Product Description
Note: Compatible only with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (incompatible with 5.0 GHz); connects to the X-Sense Home Security App via the included base station
Never Miss a Leak: When a water leak is detected, a red light will flash on the water leak detector and the base station will sound an alarm up to 100 dB; you’ll also get an app alert on your phone, so you can learn about leaks even if you’re away
Feature-Rich App: Adjust the base station alarm volume, mute an alarm, and view your alarm history via the app; tap “Remind Me Later” to temporarily mute the alerts for 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours; test the device, get low battery alerts, and share the sensor all from the app
Top and Bottom Sensors: Featuring 2 ultra-sensitive water probes on the top and 4 on the bottom, this water leak sensor can sense water just 0.4 mm deep as well as drips from above, ensuring you’re promptly alerted to any unexpected water without having to physically be there and check for yourself
Ultra-Slim and Easy to Place: This water alarm fits into tight and awkward spaces thanks to its compact design; the device is only 0.7 in (17 mm) thick and 3 in (77 mm) in diameter
Long Connection Range: Feel confident to put this sensor in an outbuilding or far away corner—its wireless connection range of up to 1,700 ft (500 m) in open areas means you’ll receive app alerts no matter where it’s placed
Works in Humid Areas: With an IP67 waterproof rating, this leak detector works reliably in humid spaces such as near dishwashers or water heaters; once it’s in position, there’s no maintenance as its batteries last up to 3 years and simply replace them to extend its lifespan to 5 years
Detects Leaks Throughout Your Home: This Wi-Fi water sensor detects leaks in places like windows, bathrooms, kitchens, garages, restrooms, sinks, water pipes, laundry rooms, basements, and wine cellars
Base Station Alarm: When water is detected, an LED on this water leak detector will flash red, but only the base station will emit an alarm; if you would like a model where both the device and base station sound, consider the X-Sense SWS54 Kit with Wi-Fi water leak detector

LIFE SAVERS
My washer started leaking mid-cycle, and I have a second-floor condo, so…not good! I bought these right after and put them under my kitchen and bathroom sinks, behind each toilet, and of course, by the (new) washer. About two weeks later, alarms started going off. I received a text and email seconds later. It detected a small amount of water from under my kitchen sink. I’m not handy at all, but because I caught it right away, I figured out where it was coming from, tightened one of the bolt things, and I haven’t had a problem sense. These things are amazing!!!! The email/text happened right away, so I know that if something went sideways and I wasn’t home, I could rush back to deal with it before it became a disaster. That peace of mind is pretty priceless.They connected to my WiFi super quick, and they were easy to install. The one under my sink was sensitive enough to detect a little bit of water before it turned into something major, and the range is great because they’re all over the condo and the signal is fine.I recommend these to every home owner. They can save you a big hassle down the road because you can catch the issue early. 100% worth the money.

Worked when we needed it to
We have had basement flooding issues for a few months, but could never catch it as it happened to see where the water was coming from. One of the many plumbers that we had out at the house recommended that we get some leak sensors to see if we can find the trigger. I have x-sense smoke detectors so knew the leak sensors would be a quality product and good value for the price. My sensors arrived the same night so I ran to set them up. The setup is a breeze, quickly connecting the base and sensors to my wi-fi and bluetooth from the basement (good range). The sensors are extremely sensitive to moisture and will detect leaks easily. I set one off with the moisture on my palm while carrying it. At least I learned what to do to silence them when they went off. They’re tiny but LOUD. Within hours of installing the sensors, one was triggered by a leak and we were able to determine the general area where water is getting into the basement. The app notified me on my phone and tablet and I could hear the alarm in the basement from my second floor bedroom. I was able to silence the alarm from my phone so it was not waking the neighborhood at 2am.

Saved me 5x (so far..) over just 3 months
I got these because I just moved into a new house and was paranoid between the size of the place and distrust for the prior owner.They are possibly the single greatest investment I’ve ever made. They’ve saved me 5 times now in the last 3 months from serious damage.3x under my kitchen sink (2 unrelated leaks)1x my hot water tank start spraying water1x a bathroom sink drainI’m writing this review because it just saved me again. So happy with this product.(And this is a very lovely home! You wouldn’t expect any of these leaks to have occurred…)

Sensitive
Very sensitive, I got lots of false alarms when it was placed on bare, seemingly dry concrete. Solved this by putting it on a thin piece of cardboard (that will inevitably get wet and trip it when an actual leak occurs.) So maybe not the best option for a basement, but works well in other places, like under my sink.

