Customers say
Customers find the water leak detector works well, is easy to set up, and serves as a valuable insurance policy. The device sends alerts to phones via email and app notifications, and customers appreciate its loud audible alarm. However, connectivity issues are significant, with customers reporting the device disconnects daily and has compatibility problems with Wi-Fi routers. The detection accuracy receives mixed feedback, with some customers reporting successful leak detection while others experience false alarms.

They really work and prevented another disaster at my home!
Last year after having major water leaks, I bought several of these sensors and this week after over a year, this saved another major disaster. One of them went off and although water was not visible, there was a small leak under the fridge that actually damaged the wood. The sensors are very sensitive and even a drop of liquid causes alerts. Unfortunately, I can’t put one under the fridge and had one next to it. Then I got paranoid and went to check my water heater and guess what? The tray was full of water because of a pipe leak. The water was not outside the tray so that is why that sensor did not go off. I was lucky to check the water heater! Another disaster prevented. I highly recommend these.

Great functionality and app but not loud enough
I have other GoVee products so bought this to be able to use the same app. Function wise it works great. There are two weaknesses I see. First off, when it is triggered, it sends a notification in the app. I had tested it when I first got it but failed to clear the alert. So, when it was actually triggered by spraying water from my sump pump, the alert did not go off because it was stuck with the old one. I guess you can’t have two alerts at a time? Second, it is not loud enough. We have these down in our basement and if you are on a second floor room (like when you are sleeping in the middle of the night) you can not hear it. My wife only heard it go off when she was walking by the basement door. Of course if the notification has worked properly, I would have known right away. Thankfully it must have not been going off for long as not that much water had accumulated. My tip is to check the devices int he app to make sure they are online and working. I also noticed that the synch module goes offline a lot though I think that has to do with my WiFi. Because this only works with 2.4ghz, I had to connect it to my Guest network as opposed to my Wifi 6 normal connection. The 2.4ghz seems to catch interference a lot and go down, but it does come back online and the device connects back with no issue. Thankfully I don’t have to reconnect it every time it happens.

Please read my recommendation
I received the item and a box of five more sensors about an hour ago. I am professional at home construction, including the plumbing trade. Here’s what I found.After setting up the first sensor to the internet, I proceeded to place that one under my kitchen sink. I looked under the sink with a flashlight and didn’t notice anything on the bottom of the sink cabinet, so I slid the sensor to the back of the cabinet. On doing so, I felt a dampness on the palm of my hand as I placed the sensor. There was a film of water on the bottom of the cabinet. I waited to see if the sensor would go off, as it did when I tested it by wetting a finger and putting it across two of the terminals on the bottom of the sensor. Well, that film of water did not trip the sensor. Wondering why, I placed the sensor on a flat piece of plastic on my work bench and I could see there is a 1/16 inch or so of space between the sensor probes and the flat plastic sheet I put it on. That’s the problem right there. A film of water on the bottom of a cabinet will not set the sensor off. The probes will not contact the water surface.Here’s what I did. I removed the little rubber plugs from each of the four feet of the sensor. Use a sharp object. I placed the sensor on a piece of sand paper on a very flat surface. Rubbing down on the sand paper I sanded the plastic feet down to the same level of the metal probes under the sensor. Now the probes will touch the surface the sensor is resting on. I tried the sensor under the sink again and it immediately tripped the water alarm. A slow drip will not make a puddle of water in a cabinet. It will most likely coat the bottom of the cabinet as it’s being absorbed into the wood or leaking out at the seems of the cabinet.Something about kitchen cabinets: The bottom of kitchen and bath cabinets is usually made of cheap particle board or some material equally water absorbent. A small drip will not form a puddle of water as you might think. The bottom of the cabinet will absorb a small water leak, like a very slow drip, for MONTHS. Probably until the bottom of the cabinet is ruined. You will be able to tell by the bottom of the cabinet sagging down. But here’s what I do with my sink cabinets. I put a heavy bead of caulk around the edge of the inside of the cabinet where the bottom of the cabinet meets the sides. Then I apply two or three coats of varnish to the bottom of the cabinet (we’re talking INSIDE the cabinet here). What this does is make the bottom of the cabinet somewhat water proof, enough that the cabinet material will not absorb a small leak. And a larger leak will run out the FRONT of the cabinet, rather than down the seams between the bottom and sides of the cabinet. And you will notice it before damage is done.Now, the Govee setup. I did find the setup a little confusing I’ll admit. Especially when setting up to the internet. The app wanted me to connect my phone to the wifi of the gateway unit that comes with the sensor. I’m thinking, do I want to do that? And lose my home wifi on the phone? I ended up backing out of the setup. But going back into the app again, I found it was working. I pushed the buttons as directed and setup the 6 sensors I had without issue. As you do each one, and are looking for it in the app screen, pull down the screen to refresh it and you’ll see the device you connected.I gave four stars because: The directions could be a little more precise with the wifi setup of the gateway. The sensor probes should be lowered to pick up any amount of water.Note: The first sensor I installed saved me a big headache had the dripping fitting decided to break sometime down the road. This one find paid for the sensors I put in today. An overall excellent product. Just sand down the feet.UPDATE: 6/29/21 – I had a sensor alarm in my bathroom vanity sink cabinet. I removed the stuff stored under the sink and didn’t see anything around the sensor. I moved the sensor and carefully felt the area with my fingers. With no visible water, the area felt slightly damp to the touch. I took a closer look at all the plumbing with a flashlight, and sure enough, one sink supply connection was the slightest bit wet. Maybe one drop per hour.My description above on how I modified the sensor probes to touch the surface (floor, etc.) had allowed the unit to alarm well before any water started to puddle and soak into the wood and ruin the cabinet.I highly recommend these water sensors and that you modify them as I suggested above.

