While it may not be the latest model, the Govee Water Leak Detector does its job exceptionally well. The sensors are highly sensitive and detect even the slightest presence of water, providing early warnings that are crucial in preventing potential damage. The alarm system is loud enough to grab attention, ensuring that I'm alerted promptly in case of any water-related issues. Email features is a great functionality which I liked the best. I appreciate the cost-effectiveness of this model, offering a budget-friendly option without compromising on functionality.
Installation was a breeze - just a matter of connecting them to my 2.4GHz WiFi network (note: they don't support 5G WiFi). Once set up, they worked seamlessly with the Govee Home app, allowing me to monitor the status of each sensor from my phone.
The 100dB adjustable alarm is loud enough to get your attention, even in a large house. It's a reassuring feature knowing that you'll be alerted immediately if there's even a hint of water where it shouldn't be. The fact that you can customize the sensitivity level ensures that false alarms are kept to a minimum.
But what truly sets the Govee WiFi Water Sensor apart is its ability to send email alerts. This means you're not reliant solely on the app - you'll receive a notification even if you're away from your phone. This level of responsiveness is crucial for avoiding major water damage incidents.
The sensors themselves are well-built and feel durable. They're compact enough to be discreet, yet sturdy enough to handle any potential moisture. I placed one in my basement, another in the laundry room, and the third under the kitchen sink - all high-risk areas for leaks and water damage.
Since installing these sensors, I've had a couple of instances where they detected water where it shouldn't have been. In both cases, I was able to address the issue before any serious damage occurred. It's incredible how much peace of mind these sensors provide.
The battery life is impressive. I've had them for several months now, and they're still going strong. The low battery alerts are another thoughtful feature, ensuring that you're never caught off guard.
In terms of value for money, this pack of three sensors is reasonably priced considering the level of protection they offer. When you compare it to the potential cost of water damage repairs, it's a small price to pay for such a valuable safeguard.
In conclusion, the Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack is a must-have for any homeowner. It's reliable, easy to install, and provides an extra layer of security against water damage. Don't wait until it's too late - invest in these sensors and save yourself from potential headaches and costly repairs down the line. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to protect their home and belongings.

A word about the Sensor IDs for each sensor - format H5054_NNNN. The Senor IDs are unique for each sensor, but are not printed on the sensor, so I placed each sensor one at a time on a damp cloth to test it's alarm which pops up in the Govee app with the sensor ID in RED. So I wrote the ID in felt pen on each sensor which allows you to identify which sensor is sensing water. I had no trouble using the APP to create four rooms - Main Bathroom, Utility Room, Kitchen and 2nd Bathroom, AND, then adding my labeled sensors in each room.
I really like that the sensors use triple AAA batteries that will be easy to replace (I cannot say how long they'll last since my 8 sensors are now only 2 weeks old). I also really like that when water is detected, the Govee app shows you which sensor is alarming and also sends an email warning to my defined email address. So far the system is working perfectly. 5 stars from me.

I also really like that when water is detected, the Govee app shows you which sensor is alarming and also sends an email warning to my defined email address. So far the system is working perfectly. 5 stars from me.
But there is one really glaring missing feature that Govee needs to add if they want a full 5/5 rating:
The android app does not show sensor signal strength to gateway, nor does it show status. So the app shows all the sensors regardless if the gateway sees it or not. So if a sensor is in a puddle of water but the signal is not getting through, you have no way of knowing there is no signal, and of course it does not signal that it detects water. So it creates a false sense of security.
I have sent the suggestion to Govee support but no answer. I suggested showing signal strength for each sensor, status of each sensor, and an alarm option if a sensor drops off. I am hopeful they see the logic and add this feature to the app.
After final placement of the gateway, I tested each sensor with a plate of water, at the sensor location, to make sure each has a proper signal where they are placed. A painfully tedious process to make sure each is within range, which could be avoided if I had some way of knowing the sensors have adequate signal strength. But even with that precaution, I have no way of knowing if there is a sensor barely within signal range.
It is unfortunate that such a overall good system has such a glaring flaw.
Otherwise I think it is a pretty good system. Instructions are quite good, so setup was quite simple. And I overall like how the alarm is audible, goes to your phone, and sends an email.
Normally I would give a 3/5 rating for such a big flaw, but it is overall a pretty nice package so I give it 4/5.
I am sure I am not the only one requesting these additional features, so I am hoping that Govee listens and adds the features in a future update.
Are you tired of worrying about water leaks in your home? We recently tested the Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack and were impressed with its ability to detect leaks and send real-time alerts to our phone.</p>

One of the standout features of the Govee WiFi Water Sensor 3 Pack is the loud 100dB alarm, which can be silenced with the press of a button once the leak has been detected.

<h2>Loud Alarm with Mute Button</h2>
We were impressed with the loudness of the alarm on the Govee WiFi Water Sensor. At 100dB, it's definitely loud enough to get your attention and alert you to any water leaks or drips. However, we also appreciated the mute button feature. If you find the alarm too loud or you need to temporarily silence it, simply press the mute button.</p>
We also found that the alarm was reliable and accurate. It went off immediately when we tested it with a small amount of water, giving us peace of mind that we would be alerted to any potential water damage. Plus, the fact that the alarm is paired with the app means that you'll receive real-time alerts even if you're not at home.</p>
Overall, we think the loud alarm with mute button feature on the Govee WiFi Water Sensor is a great addition to the product and makes it even more user-friendly.</p>
<h2>Drip and Leak Alerts</h2>

The water sensor comes with two groups of back water detector probes and one group of front probes for pipe dripping detection, making it easy to identify the source of the problem. We found it particularly helpful to name each sensor with its location using the app, which made it easier to keep track of where each sensor was placed.</p>

Overall, we found the drip and leak alerts to be a reliable and convenient feature that gave us peace of mind knowing that we would be alerted in case of any water damage.</p>
<h2>Multiple Sensor Connectivity</h2>
We were impressed with the Govee WiFi Water Sensor's ability to connect to multiple sensors. This feature allows us to monitor different areas of our home for water leaks and drips, providing us with peace of mind. The sensors are easy to set up and connect to our smartphone via the Govee app, which sends us alerts and notifications when water is detected.</p>
We appreciate that the Govee WiFi Water Sensor supports 2.4G WiFi, which is more widely available than 5G WiFi. The adjustable 100dB alarm is loud enough to hear throughout our home, ensuring that we don't miss any alerts. The battery-powered sensors are compact and easy to install, making them a convenient solution for home water monitoring.</p>
Overall, the Govee WiFi Water Sensor's multiple sensor connectivity is a useful feature that allows us to monitor our home for water leaks and drips with ease.</p>
<h2>IP66 Waterproof Design</h2>
We were impressed with the Govee WiFi Water Sensor's completely sealed IP66 waterproof design.
