NOTE: Z-Wave gateway controller required - sold separately. You need a security enabled controller to take full advantage of the product.
We may have this product available in open box, refurbished, or used condition - just check the variant buttons under the product price for availability. All of our recycled inventory has been tested for both manual and Z-Wave control and is fully functional at the time of shipment. Here is what you can expect when ordering your device:
This product is available in different Z-Wave frequencies so please make sure you choose the correct region before checking out. You need to select the same frequency / region as your hub when buying Z-Wave devices for them to include to your system. If you're not sure which frequency your hub operates on, please contact your solution provider first. Here is what each option stands for:
Spend on prevention, save when disaster strikes. The Zooz Water Leak Sensor reliably detects water presence so that you can respond better and faster to leaky pipes and a boiler room immersed in water.
When paired with your Z-Wave hub, it will send instant notifications and alerts to your smart phone or computer, whether it’s a flood emergency or a low-battery alert. Connect the Water Leak Sensor to other Z-Wave devices for advanced automation scenarios: trigger your smart water valve actuator to immediately shut off flow. Pair it with an alarm siren located on the main floor to ensure a fast response.
Just place it on any flat surface you'd like to monitor for the most hassle-free installation possible.

Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range XS Water Leak Sensor ZSE42 800LR User Manual (PDF)
This new version of the flood sensor does away with three serious flaws of the previous hardware:
-Environmental protection of the circuit board
Now the circuit board is completely encapsulated. The Battery is under a bayonet lid with an O-ring, so the sensor electronics do not get wet, doing what it is supposed to do.
-Vast improvement of Battery life
By all what I read, it should increase by a factor of 3.5 or better over the previous version, because of much more energy efficient 800 series chip together with a much larger CR2450 cell with 610mAh over the previous 225mAh CR2032 cell. Battery quality becomes more of an issue than device design.
With an increasing number of Battery powered sensors and stick-on-the-wall switches in the house, the idea of constantly having to change batteries is incongruent with 'Home Automation'. And a flood sensor is mission critical.
-Internal membrane switch
...is now external under a recessed rubber button. Finger size. No more need to open the housing to access a tiny switch. I didn't realize that was much of an issue until it was fixed!
Things are going in the right direction.
What remains to wish for is: An external sensor connector, for a water tank, or anything that is not easily accessible.
I bought one of these to keep in my HVAC drain pan. I've had issues in the past with my drain line backing up, and on more than one occasion, I only realized after the pan filled up all the way.
This sensor is so sensitive, it'll report as soon as a little water is present in the pan. I use Home Assistant automations to monitor when the sensor is detecting water, which then sends me a notification on my phone and turns the HVAC off at the thermostat immediately. So now my AC won't keep running and making the situation worse AND I know right away to go clean out the line!
Small price for big convenience and keeping my HVAC system healthy.
Use Smart Things, and the firmware update process is a bit longer than expected, but once completed the battery worked great
I placed these wherever I was worried about leaks - under the dishwasher, sinks etc. I pair it with my Ring system and a smart water shutoff device so that if any water is detected the water supply will stop. Fortunately I haven't had any leaks yet, but its worked great in testing.
I like these but have had a few go bad after detecting a leak.
It seems if you don't dry them off soon enough, they're toast.
Either way, the day was saved by this device, it's just a shame that they can't be used again unless you get to them in time. You'd think a water sensor would be water proof.
Thank you for your feedback! This sensor is IP64 rated, which means it can take a splash or a drizzle, but it can’t be exposed to rainfall, snowfall, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. We recommend placing the sensor under eve when using it outdoors.
