Winees WiFi Water Leak Detector, 1 Pack Water Sensors with 100dB Adjustable Alarm, Leak Alert Email&SMS Notification, 100M Transmission for Basement, Bathroom, Laundry, IFTTT, S1 Lite, 2.4G WiFi Only

So far everything works well. My only complaint is the main part takes up an entire wall outlet, bad design.

I picked up the Winees WiFi Water Leak Detector hoping for peace of mind in my basement and laundry area. Setup was fairly straightforward, and I appreciated the loud 100dB alarm—it’s definitely hard to miss. The email and SMS alerts worked, though they weren’t always instant, which could be a concern in a real emergency. The 100-meter transmission range is solid, and I liked the IFTTT integration for smart home automation. However, the device only supports 2.4G WiFi, which feels limiting in modern setups. Also, the build quality felt a bit flimsy for something meant to handle water-related risks. Overall, it’s a functional sensor with useful features, but it could use better responsiveness and more robust hardware to earn a higher rating.

After a sewer line break, we needed to have a better alert system for water leaks in our basement. I ordered the 3 sensor option. The set up was very straightforward, with my young son activating the sensors. The only minor suggestion would be to identify the sensor name/location before activating the next, as they are not numbered or otherwise identified on the phone app. Ultimately it wasn't a big deal, as my son was able to "activate" each with a damp paper towel for naming once they were in place. The main sensor is on the main level of the house and quite a distance from 1 of the sensors that still worked without delay for alerting. A great way to continue monitoring while home or on vacation (with phone app).

I purchased the kit along with 6 extra detectors. So total of nine. App was easy to set up and connect all 9. I tested them out before placing them. I immediately received a notification from the app about a water leak. And they are very loud. You can set the volume if you want to another level. And you can also name each one in the app which will help in knowing which one detected water. I put them in places that were not visible. Under dishwasher, hot water heater, behind fridge water line, the washer, under sinks and behind our water system for well. Hopefully nothing ever leaks but these will let me know where if it happens.

I set up the Winee Wifi water detectors to monitor the crawl space sump pump failure. Put one near the sump pump tank and one near the discharge pipe. A cheap and easy way to monitor flooding in your crawl or basement. Set up was easy and you can rename the various sensors during setup. I recommend writing on the sensors so you can visually know which one goes where. I can't comment on the battery life but will update here with new findings. The APP lets you see the wet/dry state and battery life of each sensor individually. I tested the sensor in the sink and as soon as any water splashed on the sensor or touched the sensor, the audible alarm sounded on the base unit, and text and email notifications were sent via the APP.
