GoveeLife Upgraded Smart Water Leak Detector 1s with High Alarm, 5 Pack

I purchased this smart water leak detector 3-pack to safeguard my home against potential plumbing failures, and it has provided instant peace of mind. The gateway hub is incredibly compact, plugs seamlessly into a standard outlet without blocking the second plug, and paired with my home network on the very first try. The sensors themselves are highly sensitive to even a few drops of water, and the audible alarm is piercingly loud—easily loud enough to wake you up or hear from another floor. The wireless range is excellent, and receiving instant push notifications directly to my phone ensures I can protect my property even when I am away from home. Highly recommend this kit for anyone looking for reliable, budget-friendly leak protection!

Easy set up and link to network. Piercingly loud alarm locally when water is present and also sends texts to your phone immediately upon detection of water. App is easy to use and intuitive. I installed 5 of these discretely throughout the home, unfortunately AFTER a back up into basement of the house that caused $25k in damage. Highly recommend these units.

Installed a new fridge that kept leaking due to copper pipes in my home. After the third leak in two weeks my dad suggested these water alarms which I didn’t even know existed. Purchased the pack of five alarms. Super easy to set everything up. Took maybe 15 minutes to set them up and place them in their respective places. Gives you options to set alarm volume, email alerts, text message alerts, and notification options on your phone. Tested the sensitivity of the alarm and after only a few drops of water the alarm went off so they work very well and you’ll know there’s a leak way before it’s a significant amount of water. So far I love it but I will come back in a bit to update if anything changes :)

This water leak detector was incredibly easy to set up and had me up and running in just a few minutes. The instructions were straightforward, the device connected without any issues, and the app integration was seamless. Most importantly, it works exactly as intended. The sensor responds quickly when water is detected, and the alerts are timely and reliable, providing peace of mind when I'm away from home. It's a simple but effective device that does its job well. If you're looking for a dependable water leak detector that's easy to install and requires minimal effort to get started, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

We had a basement sewage flood several months ago, that cost tens of thousands of dollars in total, between replacing our sewage pipe and getting our basement back to how it originally was. It was an incredibly stressful time, to say the least. We don't go in our basement very often, a handful of times a week or so. That's how it was able to happen in the first place. These sensors could've REALLY saved us if we had them. So after that happened, it was a no-brainer to buy these leak detectors, and put them everywhere, but particularly the basement. Not even a month later, our kitchen faucet started leaking, and immediately the sensor went off. It is LOUD. It also sent me an alert to my phone, along with an email. The leak had barely just started, and I had already set down a waterproof liner, so there was no damage, and we replaced the faucet ourselves that night. Granted this would've been a lot cheaper to repair than a basement sewage flood, but it still would've been a huge hassle, especially if it warped our cabinets or wooden flooring. I AM SO GLAD we have these now. Well worth the money and peace of mind.

Very easy to set up. REQUIRES 2.4 Ghz WiFi will NOT work with 5 G. Added a total of 11 sensors to the base. Process was very simple and they seem very solidly built and of excellent quality.

