Had a leak under the sink in our kitchen. I don’t want to imagine what this would have meant on a larger scale, compared the 20€ I spent on the sensor and the 10mins it costed me to install it.

hey can be used for a bunch of things, not just leak sensing.

I'm curious. Like what?

Aqara have good door and window sensors too

You can buy these at around the same price or less, so no point in doing that

Some days I don't wet the bed, how will it recognize my presence without a steady stream of moisture?
