Review on 🚰 Smart WiFi Water Sensor 100dB Alarm: Tuya App Remote Monitoring, 5.9FT Leak Detection, Adjustable Ringtones by Mark Quarterman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Difficult to set up, questionable app

First of all, it's not easy to set up, the manual is poorly written and very confusing. However, after some trial and error, I managed to link it to the app. He claimed to work w. Google Assistant, which turns out not to be the case as Google Home doesn't support a water sensor. Following the instructions to link Google Home to the Tuya app does nothing and the water sensor doesn't show up on Google Home at all. Finally, the app looks questionable, it runs in the background. According to the Android system, he tried to access the microphone and camera. The app claims to need to run in the background to ensure notifications are delivered, but as an experienced mobile software developer, that's not necessary and no other smart home apps do this. The sensor does its job, but use your judgment to its advantage.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Big and bulky
