YoLink Water Leak Sensor 2,1/4 Mile World's Longest Range Smart Home Water Leak Sensor,Water Leak Detector with Built-in Siren Up to 105dB,Works with Alexa and IFTTT-YoLink Hub Required,YS7904-UC

I've been a little paranoid about my sump pump recently. I have three pumps in my sump well, a primary pump with its built-in vertical float sensor, a secondary backup pump with a vertical float sensor positioned so that it will not activate unless the primary pump stops working, and a 12-volt pump that runs off a 100 amp-hour AGM battery kept charged using a battery tender. This 12-volt sump pump is my pump of last resort in case of a power outage, and its float will not activate unless the sump water level gets above both the primary and secondary pumps. With this setup, it's not easy to tell when my primary sump pump stops working. This YoLInk Water Leak Sensor 3 solves this problem. The sensor comes with a water sensor probe, which I did not use. For sump wells, they suggest that you use a float switch instead of the included probe since the probe terminals could become covered with mineral deposits and reduce their water detection sensitivity. I ordered the 'Level Sense 15 Feet Water Level Float Switch with Mounting Bracket' from Amazon and it works perfectly for this sump well application. I just had to wire in a standard 3.5mm male plug to the end of the float switch wires to be able to plug into the YoLInk Water Leak Sensor. The YoLink Water Leak Sensor requires the use of an inexpensive central hub (I bought the YoLInk SpeakerHub). It communicates with the hub by use of a long-range radio that has up to a 1/4 mile range and uses very little power. The two standard AA batteries in the Water Leak Sensor should last for one to two years. Setup was quick and easy. You just install the YoLink App onto your cell phone, plug in the hub anywhere in your house, and connect it to your home WiFi. Then you can easily add the Water Leak Sensor to your system by scanning the QR code on the sensor. The YoLink ecosystem has many different types of sensors, alarm speakers, switches, etc. for constructing very elaborate home automation systems. This Water Leak Sensor is a good introduction to this ecosystem, and I'll certainly be considering other home automation options. I attached the small Water Level Float Switch in my sump well so that it would not activate unless the sump water level rose above the normal maximum level permitted by my primary sump pump (but below the level where my secondary sump pump would activate). Now, if my primary sump pump stops working, I receive both an email alert as well as an app notification on my cell phone letting me know that the primary sump pump has stopped working. You can also set up the app to text you an alert, which I have not yet done since you are limited to 25 free SMS texts per month. Since the YoLInk system is compatible with Alexa, I also have all my Alexa devices announce that my primary sump pump has stopped working (easily done with an Alexa routine). In addition, I have set up my YoLInk system to notify me when the float switch opens back up, since this tells me that my secondary pump has run successfully, giving me peace of mind. The YoLInk Water Level Sensor is an elegant method by which to monitor my sump pumps. Now, no matter where I am, I'll know if my primary pump has failed and needs attention as well as whether my secondary backup pump has successfully run. I'm also impressed with the entire YoLInk ecosystem.

This sensor, that can work by itself or also works along with the YoLink suite of sensors is unique in that it uses a cloth like braided material surrounding a long sensor element that when the second it gets wet sounds an audible alarm and if you have it configured with their app it will send you text and / or email alerts every 5 minutes or so. You can place it around the bottom of a water heater or sink cabinet or A/C pan to cover a larger area so a leak can be detected as early as possible. If you need to cover a larger area you can link more sensor cables together, although I have not tried this or have not seen where you buy extra lengths of sensor cable. Of course, I did test the sensor and it reacts to even a drop of water and once the sensor cable gets wet is will alarm for quite a while even if you have tried to dry it with a towel. So I thought since this was just a test that I would just unplug the sensor cable and wait for it to dry out,,,, at which point, it started sending me texts every five minutes that the sensor cable was unplugged. Now while annoying, I thought that was pretty genius on the designers part since you would really like to know if the sensor had become unplugged (Think, for example, if you had moved some items underneath a sink and it pulled it out), well the sensor would no longer be viable but you wouldn't know until the water was running across the floor. Not with this little device as it will send you a notification. I have only had the system in place for two months (they also have other sensors available) and the battery levels are all still indicating full so I have not seen how well that feature works as it is supposed to track the battery level of the sensors. ( not sure if it sends an alert about low battery level) All in all, this is a slick set of sensors and while the app is a little bit clunky to get everything named and organized, once it is setup it is transparent. I hope this company can stay around to help support their product and possibly add other sensors to their repertoire.

The rope is very sensitive and reusable. The range will be reduced by walls and other obstructions. A couple of my sensors are at their range limit at 400 feet through building walls and nestled beside equipment. Overall a well built product and great value. I now have 11 installed in my apartments and already one has help me respond quickly and avoid expensive damage repair.

