Review on Aqara Water Leak Sensor: Wireless Mini Flood Detector for Alarm System & Smart Home Automation - Works with IFTTT by Czesawa Wlazo ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

If not for this long way of setting up, I would put five, because. the sensor performs its main task. It works on a leak and it is possible to set up joint scenarios. Of course, you can use the application from Aqara, but this requires a native hub from a similar manufacturer. In practice, the application from Xiaomi Mi Home is more like it. Pros below: Works with Mi Smart Home Hub, Xiaomi Mi Home ecosystem and Smart Home. When setting up, the Smart Home application with a connected Xiaomi account will automatically display a message that new devices have appeared and add them to the general list. It remains to indicate only the premises in which they are located. Different cons: Setting in the Mi Home application in the presence of a hub from Xiaomi in a non-standard way. The standard way through clicking on + (adding a device) automatically or manually, unfortunately, will not work. Many people think that the sensors are not compatible with their hub, because. the app says so. This is a defect of Xiaomi it-shniks, which is easily treated. You have to set it up like this. Click on the icon of your main hub, select Zigbee child devices, click on the blue + at the bottom right, then you can select Mi Wireless Switch (or click any icon), it will search for devices for 60 seconds, at this moment click on the body in the center of the Aqara Water Leak Sensor for about 5-6 seconds, so that the blue LED blinks, and the hub will automatically detect and install it. Important! Be at the setup with the hub nearby.
