The Alarm.com Z-Wave Smart Water Leak Sensor is a device designed to detect water leaks and alert you to potential water damage in your home. It operates using the Z-Wave communication protocol, which allows it to be integrated into a larger smart home ecosystem for remote monitoring and control. 

Features

• Water Leak Detection

  The sensor is equipped with moisture sensors that can detect the presence of water or excessive humidity in the surrounding area. This makes it effective at identifying leaks from sources like burst pipes, leaking appliances, or flooding.

• Real-time Alerts

  When the sensor detects water or a leak, it can send real-time alerts to your smartphone, tablet, or other connected devices. This allows you to take immediate action to address the issue and prevent potential water damage.

• Automation and Notifications

  In addition to basic alerts, the sensor's integration with a Z-Wave ecosystem enables you to set up automated actions and notifications. For example, you could configure the system to automatically shut off the main water supply when a leak is detected or to turn on specific lights to alert you to the problem.

• Placement Flexibility

  You can place the water leak sensor in various locations throughout your home where leaks are most likely to occur. Common placements include near water heaters, under sinks, behind washing machines, and in basements or crawl spaces.

• Battery-Powered

  The sensor is typically powered by batteries, making it easy to install without the need for electrical wiring. However, keep in mind that you'll need to periodically replace the batteries to ensure the sensor's continued operation.
