Wyze Sense Leak Sensor & Probe: Smart Water Leak Detection

Wyze Sense Leak Sensor & Probe in a home environment, monitoring under a sink for leaks

Instant Leak Notifications

The Wyze Sense Leak Sensor & Probe is engineered to detect water leaks quickly and accurately. As soon as moisture is detected, you receive an instant notification via the Wyze app, allowing you to take action before a small leak becomes a major problem.
  • Detects Water Leaks Only: The sensor is specialized for water leaks and does not detect other liquids, gases, or household spills.
  • Dual Detection: Both the main sensor and the optional probe can detect leaks. The Wyze app will specify which device detected the leak, so you know exactly where the issue is.
  • Sensitive Detection: For a leak to be detected, both sensors on the bottom of the device (spaced 0.8 inches apart and 0.5 mm above the ground) must sense moisture, ensuring accurate alerts.
"Wyze Sense Leak Sensor and the probe attachment are used to monitor for water leaks in critical areas like under your sink, dishwasher, or crawlspaces. Receive a notification of a leak before it grows and causes damage to your home."

Flexible Placement & Easy Installation

  • Battery Powered: No hardwiring required. The sensor is powered by a CR2450 battery with up to 18 months of life.
  • Adhesive Backing: Easily mount the sensor wherever leaks are likely to occur.
  • Probe Extension: The probe extends about 1 meter, perfect for hard-to-reach places like under dishwashers or in crawlspaces.
  • Indoor Use Only: Designed for indoor environments, with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance (not weatherproof for outdoor use).

Wide Coverage & Compatibility

  • Long Range: Place the sensor up to 500 feet from the Wyze Sense Hub (in ideal conditions).
  • Operating Conditions: Works in temperatures from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) and humidity up to 85% at 86°F (30°C).
  • System Integration: Requires Wyze Sense Hub and is compatible with Wyze Sense v2 and Wyze Home Monitoring.

How the Wyze Leak Sensor & Probe Work

Main Sensor vs. Probe

  • Main Sensor: Can operate independently to detect leaks on flat surfaces.
  • Probe: An optional extension that must be attached to the main sensor. Ideal for wrapping around pipes or reaching under appliances.
"The probe is an optional attachment for the leak sensor. It helps to wrap around to places that are hard to reach, like underneath a dishwasher or in a crawlspace. The probe cannot work independently, and must be attached to a leak sensor to function."

Pack Options

  • 3 Sensors & 1 Probe: Monitor multiple locations in your home.
  • 2 Probes: Expand your coverage to more hard-to-reach areas.

Why Choose Wyze for Leak Detection?

  • Real-Time Alerts: Get notified instantly on your phone, so you can act fast.
  • Customizable Monitoring: Place sensors wherever you need them most—under sinks, near water heaters, or in basements.
  • Seamless Integration: Works with Wyze Home Monitoring for a complete smart home security solution.
