The Wiser Water Leakage Sensor detects the presence of water and alerts via an alarm and/or notification. When the sensor is connected to the Wiser Hub and detects water on the floor, it sends out a sound alarm and reports the event to the Wiser Hub. Householders with the Wiser by SE app installed on their smartphones can receive a push notification. The sensor should be placed where leaks are most likely to occur: the bottom level of your home or places like basement, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, bedroom, living room, utility room or anywhere you think leaks are possible. The sensor has two sensing pads at the bottom of the body. The pads are in contact with the floor surface when the sensor is placed in its operating position. The alarm activates when water is present between the pads.
