In September I will have had one of my ST water sensors a year. It’s running at 56% battery right now (for about the last three weeks). And that’s after it took a bath 😁. Yep, it sits in the pans for my water heaters in the attic and one tank took a dump a short time back, The leak sensor saved me a bunch of money.

Every so often they go on sale. When they do I grab them. Extremely fast response.

> I just got my first real water leak alert. I have two hot water tanks side by side, sitting in trays in the attic. One sprang a leak late this morning (and not a slow leak either) and my ST water sensor did it’s trick. I got a voice notification on all my Sonos, lights turned on and my phone went crazy. Water is off and the leak contained to the tank tray and a plumber on the way (I have a home warranty too). Last time my tanks leaked they overflowed the trays before I noticed. Feeling very relieved right now.
