too sensitive, would beep just when floor was cold

awful, too sensitive! do not recommend. would activate alarm for nothing or just the floor being cold.

Just what I needed. After having our water tank bottom out and flood the basement I thought it would be good to know if there are any leaks.

[Rewarded Review] Best design leak sensor, but have limited coverage

These sensors are very sensitive to moisture, which is perfect to detect leak. Wireless transmitters are separated from water sensor, so electronics part will never get wet, and has better WiFi signal.

Can't even turn it on

I shouldn't need to waste my time on the phone with tech support just to turn this thing on. The instruction manual says to put the batteries in and it will enter pairing mode, and then click pair device in the app and it will find the device and pair automatically.

[Rewarded Review] Water leak detector

Seems to work good when I was testing it. Battery life is real good. Have been in 3 months. App tells you percentage

Obsolete device that has limited application

Never got unit to work. It is a very neat item, small, looks very high quality, but after 5 hours and talking to both Swann (Australia) and my internet provider, I found that it will not work with a dual frequency 2.4 and 5G WiFi modem. Note also that the 2.4G only Wifi requirement applies to all their cameras as well.

Not Happy

I read reviews prior to my purchase (less than a month ago) and people were complaining about connection issues. I am now experiencing this! I plan to take all 10 detectors back to Lowe’s!

not recommended

sensor does not send any notifications to mobile. Can see on the app there is a leak when I check the activity. The Melbourne support team was contacted but no option for water leak detector.

A bit dissapointing

Unit is easy enough to setup and seemed to work effectively when testing with a few drops of water on the sensor. Unfortunately the sensor has very poor connectivity (despite being a short distance from my wifi router) and regularly loses connection with the internet. Seems to reconnect eventually, but this doesn't provide a lot of confidence. Not the solution I was hoping for.

Great water leak sensor

I just bought this after hearing about the very large number of braided flexible hose failures! These hoses are used on flic taps, toilet cisterns etc. Failure can flood the entire house if not detected! Like holiday homes etc. The device couldn't have been easier to setup using the Swann Security App. Make sure of WiFi signal strength in the devices location before sticking to surface. WiFi signal strength can be seen in the App under the "Settings" cog then under the device name. It does take a while to show any signal changes.