Worth every penny!
I love these! My stationary tub has been known to get plugged by random object covering the drain. This results in a huge water mess. These sensors have alerted twice since installing and saved me a lot of clean up. My one tip – look at where the water first starts to accumulate and put it there as it takes standing water to set it off so just a trickle didn’t trigger it. Alarm woke me from sleep so it’s loud enough and I love the phone alert as well

Don’t consider any other leak detector over this one!
I can’t begin to tell you the stress I have over leak detectors. I bought a D-LINK several years ago that was impossible to set up and as of 2023, the company decided that they weren’t going to support the product anymore. This left countless owners out in the cold with an app that no longer supported their detector.So, I had to consider finding a new leak detector system. And, let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy task. I poured through more than a dozen such detectors on Amazon reading reviews that didn’t convince me there was any reliable enough system worth investing my money in……that is until I came to X-Sense. There were some very encouraging Amazon reviews touting this as the best product of its kind with ease of setup and exceptional performance for indicating water leakage.Let me tell you, this product exceeded ALL expectations.To begin with, I was fearing the setup process knowing what I had gone through when I set up my D-LINK.Shortly after purchase, the manufacturer sent me an email with a link to an online doc with what I am assuming was an updated installation guide. This was something I very much appreciated as it showed that the manufacturer was still taking an interest in making certain that its customers had a favorable installation experience.And get this…installation took under 7 minutes and it was completely effortless and flawless.The big thing to keep in mind when installing is that this won’t connect to a 5GHz network, which is what most home routers are outputting. To get around this, all you need to do is create a guest network that generally broadcasts in the preferred 2.5 GHz band that this device needs to connect to.I started with the base installation and which took less than a minute to complete. You simply download the X-Sense app and it walks you through the process. After that, adding any one of the 3 satellite leak detectors takes even less time. You push a button and it connects to the base station.We have a very large home and I was very happy to see that the signal range in which the base and satellites communicate with each other is pretty immense. There has been no problem with a signal loss between devices.Once everything was connected I did a quick test where I placed one of the satellite detectors in my sink and ran a small stream of water. As soon as the water hit the sensors on the bottom of the detector, a loud alarm on the base station went off and a notification was sent to my iPhone. WOW! Could it be THIS EASY?I have never seen something like this come together so easily. It was so effortless to set this up.What you get in the box are one base station and 3 satellite detectors. You also get a power cord and brick for the base station. I would advise centralizing the base location in your home.The app is very good with one major annoyance that has been talked about in other reviews here. The plus is that the app is well laid out and easy to use. It offers a terrific one-glance look at your activated system, its online status, and battery levels. And speaking of batteries, they are easily replaceable.On the downside, I wish the developer would update the app so users are not annoyed by the advertisement to purchase extra protection. It’s fine to read about it once, but I shouldn’t have annoying reminders pop up when using the app. It’s really ruining a perfect experience. Perhaps in an update, the software developer can fix this.Other than that, I am just ecstatic about this purchase. I still can’t believe it took mere minutes to set everything up without any of the errors and hassles one expects from these products.If you are looking for the perfect leak detector system, I can’t fathom you can do any better than this at the approx. $50 price point.

preventive care I hope
I had a prolonged undetected ice maker fill line disruption that caused some damage prior to being detected. Now I have these under my fridge and 2 sinks in the kitchen. Very easy registration and installation, I hope I never need them.

Easy to set up and works well. Had a leak on my sink and caught it right away.
Amazon Customer –
Works well. We bought this device after two massive hot water tank leaks in our basement within three months. Base station has volume control so it can be heard from anywhere in the house. Plus the phone notification is great when away from the home. Only wish we had bought one sooner – would have saved us thousands of dollars in damage.

J’ aurais dus acheter cela il y a longtemps avant d’ avoir des dégats de milliers de dollars. Bref ca fonctionne sur mon Samsung S25 no 1

Tested the sensors and they seem to be working as expected. App installation is straight forward. And the price is excellent for the 4 sensors package.
