Get informed of a leak in your home from anywhere in the world. Pair with a smart water valve to shut off your water valve automatically in seconds when a leak is detected. Most people underestimate the amount of sensors they need: put them underneath all sinks, behind toilets, water tanks, behind fridge, under dishwasher, under jacuzzi. It can also be put on the first shelf of the fridge when upper freezer leaks.

With coupon code SPLASH-CAD:
1x Wi-Fi Hub + 4 Sensors $44
1x Wif-Fi Hub +6 Sensors $70.39
3 Sensors $44
5 Sensors $44

​I've never seen such low pricing on the v2. The 5 sensor pack is listed at the same price as the 3 sensor pack (seems like a pricing error). The page mentions it expires in 36 hours (midnight April 3, PST).

The coupon codes known to work with Govee:
TAKE5 $5 off
BOOM 10% off
SPLASH-CAD 12% off

Product Details:
  • This water leak detector is equipped with 2 top sensor probes and 4 bottom sensor probes to detect water leaks and drips. When a water leak occurs, it will activate an alarm up to100dB.
  • App & Email Real-time Alerts when a leak is detected
  • Voice Assistant Reminder via Amazon Alexa
  • Connect up to 100 sensors
  • 1/4 mile Range
  • IP66 Waterproof

These are the Govee coupons mentioned the most by Slickdeals users:

SPLASH-CAD 12% off (confirmed on various sensors, light strips, etc)
BOOM 10% off (confirmed on most products)
TAKE5 $5 off per unit (better than the welcome offer, confirmed on various products)

Get informed of a leak in your home from anywhere in the world. Pair with a smart water valve to shut off your water valve automatically in seconds when a leak is detected.

Best deal combination is Hub+4+5+5. See this post.

Most people underestimate the amount of sensors they need: put them underneath all sinks, behind toilets, water tanks, behind fridge, under dishwasher, under indoor HVAC and AC unit, under jacuzzi. It can also be put on the first shelf of the fridge when upper freezer leaks. Even a small condo can easily use up 8 sensors alone.

- There are no international transaction fees even though Chase says it's international
- This is the v2, not the v1. The main difference is that the range is 5-10x longer. Both support Google Assistant.
- The warranty experience is way better when you buy direct, as opposed through Amazon. It means you can initiate a recall of a defective unit with free shipping directly through the Govee app with one click, and no phone calls or hassle.
- Check with your insurance as they often give substantial discounts for leak sensors and automatic water shutoff valves.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Check with your insurance if they give you a discount. In the Moen valve thread someone noted that their insurance paid for theirs; I checked with mine (Hanover) an they offer $150 discount if you have auto shutoff and $75 discount if you just have sensors. By that time I'd already had them more than a year, but that $75 more than made up for what I paid for 8 sensors + hub,.
Pair these with this water shut off valve to turn the main water line off when water is detected. I did this and it works great.

Govee connect to the Govee Home app
The water shut off connects to the Smart Life app
To allow them to connect together you will need an account with IFTTT.com. They have an applet there that will allow the sensor to trigger the shut off valve to close upon water detection.

The Govee sensors seem to required the Govee Home app to work, I would prefer to have Home Assistant or the Smart Life app control the shut off valve but I haven't yet figured that out yet.

I got the V1 hub and sensors but looks like the gen2 is a lot better.
I did some more research and I'm now leaning toward the Yolink system instead. Battery life looks to be much better (5 years with two AAA batteries), water sensors have "rope" version for confined spaces (fridge, dishwasher), and they have shutoff valve available for integration. Anyone with experience with both systems can speak to their pros and cons?

Much appreciated. I just bought on Amazon for $20 more and then came across your post. Cancelled Amazon order and bought on Govee.

Solid deal. I remember not long ago the had the first version on sale for around the same price. $10 a sensor. Glad I waited. Wanted the two just didn't think I would see it go on sale anytime soon.

I purchased the last week's deal which it comes with three sensors for like 30 some dollars and if you want it a fourth sensor you would pay a little bit more so I'm returning those and getting this one instead because I think this is a second generation where the other ones are the previous model the 5040 ones.

Previous deal.

I also had some issue connecting to my Android and tethering the sensors to the hub. what I did is I used an iOS device instead and that fixed it and tested it it works out pretty good.

you would want to drop this under your sink dishwasher laundry room garage or whatever there's water I guess and I'll have to check with my insurance company and see if they'll send me anything

Cannot speak for v2 but v1 battery life was terrible and couldn't hook up to any smart home system. Yolink hooks up to alexa and I believe Home Assistant as well. The battery life on yolink is excellent

So this doesn't work with Home Assistant?

I have not found a way to integrate this in home assistant but it isn't really needed since these are just set it and forget it devices. It isn't something that needs monitored or adjusted over time

I've been using the V1 for 1.5 years and V2 since October and battery in both is still going strong. The Govee V2 is very impressive compared to Yolink, it is much more sensitive.

It is not better. It's just a different ecosystem. I've tried Govee, Yolink, Smartthings, etc. The Govee sensors have a much more stable connection and are more sensitive to water detection.
