Peace of mind... priceless. - This is the most compact and economical gizmo you'll find to use as an early warning system for leaks or moisture contact. Comes with a 7ft cable attached to a sensor which you plug into the brains of the unit using the 3.5mm phono plug. Easy to install, connect to the internet, and configure to receive alerts. The controller unit detaches from the USB/power adapter plug... so IF you need the sensor to be further away, you can probably use a USB male/female extension cable. Be advised that if you need an extension cable longer than 16ft 5in, you should probably consider using an "active" USB cable to drive the signal. Unpredictable results can occur if you're being unreasonable. Pros: No batteries. Simple, easy, runs off standard power outlet Cons: 1) Needs household power to operate (obviously). 2) Needs residential WiFi to be active (of course). 3) Relays communications through the Proteus cloud server (middleman). If any one of these three things are down, you're blind for the duration. However, you can always connect it to a battery backup unit (UPS) and run for hours if your power source is unreliable. Overall, a good unit and great peace of mind, especially for those unfortunate enough to have a water heater in the attic! Review: What's your peace of mind worth? - Easy setup - no issues whatsoever, including adding additional sensors. Flawless operation. Excellent web-based control center with multiple options for each sensor, including: ability to name each sensor, specify if sensor is normally wet/dry, buzzer settings (continuous or silence after X minutes), advanced mode (for an additional monthly fee which includes Voice Call Notifications, Extended Data logs, Elevated Alarm Notifications, IFTTT, Slack Webhooks, desertcart Alexa Notifications and more), notification settings for emails and mobile numbers, ability to resend alerts every X minutes, notification when alarm has been reset, notification if power goes down for longer than X minutes, and optional email list for power/wifi issues (primary email is default). There are also links to product FAQs, instructions for adding the control center to your phone as an app (Add to Home Screen on iPhone), and the company's contact info. While these sensors are certainly on the pricey side, they provide invaluable peace of mind. Could not be happier with my purchase decision and would highly recommend them to others. ## Features - WiFi water sensor with NO monthly charges - Connects to your home or office wifi.

Looks like it cannot be mounted flush with the floor** A: This needs a slightly longer answer :). First, the sensor detects water as soon as water touches both the electroplated conductors at the bottom of the sensor. But there are two plastic bars to the side of these conductors which raise them about 1/16th of an inch from the floor. So, the quick answer would be that it takes around 1/16th of an inch of water or more for the sensor to trigger an alarm. Now, about flush mounting to the floor: The gap using the plastic bars is provided for a reason. In most cases, floors hold some moisture under normal circumstances. Even when they seem to be dry. But if you were to place the electrodes flush on ground, they could very well pick up this moisture and start sending alerts, which would appear as false alerts. Hence the small gap.Having said that, if you have an application where you not for sure this is not the case and the floor (or any surface of interest where you want to place the sensor) is completely dry in normal cases, you can shave off the plastic side bars to the point where the metal clips touch the floor. Then, any moisture/ water on the surface will trigger the sensor right away, without having to wait for the level to rise to 1/16th inch or more. Hope this answers the question :) **Q: If I lose power at home, wouldn't I lose the router that provides access to the network to send an email / text?** A: Think of it as a feature:) On two occasions we've lost power and had to leave our house. When the power comes back, I get a notification that the sensor is again reachable which tells me the power is back and we can go home! **Q: Is it possible to set up the system so that the alarm does not go off but you still get a text/email?** A: Absolutely. The audible alert is programmable in 3 ways. 1. Trigger normally, keep beeping. 2. Trigger normally, snooze after set time period, 3. Turned OFF. You can change these settings any time, from the cloud interface on your phone or computer. **Q: if the sensor gets fully submerged in water will that cause problems?** A: It has not caused problems for me, but that is just via testing it briefly in a bucket of water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small and easy to setup.
