X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector (SBS50 Base Station Required), 1 SWS0A Water Sensor

I installed the X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Leak Detectors mainly as a precaution around the basement, sump pump, and utility area, and they already proved their value. A few weeks after setting them up, our sump pump failed during heavy rain and the detector sent an alert to my phone almost immediately. I was able to get downstairs and deal with the problem before the pit overflowed and flooded the basement. That alone made these worth every dollar. Setup was straightforward, and the Wi-Fi connection has been stable so far. Notifications come through quickly, and the app makes it easy to see which sensor triggered. I also like that the alarm on the unit itself is loud enough to hear if you’re in the house, but the phone alert is what really makes the difference when you’re not home. Build quality seems good, and the sensors are small enough to place anywhere you might have a leak risk - sump pump, water heater, under sinks, behind the washing machine, etc. Battery installation was simple and the app walked through pairing without much trouble. If you own a home with a basement, sump pump, or anything that could leak, I highly recommend these. Mine already prevented what could have been a very expensive mess, and that makes this one of the easiest 5-star reviews I’ve written.

My wife and I own two condos in Maui. Our AOAO is now requiring leak detectors to help prevent water damage due to leaks while owners are away from their property. We researched several leak detectors that meet the association criteria (sensors located at every water source, wireless connection with 24/7 monitoring, battery state indicators and low battery level warning, multi-property support, Safety agency approved, etc...) and selected this X-Sense system with 10 sensors for each condo. The system was easy to set up and use. While we were concerned over the WiFi 2.4GHz bandwidth requirement, it turned out our multi-band routers hooked up to the base station without issue. It will also survive a power failure which is comforting to know. We were so happy with the system we bought a third system for use in our home in California. We have the X-Sense app on both of our phones now, each of which with a drop down-menu showing the state of all sensors at any one of the three properties. The system claims to support up to 5 households with up to 50 devices each (not just leak sensors but other function like smoke & CO2 detectors). We have had the systems for a few weeks now and outside one alarm (triggered by our cleaner who accidentally brushed up against a sensor in the kitchen with her mop) we have had no issues.

Very easy to install and activate. Provides addition reassurance that another system is being monitored 24/7.

Very well executed set; worked for me when there was water on the floor; easy to set up and lots of options; well designed reasonably priced; I recommend it and bought a second set.

I bought this after reading a review on Wirecutter which mentioned how common water leaks are and how monitors are very easy to install. After setting up the base with the app you can add the monitor pucks with two clicks. I like this kit because it has four monitors and they are not silent, they have a very loud alarm. I don't need to connect it to Alexa or a third party app. Within a month of installing these monitors I was outside in front of my house and the phone alarm blared. I rushed to the kitchen and water was leaking from under my sink. In maybe 30-40 seconds the cabinet under the sink was covered in water but hadn't seeped to the floor yet. If I hadn't caught it so quickly the damages would have been very significant. Water will ruin your house. Get these alarms!

I bought the base unit along with 4 water detectors. It worked so well that I bought six more detectors. Then I purchased one mailbox alert units, then two thermometer sensing units. very easy to setup and monitor on their very supportive app. Highly recommend this the other items that I mentioned above.

Easy to setup and use. Dishwasher overflowed, alarm went off, and I received notiification on my mobile phone.

Was having water in the basement issues so picked this up to help alert me of water issues, sump pump failures. It works as expected. DO keep in mind you need internet access to make sure its working. In the event of a power failure you may not have internet and therefore no alerting to your phone. Suggest a UPS on your controller and any network devices

Great product and app. Was easy to set up and can be added to

Pleasantly surprised at how easy the setup and installation proceeded, compared to another brand of leak detector bought and returned to Amazon because that one was virtually impossible to setup due to convoluted instructions. The X-Sense system comes in attractive protective packaging, with clear and logical instructions for installation and pairing of base unit to network and pairing and identifying of individual sensors. I chose the base unit with 4 sensors plus the optional X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector (SBS50), 3 SWS0A Water Sensors to give me seven sensors to cover all vulnerable locations. Testing confirmed coverage throughout my home. All this and less expensive than many other similar systems

Easy setup, and reliable

Installed 4 around the house. Easy to install. Very loud when water is sensed. Very good quality.

VERY happy with this product! Setup was super easy, and I haven't had any issues with disconnections. I've only had these a few months and they detected a leak under my sink today from an old pipe that had cracked. I liked how insistent it was that I be alerted. The base station alarmed, the app notified me, and I got an email. I don't think I would have noticed the issue for a while, so it likely saved me a bundle in more costly remediation down the line!
