Help Shape the Future of Water Leak Detection šŸ’§

Hi everyone!

We’re exploring ideas for a water leak sensor and would love to learn how leaks happen—and how people deal with them—in homes like yours.

The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers, so just tell us what you really think.

:point_right: Take the survey here: Water Leak Sensor Survey
The survey is expected to close on October 16.

Thank you for helping us create products that better meet your needs!

Thanks for soliciting feedback on this :). Matter over thread with direct pairing would be huge :slight_smile:

Done!! Hope it helps to develop a better water leak sensor, providing a better connectivity and stabiility.
Most of the actual sensors suffer fron disconnections.

I’m using aqara’s leak sensor and ikeaā€s matter over thread

We have Aqara leak sensors in several locations of our home…except in the downstairs bathroom which is the only room we’ve actually had a leak in. Why? Because Lois, our Corgi, treats water leak sensors as chew toys and we have t been able to break that habit. It’s the only one she can get to and the only one that we’ve actually needed lol

Besides using the leak detector in the basement, I use it for garden watering automations and (not so successfully) for rain detection with the native Aqara app, using a raindrops module as a probe extension.

I am not sure if it’s a hardware limitation of the current Leak Sensor, but besides the current options of ā€œLeak Detectedā€ and ā€œWater Recedesā€, it would be nice to see the addition of:

  • ā€œIn Leak(water) Detected Stateā€
  • ā€œRemains in Water Detected state beyond a defined timeā€
  • ā€œRemains with no Water Detection state beyond a defined timeā€
    (Also to have those options available inside the ā€œANDā€ section.)
    In addition, it would be great to have a ā€œDurationā€ option in the 3 dots pop-up menu.

On the Aqara UI, it would also be nice to have more flexibility with custom naming of the card — not just ā€œLeak Detectedā€, because depending on the use case it could be ā€œTank is Fullā€, ā€œDryā€, ā€œEmptyā€, ā€œRainingā€.
