I got a couple of these to go under sinks after a recent water leak. They're nice and small and will sit discreetly at the back of a cupboard. The information suggests pairing with an aqara hub, but as they're zigbee devices, they also pair with my sonoff zigbee dongle plus. Using ZHA they expose moisture (wet or dry), device temp (as expected, this runs hotter than ambient temperature) , firmware and battery. The battery showed 84% immediately, then rapidly 73% - this is something I've noticed with some of my other aqara zigbee devices, although the battery then seems to stay very stable at that level for a long time. The first time I tried to pair the device was unsuccessful. A 5 second press of the reset button didn't seem to make if visible to my zigbee network. The second time, I bought it close to my zigbee dongle, and held the reset button until the blue light flashed, and continued to hold the button until it paired with ZHA - this took approximately 20 seconds. In a crude test I poured about 10 ml of water next to the device and let it trickly underneath - it took about a minute, but then triggered my leak detection automation. I think it took some time for the water to spread and get in contact with the 2 sensors which are underneath the device. When I remove it from the water, it immediately records dry. When I placed it back in the small 10ml pool of water on the surface, it immediately recorded wet again. I'm pretty happy that this will rapidly detect a fairly small leak.

I have been using the Aqara Water Leak Sensor for a few months now and I have to say, I am extremely impressed with its performance. This sensor is designed to detect water leaks and alert you immediately, which can help prevent costly water damage. The installation process was very easy, it comes with a double-sided adhesive tape which I used to stick it to the floor near any potential water leaks, such as under the sink, near the washing machine, etc. It also comes with a CR2450 battery that lasts for about two years. One of the things I appreciate the most about this sensor is its sensitivity, it can detect even the smallest amount of water and sends an alert to my smartphone through the Aqara app. I have set it up to send notifications to my phone and it has worked flawlessly, I have received alerts even when the water leak was very small. I also like that it is compatible with other smart home devices, such as my smart plugs, and I can set up automations to turn off the water supply when it detects a leak. This feature gives me peace of mind knowing that even if I am not home, my smart devices will act on it. Overall, I think the Aqara Water Leak Sensor is an excellent investment for anyone looking to prevent water damage in their home. It is easy to install, extremely sensitive, and can be integrated with other smart home devices. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable water leak sensor.

I purchased this to make a bed presence sensor using it along with a pressure sensor mat. This was very easy to setup and incorporate within Home Assistant. It was just a case of wiring two wires from the mat to the screws on the bottom of this sensor and the sensor was detected within HA without using an Aqara Hub - it's a Zigbee device and I have a Zigbee dongle so had no additional hub required. Once added in HA, I configured it as an on/off switch rather than a water sensor. There's a few readily available guides for setting it up this way. I've been using it for a couple of months now without any problem at all, it's super reliable and also the battery is still at 77%. I've no idea how well this works as a water/leak sensor but for my use case it's great and anyone else wanting to try setting it up as a bed presence sensor in HA and be able to create automations based on whether your in bed or not, it's great - recommended.

I've had one of these behind the washing machine and one under the bath for almost 2 years now, and they're still going strong with their original batteries and a flawless connection. One is paired with an Aqara M2 hub then exposed to Home Assistant through HomeKit, the other directly to the HA server with a ZHA dongle. Both react immediately on contact with water and deactivate quickly when moved away, and using Aqara automations the M2 hub can sound a siren while water is detected. You can also loosen the exposed terminals and attach your own wires to them. This way they can detect water in places the sensor would not fit, or in several nearby locations with the same sensor.

Great product. Easy to set up and automate into my smart home. I use it in my fish tank to detect a leak and if it does, turn off my pumps. It’s also very easy to extend its reach by adding some wire to the bottom pins and placing exactly where you want it. Just make sure the wires are close enough to complet the circuit when water touches it. So it can detect a leak

Paid off very quickly. Compression nut failed before stopcock while we were away for a few weeks. Only a few litres of water leaked before someone with keys could visit the house to close the water at water meter.

