, it still shows full battery.A notification for when a sensor disconnects and also for low battery would be bare minimum to really be reliable. The app should also show the correct status of the sensor.Maybe this is an easy fix in firmware or the app, either way I will give a little time but if it isn't fixed within return window I will likely have to switch to a different make that has some of these basic features.Edit: Support was no help and didn't offer any solutions, they said if the it loses connection it will show disconnected in the app.. I have found this to be FALSE.I've had these in place for about two weeks now. I decided to test one and while the alarm went off I got NO notifications. Went into the app and it shows connected and full battery but no alarms.Had to unplug the hub and plug it back in to restart it, then I tested the alarm again and it showed a notification. If the hub somehow disconnects or if a sensor disconnects there is NO indication in the app of an issue. This makes the product extremely unreliable unless you someone is close by to hear the alarm.
