Leak sensor prevented me from some pain! (infosec.pub)

Had a leak under the sink in our kitchen. I don’t want to imagine what this would have meant on a larger scale, compared the 20€ I spent on the sensor and the 10mins it costed me to install it.

what model sensors are these? are they Z-wave? how long does the battery last?

I'm very interested in a similar setup.

I have the ikea ones (using zigbee), the two aaa batteries in there last about 1/2-1 year.

While not the same as the pictured ones, I can really reccomend them.

Was going to suggest the IKEA one. Pretty decent to use and has a local speaker if you don't have any home assistant devices near by.

The door contacts are good too but I found that I had to connect them a few times before they would register on ZHA