Absolutely rubbish

家にいない時が多く安心用に買いました。 作動しない事を望んでいます。

Il sensore di perdite d'acqua Aqara SJCGQ11LM è un dispositivo Zigbee progettato per rilevare la presenza di acqua in ambienti domestici o professionali e segnalare tempestivamente eventuali perdite, allagamenti o infiltrazioni. È compatibile con l'ecosistema Aqara Home, Apple HomeKit, Home Assistant (tramite Zigbee2MQTT o ZHA) e altre piattaforme compatibili con Zigbee. Caratteristiche principali: - Protocollo di comunicazione: Zigbee (Zigbee 1.2) - Alimentazione: CR2032 (sostituibile) - Classe di protezione: IP67 (resistente a polvere e immersione temporanea) - Rilevamento tramite due pin metallici alla base - Design compatto Pregi: 1. Affidabilità impeccabile nel tempo Dopo oltre un anno di utilizzo continuo, il sensore si è dimostrato estremamente affidabile: Zero falsi allarmi, Nessuna perdita di comunicazione Zigbee, Batteria ancora in buono stato Questo è uno degli aspetti più importanti per un sensore di sicurezza: non solo deve funzionare, ma deve farlo sempre. Questo Aqara lo fa egregiamente. 2. Installazione facilissima Non richiede alcuna configurazione complicata. Basta accoppiarlo al coordinatore Zigbee tramite premendo sul simbolo "goccia", posizionarlo nel punto desiderato (es. sotto lavandini, vicino alla lavatrice o alla caldaia) e dimenticarsene. Funziona da subito. 3. Compattezza e discrezione Il design minimale e le dimensioni ridotte permettono di posizionarlo ovunque senza intralcio. Non ha cavi, è leggerissimo e può essere messo anche sotto mobili bassi. 4. Compatibilità eccellente Funziona perfettamente con Home Assistant, sia con ZHA che con Zigbee2MQTT, e di conseguenza può essere integrato in automazioni avanzate, come: Notifiche istantanee, attivazione sirene, chiusura automatica dell'elettrovalvola dell'acqua 5. Impermeabilità certificata IP67 Può essere tranquillamente esposto ad acqua e umidità. In caso di allagamento, continua a comunicare senza problemi. Difetti 1. Nessun test manuale integrato Non c’è un pulsante di “test allarme”. Per testarlo, bisogna fisicamente bagnare i due elettrodi. Una funzione di test sarebbe comoda per verificare periodicamente il corretto funzionamento. 2. Manca un allarme acustico integrato Il dispositivo non emette alcun suono: in caso di allarme, serve un sistema domotico per notificare l’utente o attivare un avvisatore esterno. Se viene usato in modo standalone, non segnala nulla da solo. 3. Comunicazione unidirezionale e senza feedback Il sensore non invia aggiornamenti regolari se non rileva cambiamenti (non invia heartbeat frequenti come altri sensori). Anche se ciò contribuisce a prolungare la durata della batteria, può creare incertezza sul suo stato di salute se non monitorato correttamente. 4. Versione Zigbee 1.2 Pur funzionando benissimo, il supporto al protocollo Zigbee 3.0 (presente nei modelli più recenti Aqara) garantisce interoperabilità e aggiornamenti futuri migliori. Questo modello resta comunque molto valido, ma è tecnicamente meno moderno. Batteria: Dopo oltre 12 mesi di utilizzo la batteria non è ancora da sostituire, anzi segna 70% Questo conferma la bassissima richiesta energetica del dispositivo. Conclusioni Il sensore di perdite d'acqua Aqara SJCGQ11LM è una scelta eccellente per chi cerca un dispositivo semplice, affidabile e integrabile in un sistema domotico. Dopo oltre un anno di utilizzo, si è dimostrato totalmente privo di problemi: mai una disconnessione, mai un falso positivo, mai un segnale mancato. Consigliato soprattutto se hai un ecosistema Zigbee già funzionante. È il tipo di sensore “installalo e dimenticalo” che dà sicurezza reale, senza bisogno di manutenzione frequente. Pro: Funzionamento impeccabile nel tempo Facilità di installazione Design compatto e impermeabile Ottima integrazione in domotica Contro: Nessun allarme sonoro integrato Protocollo Zigbee 1.2 Manca un test di autodiagnostica Si, lo consiglierei ad occhi chiusi ad amici e parenti

Hace poco compre 2, pero fui tonto de no mirar bien. Si no tienes un HUB, no funcionan. El fallo es mio, lo pone en la misma portada del producto. Lo tuve que devolver ya que no dispongo de un hub de aqara, ni tengo pensado adquirir uno. No por nada, si no ya tengo otros y otro mas. Es muchas apps en el teléfono, llamar manolo enciende esto, paga esto o entrar en diferentes apps para mirar, dinero etc.. Tengo que decir que llego volando el paquete, se ven de una calidad brutal, lastima del hub. Pero los recomiendo, por lo pequeños que son, son muy bonitos, táctil, wifi etc.. La devolución de 10, el producto de 10, el envio de 10. Recomiendo el producto quien tenga o quiera adquirir un HUB, si no es inservible. Pense que funcionaria, con app y listo. Fallo mio vuelvo y repito. Son enanos, de buena calidad, hechos con cariño, al detalle y llevan la pila incluida. 4 estrellas por obligación de un hub específico. Doy 5 por el vendedor.

Werkt prima in Home Assistant via ZHA. Wat niet beschreven staat is hoe je het apparaat in pairing mode zet. Dit doe je door stevig op de bovenkant te drukken en dan gaat er een blauwe led flitsen. Zoals je in de foto ziet is er geen enkele indicatie dat het überhaupt een knop is. Geen internet, app, subscription of speciale hub nodig en dus geen enshittification. Willekeurig zigbee netwerk is voldoende.

J'ai eu quelques difficultés pour appairer le capteur au hub M2. Le bouton goutte d'eau n'est pas sensible, il faut tâtonner longtemps. Par contre ensuite fonctionne parfaitement. Très réactif, le signal zigbee est instantané, le hub M2 déclenche une alarme sonore, envoie une notification sur le smartphone et chez moi déclenche un module switch T1 avec neutre actionnant une électrovanne coupant l'arrivée d'eau juste après compteur. Le zigbee rend le système indépendant d'Internet, en cas de coupure ADSL l'électrovanne est encore actionnée. Donc plus de sécurité!. Le hub est indispensable et permet d'ajouter des capteurs, j'ai 3 capteurs inondations connectés sans problème. L'application Aqara home permet de gérer le tout et elle n'est pas buggée!!
