Smart water sensor for home security
The Extralink Smart Life water sensor provides a reliable solution for early detection of pipe breaks, leaks, or other unexpected water intrusions. The flood detector continuously monitors critical points and sends immediate alerts to your smartphone, allowing you to respond quickly before serious damage occurs.
How does water leak detection work?
The sensor points located at the bottom of the device continuously check for contact with water. As soon as moisture is detected, the device:
- gives an audible alarm (flood alert),
- sends a notification to the connected mobile application,
- logs the event for later retrieval.
This system not only provides immediate alerts but also helps in identifying the cause of the issues later.
Smart home integration and remote control
The device connects to your home Wi-Fi network and is accessible via the Smart Life app. Thanks to the smart features:
- you can monitor the status of the water sensor from anywhere,
- you receive instant push notifications in case of water leaks,
- you can connect it with other smart devices (e.g., smart plugs, electric valves).
This way, you can even automate the response, for example, shutting off the main water supply using a compatible solenoid valve if the system detects a leak.
Typical usage locations
The water leak sensor can be discreetly placed in almost any room where there is a risk of water intrusion:
- under the washing machine, dishwasher, or boiler,
- under the sink and kitchen furniture,
- near the bathroom, toilet,
- on the floor of the basement, garage, or cellar,
- near heating systems (boiler, pipe connections).
The sooner you detect a leak, the lower the chance of structural damage, warping of the flooring, or mold formation.
