Water Leak Sensor
A water leak sensor detects standing water through exposed contacts or a remote probe. It reports leaks the moment they start, so automations can shut off valves and alert the homeowner before damage spreads.
Water leak sensors sit where leaks happen first: under sinks, behind toilets, near water heaters, washing machines, and sump pumps. Two metal contacts bridge when water touches them, triggering an instant alert.
How Selora AI uses water leak sensors
- Damage prevention by closing a smart shut-off valve the moment a leak is detected.
- Instant alerts to the homeowner and the installer, day or night.
- Escalation recipes that combine a leak event with a siren or strobe so the alarm is hard to miss.
Placement tips
Put sensors at the lowest point where water would pool. Battery-powered Zigbee models report for years on a coin cell and keep working when the internet is down, which matters for a sensor whose whole job is to fire during an emergency.
