X-Sense Ultra-Slim Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector, 4 Sensors + Base, SWS0A41

I installed the X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Leak Detectors mainly as a precaution around the basement, sump pump, and utility area, and they already proved their value. A few weeks after setting them up, our sump pump failed during heavy rain and the detector sent an alert to my phone almost immediately. I was able to get downstairs and deal with the problem before the pit overflowed and flooded the basement. That alone made these worth every dollar. Setup was straightforward, and the Wi-Fi connection has been stable so far. Notifications come through quickly, and the app makes it easy to see which sensor triggered. I also like that the alarm on the unit itself is loud enough to hear if you’re in the house, but the phone alert is what really makes the difference when you’re not home. Build quality seems good, and the sensors are small enough to place anywhere you might have a leak risk - sump pump, water heater, under sinks, behind the washing machine, etc. Battery installation was simple and the app walked through pairing without much trouble. If you own a home with a basement, sump pump, or anything that could leak, I highly recommend these. Mine already prevented what could have been a very expensive mess, and that makes this one of the easiest 5-star reviews I’ve written.

My wife and I own two condos in Maui. Our AOAO is now requiring leak detectors to help prevent water damage due to leaks while owners are away from their property. We researched several leak detectors that meet the association criteria (sensors located at every water source, wireless connection with 24/7 monitoring, battery state indicators and low battery level warning, multi-property support, Safety agency approved, etc...) and selected this X-Sense system with 10 sensors for each condo. The system was easy to set up and use. While we were concerned over the WiFi 2.4GHz bandwidth requirement, it turned out our multi-band routers hooked up to the base station without issue. It will also survive a power failure which is comforting to know. We were so happy with the system we bought a third system for use in our home in California. We have the X-Sense app on both of our phones now, each of which with a drop down-menu showing the state of all sensors at any one of the three properties. The system claims to support up to 5 households with up to 50 devices each (not just leak sensors but other function like smoke & CO2 detectors). We have had the systems for a few weeks now and outside one alarm (triggered by our cleaner who accidentally brushed up against a sensor in the kitchen with her mop) we have had no issues.

Easy setup. Let's me notifies me if it looses power. So far they are great. They give me peace of mind when not at home. Sensor is loud enough to hear it. They stay connected and they seem to be working accurately.

These detectors are what you need to protect your home. We purchased enough to cover all areas of our home where water could leak. These are easy to set up and only take a couple of minutes to connect through the app they offer. The app walks you through what to do and how to do it. It could be easier to set up! One of our children washed their hands and a tiny drop of water landed on the sensor. It immediately went off and we were alerted via text and through the app! That’s amazing. Protect your home with these detectors. You will not be sorry. Especially if you travel, have rental properties, or just need peace of mind. You will not be sorry you made the investment.

As the picture shows the instruction manual is very small. I had to scan the pages so I could enlarge it enough to read. The instructions said to hold the pair button for 5 sec and the LED on the Base Station would flash yellow then it could be paired with the phone. The LED flashed as soon as it was plugged in and would not pair. A call to Tech Support was answered by a live Tech who went over the troubleshooting procedure. He told me to reboot my phone and call back if that did not work. It did work after that and the install was easy from there on. I tested the sensors with a wet sponge before I put them in place and after. One was placed in the lower level of the house beside the water heater which is isolated in an enclosed space. The alarm sounded at the base station and on my phone and was very loud. I am hard of hearing and I could hear it very well. I need two more sensors but the only package I can find for sensors only has three units, so I will probably get three and find some place to use the extra one. The units have a low battery warning that messages your phone and it uses AAA batteries that are said to last 3 years. I gave it 4 Stars only because the instructions were difficult to read and not very clear in my opinion. It appears to be a very good product at a good price for insurance against a flooded house, even though my insurance company would not give a discount for it.

Outstanding. Works like a charm, no false alarms, ever. Easy to install. Instead of just putting on the floor, I use as a sump pump alarm. Turn it upside down and use velcro tape to attach to the underside of my sump cover.

Great product! It’s like an extra insurance policy should your toilet or hot water heater develop a leak. Battery life is excellent. Easy to connect and install.

We have had basement flooding issues for a few months, but could never catch it as it happened to see where the water was coming from. One of the many plumbers that we had out at the house recommended that we get some leak sensors to see if we can find the trigger. I have x-sense smoke detectors so knew the leak sensors would be a quality product and good value for the price. My sensors arrived the same night so I ran to set them up. The setup is a breeze, quickly connecting the base and sensors to my wi-fi and bluetooth from the basement (good range). The sensors are extremely sensitive to moisture and will detect leaks easily. I set one off with the moisture on my palm while carrying it. At least I learned what to do to silence them when they went off. They're tiny but LOUD. Within hours of installing the sensors, one was triggered by a leak and we were able to determine the general area where water is getting into the basement. The app notified me on my phone and tablet and I could hear the alarm in the basement from my second floor bedroom. I was able to silence the alarm from my phone so it was not waking the neighborhood at 2am.

Great product and app. Was easy to set up and can be added to

This was the second time I ordered X-Sense alarms from Daveberry. With tariff disruptions worldwide, both times the orders got delayed. But, Doveberry kept me informed about the status and was transparent about it. I found them to be very professional.

Easy setup, and reliable

These water leak detection sensors work well. I already had 'dumb' stand alone sensors that don't connect to wifi, but my concern was I would not hear them if I wasn't near by, or outside the house. The X-Sense wifi detector gives me more piece of mind. What I experience: When one of the 3 leak sensors goes off, about 1-2 seconds later the main base also sounds an alarm but much louder and I get a critical alert on my phone from the downloaded app. I worked seamlessly. To test it I dipped on of the sensors in water which initiated the whole process. When I took the sensor out of the water the alarms stopped and I got a new message that the leak had stopped. The sensor alarm is a short repeating beep which is not even as loud as the alarm on my stove. The base alarm is much louder and can be heard all through the house, so place that alarm somewhere central. I like that the base came with a usb cord and power plug. There are buttons on all of the items to silence them, as well it can be done from the app. I also like that the sensors came with AAA batteries included and installed, but that they can be replaced when they eventually die. All of this makes it ready to go easily right out of the box, you just need to download the app and pair all the items. One thing I would like is if more than one email address could be added to the app for an email alert. Overall I'm quite please.

It connected to our wifi and refused to connect over a period of days to their "cloud services". Tech support ignored requests twice. Even their partner program email ignored all requests. I have never seen such bad support for a product - it's literally as if they don't want to sell it.
