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.

https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-...B0CB3NZH19

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.

Would this be posted online typically or are you calling your insurance company?
I have an independent agent so I just emailed her.

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.
The biggest issue with v1 is that the battery can die/signal with the hub gets lost without a related warning. I had missed a leak from this specific reason

$25K to remove carpet and 2ft of drywall/insulation, dry the place out, and put in new carpet for a 1100 sqft basement. Well worth the price, but I have the moen sensor on my sump pump plug (and not a back up water pressure powered pump) that actually calls me if there is a problem

Yes, for small leaks anyway, it's just continuity between two metal probes. Dry it off and it will stop alerting. (Possibly not if it was totally submerged)

That also has not been the case for me.

Not only does it do a loud series of beeps from the sensor as it gets close to exhausting the battery, but also showed in the app.

One huge pain in the ass with this is the wall plug takes up both plugs. The design isn't where you can have this plugged in and something else plugged in as well. Had to buy a plug in outlet extender.

Sensors losing signal to the hub without a related warning is definitely a thing at least. I reached out to Govee after it happened and they said they were aware and suggested upgrading the sensors.

Any reason to upgrade to V2 over V1 besides number of sensors and other connectivity?

If you are using home assistant, these will be difficult to be integrated. It use 433hz frequency to communicate between detector and gateway. I eventually bought zwave sensors instead. Of cause, zwave sensors are expensive.

If you want to add an external sensor with some DIY work, here is a post on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/Govee/co...vee_water/

I'll probably do that for a couple of locations.

Best value for money is: Hub+4+5+5. Add more 5 packs for what you need. The max is 100 per hub.

"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. Even a small condo can easily use up 8 sensors alone."
