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.

Quote from gryhnd :
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.

We just moved into a place with hydronic heating (first time experience). Can you clarify what you mean by a long run and where in relation to it you would put a sensor? I would assume under each rad, but not really sure. Thanks!

By that I mean just for overall coverage and playing the law of averages. One sensor in the middle of a 20' run may not pick up a leak at a far end until a lot of water has already leaked out. If you have a carpeted floor too, it'll act as a sponge further delaying a distant leak from triggering a sensor not nearby. Make sense?

Can the gateway handle sensors of multiple types (thermometers,water,etc.) together, or will you end up with multiple gateways?

I searched through the listings, and the bundles seem to come with different model gateways, but it's unclear if that means they won't work together or if they are different generations.

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?
