Review on D-Link Wi-Fi Water Leak Sensor and Alarm Starter Kit: Ultimate Whole Home Protection with App Notification, AC Powered, No Hub Required by Daniel Roe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needed this after a recent toilet flood, tested and working, peace of mind

So far I'm happy with this purchase after installing it in response to the downstairs bathroom flooding. My niece has unfortunately clogged our toilet twice since she finished, causing flooding which meant we needed some sort of detection so we could spot it in the future once it happened. Luckily we now have this D-Link sensor kit, which works as described so far, although if it reports accurately, as it did in the last two tests, we'll have to see when the actual leak occurs. Installation is easy and took about 15 minutes. There is no problem connecting the main alarm base to WiFi or using the dlink app. I had to pair the wireless sensor with the main alarm base, which took the most time compared to any other step. Eventually though, it hooked up and now I have two sensors, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom, ready to detect any flooding. I tested the alarm feature to see if the water under the sensors would actually alert me via notifications on my iPhone. It notified me both times I tested it, but with a delay of about 10 seconds. Overall I would recommend this kit based on my initial testing and ease of installation. Will be updated in the future if a leak cannot be found.
