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.

It supports 100 sensors. V1 supports 10 sensors.

Why would get you H+6+5 when you can get H+4+5+5?? You get 3 more sensors at $6 each.

Is that easy to install or did you hire a pro?

Would this be posted online typically or are you calling your insurance company?

Whoa. This is well over $100, maybe $200, less than the other name brand I've seen posted. A plumber needs to install this, correct?

Thanks so much

I don't know, but I don't think you'll ever replace the battery. My V1 is still going strong after 1.5 years and V2 has twice the battery life. It's cheap enough to be disposable.

It is not hard to install. I did it myself and you don't need much more than a screwdriver. As long as you have a water main shutoff that is a ball valve, you aren't replacing any valves or opening up the plumbing so a plumber wouldn't be the right person to call if you are not inclined to do it yourself.

Do these send a notification when the Wifi Disconnects? In such event that there is an internet/power outtage?

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
I've been running V1s for years now (I've got probably about 20). Absolutely zero issues with battery life (most run well over a year/sensor and the app also reports relative amount of battery left), and all of mine are discovered in Alexa. Some I have specific Alexa routines built around as well.

Aside from all the previous recommendations on where to place these, if you have hydronic baseboard heating (aka hot water rads) be sure to put at least one under each section. For long runs, or where there may be previous repairs and/or fittings, put additional sensors for added security.
