I've been using the SimpliSafe water sensor for the past 10 months, and I can confidently say it has been a game-changer in protecting my home. Living in an area prone to unexpected leaks and water damage, having a reliable sensor is crucial, and SimpliSafe has truly delivered on its promise.
From the moment I set it up, the process was seamless. The instructions were clear, and the device paired effortlessly with my SimpliSafe security system. The compact design allows for versatile placement, fitting seamlessly into various spaces throughout my home.
What sets this water sensor apart is its consistent and accurate performance. Not once in the past 10 months has it given a false alarm or failed to detect a potential issue. It's the silent guardian that works tirelessly in the background, giving me the peace of mind I need to go about my daily life without worrying about hidden water threats.
The mobile app integration is another standout feature. I receive instant notifications on my phone whenever the sensor detects water, allowing me to address the issue promptly. This real-time communication has saved me from potential disasters and expensive repairs, proving the value of investing in a reliable water sensor.
Durability is another factor worth noting. Despite being exposed to various environmental conditions, the SimpliSafe water sensor has held up impeccably, showcasing its quality build and robust design.
In conclusion, after 10 months of flawless performance, I can wholeheartedly recommend the SimpliSafe water sensor to anyone seeking a trustworthy and effective solution for protecting their home from water damage. It's a small investment that pays off in immense peace of mind and potentially prevents costly repairs. I have placed a total of 5 sensors throughout my house. Thank you, SimpliSafe, for delivering a product that exceeds expectations!

I tried out the water sensor by pouring water on the floor and having it flow into its path. The sensor was triggered instantly and we also received a call from Simplisafe with 30 secs of the sensor going off. I was pleasantly surprised and glad to have these under the dish washer and washing machine.

Super easy to install - just place it where needed to alarm for water leaks. I placed it in the laundry room next to the washer.

As a homeowner, one of my fears is water leaks. I have had 1 water leak that cost me thousands and took months to completely repair. So when I chose SimpliSafe as my home security system, offering a water sensor for such an inexpensive price was one of the deciding factors.
Installing the water sensor is about as easy as it can get. Go to the control pad, select "Add a new device", remove the battery slip and push the button on the sensor. Once it registers (only a few seconds), you can name it and then place it on the floor where you want protection.
How does it work? Well, a spilled cup of water in our kitchen immediately set off the water sensor, but mopping the floors and hitting the sensor does not. This is a good thing because an overactive sensor is useless because you can never tell if it is a real alarm.
I currently have 4 water sensors installed and have 3 more to add to completely cover my home. The first three have been in the system for about 6 months. The SimpliSafe water sensor is inexpensive compared to other options and works like a charm.

These sensors are small enough to fit in tight spaces and being wireless are super easy to move. They don't stick down or attach to anything, just set it where you're concerned about water. Because they are often buried behind things maintaining a connect far from the base could be an issue. I have one that has lost connection a couple times but then finds it again in less than a minute. Great piece of mind.

I recently purchased a SimpliSafe Home Security System for my apartment and was amazed how truly simple it was and it came with this sensor as a free bonus. I placed this one floor in my laundry room next to the hot water heater and washer/dryer unit. I tested it by placing a small amount of water o the floor and it passed with flying colors.

Good thing to have around to alert you of a leak. It's small enough to conceal and will alert your system if any amount of water is detected.

We will see. Haven’t had a leak yet so I don’t know if they work. However, it was just as easy as the other devices to set up.
I think it is extremely important to have water detectors as I have had $200,000 worth of damage in the past due to a leaking fitting, and I had a leaking water heater once that was caught with a leak detector.
I have leak detectors (some zircon) at my homes. Worth the peace of mind.

This is a small but very effective water sensor. If you already have the SimpleSafe this is a must to add it on. It will prevent costly repairs by giving you a warning when a leak is detected. I have several of these setup under the kitchen and laundry sinks, behind the washing machine and under the water heater.

Great little sensors!! As with the entire system, they are easy to set up. Be careful when you are initially setting them up. They are VERY sensitive and after they are set up in the system they can easily trigger an alarm from the moisture in your skin. So once set up, don't touch the contact points on the bottom. Better to put in place and then set up.

I already had two of these, one for the laundry room and one for the sump pump, and wanted one more for the water heater. I've heard stories of people saving thousands in repairs because they caught leaks early with the help of these sensors. I don't have personal experience with that but my peace of mind is worth the cost of purchase.

I bought this for incase my pipes burst, or my water heater started leaking. I was skeptical about it working at first, but I will say it definitely does work. I decided to test it with a cup of water after I connected it to my system. I thought I had put my system in test mode, but quickly found out I hadn't when the monitoring service started calling me as soon as the device triggered. Simply dry the underside of the device very good, and it's ready to use again and again. I feel better knowing I have a better chance at stopping the water damage if something happens, before it gets way too costly.

super easy to set up, works great. Easy to connect to my existing simplisafe setup with easy integration into my app/settings. Better price than buying directly from simplisafe too. i have several of these and have helped me identify water issues in a vacation home that i otherwise would have missed

Replaced a bad water softener, and added this device just in case. Great price, and Easy to install. Just pull out the battery tab and hit button, system recognizes it and simply add it to your security system. No worries if I have a leak or a complete water line breakage simpli-safe will notify me. Silly not to have it.

Easy to add to my SimpliSafe home alarm system and ease of mind that I’ll get a notification on my smartphone if my sump pump ever fails and basement starts to flood. Cheap piece of mind.