These, combined with the full house shutoff, have already saved my butt. I had a sight glass crack on my boiler, and I would've woken up to a huge mess, but this shut off the water, and I just woke up to no heat, and a tiny little puddle directly next to the boiler. Terrific product and works reliably.

I have become a YoLink super fan. I started with some basic sensors and I wanted one behind my fridge but it didn't fit and this is the perfect solution. Also would be great if you want to cover a larger area than the small squares - the entire cord is sensitive to water (believe me, I tested it!) The one problem with this one is that the cord soaks up water when it gets wet, and it will keep alerting to water until it is dry. You cannot just dry it off like you can with the square sensors. So when the water line behind my fridge leaked, this sensor caught it (and I never would have known about the leak otherwise, so this is great!) but I had to delete the sensor from my YoLink app to get it to stop alerting me at 4:30 in the morning. It would be SO simple to add an option in the app to acknowledge the alert pause the alarm for a set time period. The whole YoLink system is so easy to use. You need one Hub, plug it into your router, set up your free account, then just scan the QR code on each device and it will add to your app no problem. There are lots of different options for notifications. Water damage can destroy a house so fast and cost a fortune for restoration, to me these sensors are worth their weight in gold, and the fact that they are so reasonably priced and accessible is just icing on the cake.

Installed this around/under our washing machine. It was a bit difficult to hang the sensor and then string the cable in the tight space around the washer without moving it. The cable was long enough to run around the back of the washer where the water hoses are attached. It might be a good idea to get the add-on cable so we could extend it to the front of the washer as well. Overall, I'm happy with the YoLink system: easy to set up, attractive, effective, and reasonably priced.

I do not often write reviews, but the YoLink sensors have been a great addition. Today, 12/3/2023, I was out and about. I received a notification on my phone that a leak was detected in the crawlspace. When I got home and went into the crawlspace I found water in the reported location (I use a naming convention so I know the type and location of the sensors). The leak was a slow drip and the water had pooled. Once the "tail" of the S2 sensor was wet I received the alert. This was a very slow leak and it took some time for the water to build up to touch the "tail". Sometimes it is hard to get the tail to lay perfectly flat. I try to place them in lower areas too. Perhaps if a simple change like rolling the "tail" sensor vs folding them would help, but I really can't complain. They are easy enough to straighten out. I mean how many times to do go into the crawlspace in a give year. A handful? So these play an important role in being proactive. I have looked at other sensors that are cheaper, but I do like the ecosystem and they are very reliable. I have water sensors (S1's and S2's) at key points in the crawlspace to detect this very thing. The battery life is amazing. They have been deployed for over a year and they still report having full batteries. It would have take a long time for us to know that we had a slow leak. That is if we found it in the first place. Like I said before we do not often go into the crawlspace or attic. So for what is worth these add value. I do wish they were priced a bit lower though. In my case I have Yo-Link sensors in the following areas: 1) S1 - Crawlspace 2) S2 - Crawlspace 3) Motion Sensor - Mailbox 4) Temp and Humidity - Crawlspace (to help monitor the duhimidifier) and Attic 5) Outdoor Power Outlet - This allows for the remote control of the pump in the water feature (schedule control). Last year the water froze and part of the feature broke and had to be replaced. So I got this and am able to change the schedule when it is going to freeze. On the second plug I put an aquarium water heater stick that I can turn on to help keeping the water to freeze. The combination was way cheaper than other options. 6) Vibration Sensor (available on the YoLink site) - I am going to buy one of these to put on the dehumidifier in the crawlspace. We had an error that we did not notice for about two weeks. This can trigger an alert in the absence of any vibration. I am going to give this a shot too once I save some money.

We have the sensors everywhere there's water and LOVE that these extend their reach. They are super sensitive to a droplet of water and have saved us many times!

I purchased the hub and 4 sensors-great investment! There is no monitoring charge. The sensors run through the hub/base. I used water sensors for my sum pumps, floor drain and on floor to detect any water. Everything has been tested and works well. If any water is detected, the hub/base will beep, sensor will beep and my phone will notify me. This is excellent for peace of mind and also no monthly fees!

Useless,

مستشعر انخفاض مستوى المياه عن حد معين او محدد ، مثل التسرب غير مناسب للخزان الأرضي لمعرفة مستوى المياه الحالي، هو فقط مستشر للتسرب والانخفاض

This is only one of the line of YoLink products that we purchased and all of them are very reliable, easy to operate and recommended! This one I'm using as alert for sump pump. Hi availability, long range coverage and reliability. Various scenarios can be programmed and alarms will be received. Shareable monitoring.
