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 added the more basic Govee water sensor to the split pan below my furnace and they work great.

Quote from SeriousApparel259 :
I'm always on the lookout for gadgets like this but it seems everything I have runs on 2.4 ghz. I'm hesitant to buy new stuff because I wonder how long it will be before the 2.4 ghz band is phased out forcing me to buy new equipment? I have a WiFi 6E mesh router so that will be good for a while. Thanks!
Your 6E has 2.4Ghz, as will most Wifi7 units coming soon. 2.4GHz isn't going anywhere soon. That said, you can always piggyback a second router on your 6E for just 2.4Ghz.

Right now, it's not worth it for IOT type devices to be on 5Ghz as it costs more and IOT doesn't need the bandwidth nor the shorter range...

Quote from HughBalzonia :
I recently returned the first version due to it not staying connected to my WiFi. Should I gamble with this one?
I would say give it a shot. My V1 works great, as do many other people's. My guess would be that your issues may be more due to your router (especially if you have a typically-crappy ISP-provided one). How far away was the base from the router? Clear Line-of-Sight? Are you in a busy wifi area (dense housing, etc)?

I already own a few Govee products and have the app (mostly lights). I ordered the gateway hub with 4 sensors kit yesterday.

Wasn't my router. I have other items on it with no issues. I am an IT professional so I gave it my best shot but the thing would disconnect after 20 minutes every time I tried. Judging by Amazon reviews it's probably something with the devices but maybe I'll try this again.

Can someone help me understand if this slick deal, or the other water leak deal, are better products than ring brand water sensors?

Any easy way to identify the pre paired sensors to rename them? The additional ones allowed me to name them as I added so that was simple.

Pair them again is the answer. Easy enough to press the button and trigger the pairing to change the name.

I bought the yolink deal the other day for about same price based on good reviews in that thread but haven't opened it yet. Is it worth returning those for these or is the Yolink overall still a more solid product?

Yolink is much better product , it has a better range, if you pair D2D device to device, you are not dependent on internet for them to communicate via hub. Take a look at there auto shut off valve as well. The key and ultimate solution is to eventually install auto shutoff valve if leak is detected. The problem is if you are away from home , even the leaks detects you can't do much so having shut off valve is a key.

I tried 2 of these, neither of them were strong enough to turn my valve even after PB Blaster'ing a bunch. I ended up with a Zooz Titan which is very well built but it works on ZWave. You can get a bundle with a hard wire sensor, zwave sensors, and there's a backup battery incase power goes out. Well worth the price IMO for extra peace of mind.

The valve you mention is a great deal. I'm happy with the water sensors. Who has received theirs?