After 9 months of use, the gateway keeps on disconnecting without connecting back to the WiFi. Became useless.Contacted the seller for warranty. Was told to contact Govee directly, who said this seller isn’t an authorised one and warranty is void… A joke… Avoid this seller by all means.The product itself is nice. Buy directly from Govee and you’ll be on the safe side.

Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack, Water Leak Detector 100dB Adjustable Alarm and App Alerts, Leak and Drip Alert with Email, Wireless Detector for Home, Basement(Not Support 5G WiFi)These are cost-effective Wi-Fi enabled water leak sensor devices. This pack comes with three wireless sensors that check in to a single Wi-Fi plug-in hub. This type of design allows you to buy many sensors for a cost-effective price. There are other water leak sensors that have Wi-Fi built into the leak sensor itself however the obvious trade-off here is that each of those are typically 40 to $70. With this type of design each water sensor uses a 433 MHz RF signal to the central hub. And the hub itself connects to Wi-Fi using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.Because of the low RF range it is quite capable to be placed pretty much anywhere in your house and reach the Wi-Fi hub.The water detection is very quick and it notifies your phone and sends an email. Within 10 seconds of detection you will get a phone app notification as well as an email and obviously you will hear the siren go off loudly.The water leak sensors have three volume levels for the siren. Basically you would want to set this to the high level. Each of these sensors uses two AAA batteries. The anxiety that one day you will run out of batteries on a sensor is eliminated by the fact that it checks into the app and your phone app displays the battery level of each sensor independently. Each sensor can be labeled to however you want to be descriptive. In order to figure out which sensor is which, you basically trigger the water sensor and the app tells you which one is firing and from that point on you know which sensor to label.This is a very nice water leak detection system not only because it works quickly, but it being wifi enabled to your phone with minimal notification delay, is just invaluable.Disclosure: I own a few dlink water sensors which are all stand alone wifi enabled detectors and they cost 70$ each!!! Quite frankly this govee system works better and notifies you quicker even! I also own non connected water detection sirens..they work great too , you just never know when the battery is dead … And you never know if it’s going off when you’re not home.I recommend this over D-Link and any other non wifi enabled devices. .Hope this helps

My Honeywell/Resideo water leak detectors have given great service for years until recently when one has refused to connect via bluetooth and another has started eating batteries. I thought I’d give the Govee units a try and the price for 3 with the required gateway was WAY below the replacement cost for ONE Resideo. The set up was easy and all 3 units were connected to the app without issue. I saw the issue someone else had with identifying the individual detectors so you can assign the right one to the right place. I just put each one (well, 2 of 3 actually) into alarm mode, saw the code for the one alarming in the notification on the app and assigned it accordingly. Not a big deal and I marked the data in Sharpie on each unit for future reference. I still have 3 Resideos in service and now I have 3 new Govees. I expect to add more Govees as the Resideos age out. Nice, fast notification of alarms on my iPhone. Good product.

Pros- Loud Alarm with 3 volume levels and mute.- Compact and Portable- 1 sensor on top and two on the bottom- works with Alexa- sends email when leak detected- so far now issues when testing. Alarm goes off right away but needs to be about .5mm deep. It won’t go off if it is just on a damp surface.- Decent phone app, but a little overcomplicated for my use case, I just want the sensors support, not all the other smart devices.- Option to add more sensors to the hub (or smart devices).Cons- App does not tell you the battery level of the sensors or even if the sensors are connected. This is really terrible. You’ll need to manually test both of these periodically and I’m sure I’ll forget once the battery actually dies. But note units are supposed to start beeping on low battery.- Battery door has 4 screws you need to remove. I can see one, but four?Comments- Added Alex routine to announce “Water leak detected at Kitchen Sink” to all my echo’s in the house. You’ll need to set this up for each sensor, but it’s great that it works.- You need to create an account. Most devices require this nowadays I find.If you have a water leak (I have), these sensors can easily save you far more than they cost. My buddy had over $20K damage when his fridge water leaked and he was at work.Overall it’s a great set and I got it on prime days for $66 but is regularly around $90. The only thing I really dislike is that it doesn’t tell any information about your sensors (battery, connectivity). I understand that they want to preserve battery life, but even if it only checked once a day that would be fine. I only added one device to start off with (left the battery tab in for the other two). But according to the app all devices were operational, even though 2 had never been connected.
