Recommended Leak Detector - Lemmy.world

Can any one recommend the best leak detector (non cloud) that integrates with HA?

If you have a zigbee network the aqara leak detector is a good option. It doesn’t require a hub, cloud or any setup. And if you are willing to wait you can get them on AliExpress for a lot cheaper than Amazon.
It does require a controller though. Just dont want someone seeing this and thinking zigbee magically works without a hub/controller.

That’s a good callout. When I said you need a zigbee network I guess I should have specified an antenna.

My point is that you don’t need the aqara hub, because sometimes people think it’s required.

I have a few of the Aqara leak detectors and they have worked well.

They also have screw terminals that you can attach wires onto to extend the detection area/range. I’ve also seen people attach contact or pressure sensors to them, they are nifty devices.