This Govee product appears to work as advertised. If you will allow me a few minutes of your time, I will ramble a bit and share my thoughts/experiences with this water leak detector product. I noticed other reviewers have had similar experiences as I. It took me awhile to make everything work (with the help of their customer service), but I finally did. First off, I'm being generous when I say their “user manual” is limited. Manufacturers must be competing to see who can create the smallest manual. Ink and paper must be very expensive, hence the small pages and tiny print. After downloading and installing their app, and paying close attention to the instructions, I managed to get the sensors paired with the gateway. As you add a new sensor, make sure you rename it to something that makes sense to you, like... “hot water heater”. After all the sensors are paired, you will see icons for each sensor when you open the app. Here's what they don't tell you... You MUST enable the gateway AND each individual sensor to send “email” alerts. In the gateway settings page I did turn on the “Email alert” and checked the “Send to account email” box, thinking this would turn on the email alerts. NOT enough. You have to do this for all sensors. Otherwise, no email alerts. Why? I don't know. Would you want some sensors NOT to alert you of a leak? Seems like setting the gateway to send alerts should have been enough. Test all sensors to make sure they are working and you are indeed receiving emails. You can test them by simply wetting your finger tip and wiping the contacts on the top of the sensor. They do make a loud shrill sound. You'll definitely hear it. To stop it, I just wiped the sensor against my shirt until the contacts were dry. Do all this testing in one location, then you can distribute them accordingly. I found an unused, and likely not to be used, outlet location to plug the gateway into. It is somewhat centrally located to all the sensors, and about 25 feet from my wifi router. All my sensors showed four bars of battery strength, except one. It showed only three. I installed new batteries in it to bring it up to four bars. Time will tell how long the batteries actually last. I'll monitor the sensor batteries from time to time, and when they drop to two bars, I may replace all the batteries just to be safe. It will be fun retrieving them given the location of a couple of them... like under the dishwasher and behind the washing machine. After disributing everything, I repeated the "wet finger" test on the sensors to ensure the walls and other stuff didn't interfere with their function. All was well. Now, although I was able to get the email alerts to work, I couldn't get the “text message” alerts to work. No text messages. Then I reached out to the Govee customer service (again), and they helped me. There is another “on” switch in the settings of the sensor called “Message alert”. I just missed it (was looking for a “Text alert”. My bad.) Anyway, after turning this switch on, and entering my cell phone number... it worked! As it turns out, you only have to turn the switch on for one sensor. All the other sensors will automatically be set up. Now... everything works great. Although they state otherwise, this system is working fine on my 5G home network. Also, the little book states “Ensure there are no obstructions between the gateway and the detector”. Don't know about this warning since “walls” and “appliances” would be considered “obstructions”. I have a sensor behind my washing machine, under the kitchen sink, under the dishwasher, and in the basement under the hot water heater. (I haven't placed one behind the refrigerator yet.) There are obviously walls, metal, and distance between the gateway and the sensors, and they all work fine. Now, I want to give a shout out to the Govee customer service team. While trying to get the email/text alerts to work, I exchanged a couple of emails with Mandy, and she was very responsive and courteous. Wish all customer service representatives were this way.

Over the past two months I’ve had two water-related emergencies, and both times a Govee water leak detector made the difference between a minor fix and a major problem. The first incident involved an old copper kitchen faucet that started leaking directly onto an electrical outlet. I had one of these sensors from a few years earlier sitting nearby. The alarm went off immediately, I shut the water off, and we avoided any damage to the cabinets, floor, or the ceiling/basement below. The second event was even more dramatic. At 3:57 a.m. my phone received three push notifications. I didn’t hear them at the time, but when I woke up at 5:30 and saw them I went straight to the basement. A freak accident had blocked the sump pumps and water was already starting to come in. Because of the early warning we were able to get things under control and essentially save everything. After these two close calls we bought a new multipack so we could place more sensors around the house. Setup in the Govee app is extremely straightforward, simple and effective. For the price, these little sensors have already paid for themselves many times over. Highly recommended.

These seem to work pretty well! I already had the Govee Home app, when I plugged the hub in it was instantly there to add. Fill in wifi details and done. Turning on each of the sensor units and they instantly popped up ready to go into that hub in the app. I tested each of them by dipping them in a shallow bit of water, they all alarmed audibly and notified in the app - I had set it to be a “critical alert” so it will sound and show on my (iOS) lock screen even during do not disturb times, that worked perfectly and was easy to do. It can also email an alert, which also worked perfectly! So easy to get from unboxing to done, and now I hope to never hear from them again - until their battery is low at least. Which the app will alert me about in five years - slick!

Very easy set up. Works great.

This is the second group I've bought for these. I find them highly reliable. I was overseas for half a year and rented my place out and was notified by email any time the sensors went off (mostly just due to a little water during cleaning.) They did give a loud warning recently when my washing machine flooded and we definitely got to deal with it faster.

Very good product works efficiently.. I installed three of them in my house after testing them.. sensor is very sensitive my toddler left it on a wet towel and it started beeping.. device beeps , plus there is a notification on phone updating where is leak plus plug in device also sound alarm.. alarm is sharp enough to wake you up from sleep.. installation is simple and easy.. installation of app and understanding it takes a few hours but not hard.. the only reason I gave it 4 star is because it takes some time to detect water and sound alarm, like 5 minutes, and in case of emergency every second matters.. overall great product..

Excellent product - relatively easy to set up. Pretty good price.
