Product detailed description

💧Comprehensive protection against flooding, humidity, and mold

This water sensor is much more than just a standard leak detector – it is a comprehensive environmental monitor. Not only does it alert you to leaking water before damage occurs, but it also measures air temperature and humidity, helping you maintain perfect indoor comfort. With the option of battery power or continuous operation via USB-C, it easily adapts to any installation. Furthermore, it features a 2.5 mm jack, allowing you to connect any potential-free sensor (from door contacts to external probes), giving it even greater versatility. 

Water leaks are among the most underestimated dangers in any household and often go unnoticed until they cause severe damage. The Aeotec Water Sensor 8 monitors places that are usually out of sight. It detects water leaks early and alerts you immediately. This sensor helps prevent costly damage and protects your home. 

Installation tips

🚰 Installation under a sink or near a bathtub

♨️ Next to hot water boilers, heating systems and pumps, pipes

🧺 Near washing machines, dishwashers, or other appliances

More than just a water detector

🌡️ Precise temperature sensing: continuously monitors indoor temperature to help maintain comfort and stable living conditions.

💧 Accurate humidity sensing: precisely measures humidity levels to promote a healthy indoor climate and prevent moisture problems.

🦠 Mold danger warning (based on dew point algorithm):  analyzes temperature and humidity using a dew point algorithm to provide early warnings of potential mold risk.

🔗 Universal binary input for third-party sensors: the Aeotec Water Sensor 8 probe can be used as a dry contact binary input, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of external sensors, such as:

🧲 Reed contacts

🚨 Alarm systems

💨 Smoke detectors

Water Sensor 8 can directly read the status of these devices (open/closed). This allows you to monitor external sensors within one unified system, expand the capabilities of your smart home, and eliminate the need for additional hardware.

Precision and practicality

The sensor combines elegant design with smart functionality. The rear wall mount allows for easy installation anywhere, while the built-in tamper protection ensures the sensor stays securely in place. Thanks to the 5V USB power supply, it can operate continuously without worrying about battery life. The flexible extension probe allows for precise positioning, and using a standard 2.5 mm audio jack, it can be swapped for any compatible water detection probe, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any environment.

Excellent range and reliability

Thanks to Z-Wave Long Range technology, the sensor ensures reliable communication even in larger homes. Its extended wireless range outperforms standard smart home protocols, eliminating dead zones and maintaining a strong connection through floors, walls, and over long distances. Combined with ultra-low power consumption, Z-Wave Long Range delivers stable performance, longer battery life, and a more responsive smart home, making it an ideal foundation for secure monitoring of doors and windows.
