X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Sensor water leak detector

The essentials

This compact water leak detector from X-Sense is designed to protect homes from sudden floods and damp problems. With top and bottom probes, it can detect moisture even from very small drips, and the IP67 waterproof rating ensures reliable use in humid spaces near dishwashers or hot water tanks. The device is slim enough to fit into tight spaces, yet robust enough for long term placement, giving you peace of mind whether you are at home or away. The wireless connection keeps you informed via a smartphone app and the SBS50 base station alarm, which can reach up to 100 dB, creating a clear warning in real time. In the event of a detected leak you will see a red light on the sensor and receive an alert on your phone thanks to the integrated app features. This combination of alerting methods helps you react quickly and minimise potential damage, making it a practical addition to kitchens, bathrooms and basements. For users seeking dependable monitoring it offers a sensible balance of coverage, reliability and ease of use 🏠💧

Technical details

The sensor employs two ultra sensitive probes on the top and four on the bottom, capable of sensing water as shallow as 0.3 mm, enabling detection from multiple angles and positions. It connects wirelessly over a substantial open area range of up to 500 m, so you can place it in outbuildings or distant corners and still receive timely app alerts. Batteries offer a long life up to 3 years with replacement extending the lifespan to around 5 years, removing frequent maintenance. The unit is designed for humid environments and maintains functionality without complex setup, provided you pair it with the SBS50 base station for full app capabilities. The accompanying app allows you to adjust the base station alarm volume, mute alarms when needed, view alarm history and share sensors with other users. You can also run tests on the device and receive low battery notifications to stay ahead of any issues. This makes the X-Sense water sensor a pragmatic choice for households prioritising practical, dependable protection against leaks.
