Aqara Water Leak Sensor

An Aqara Water Leak Sensor detects any water leaks, and flooding whilst also monitoring the status of any water leak. If a water leak or flooding occurs, the sensor will push an alert notification through the Aqara Home app. It also works with other smart accessories to automate your home.

Aqara Water Leak Sensor utilises the electrical conductivity of water. If the two probes come into contact with water, a current loop is formed. If this occurs, the sensor reports water leak/flooding status to the Hub and thereby trigger the alarm or turn on other intelligent devices connected with it to execute relevant automations.

The Aqara Water Leak Sensor communicates with the Hub through Zigbee protocol wirelessly. Zigbee technology is a short-distance and low-power consumption wireless communication technology. As the communication protocol for smart home control system, it has become popular in recent years. Compared to other communication protocols, it has some big advantages:

1. Ultra-low power consumption;
2. Safer;
3. Ad hoc network, accommodating more sub-devices.

There are 3 possible reasons:

1. Operation error. Add the device according to the adding method again.
2. The device is too far apart from the Hub. Move the sensor and Hub closer together.
3. There are too many devices under the Hub.

There are 3 possible reasons

1. If the device is too far apart from the Hub, test the distance between the sensor device and the Hub and install the device closer to the Hub, to improve connectivity.
2. Low battery or no battery. You need to replace the battery.
3. The device is installed on the surface and the signal has been interfered with. Ensure you avoid metal surfaces.

No, it can not. The Aqara Water Leak Sensor must work with Hub devices. Hub devices achieve the conversion between Zigbee and Wi-Fi signals.

It is simple and easy to install an Aqara Water Leak Sensor. You simply have to place it on the surface you want to be monitored.

Yes, it does. The Aqara Water Leak Sensor reaches international IP67 waterproof and dustproof level and plays a protective role with respect to short-term flooding.

The button of the Aqara Water Leak Sensor is located at the centre of the shell. You can trigger the button by holding the top and bottom cover and pressing the “Water Drop” icon.

The alarm can be triggered by the water level reaching as little as 0.5mm high.

The Zigbee antenna of the Aqara Water Leak Sensor is an onboard antenna. It is located just above the “Water Drop” icon.

The Aqara Water Leak Sensor adopts CR2032 lithium metal button cell. The output voltage of the cell is 3V. Normally, the service life of the cell is about two years (The actual service life depends on specific external circumstances).

Press and hold the reset button on the shell for 5 seconds until the blue light flashes continuously to reset the Aqara Water Leak Sensor.
