How to Set Up Your Wyze Leak Sensor System

Setting up your Wyze Leak Sensor system is straightforward and integrates smoothly with your existing Wyze Home Monitoring setup.

Step 1: Get the Wyze Sense Hub (Required)

The Wyze Sense Hub acts as the central controller, connecting all your sensors and sending alerts to your phone. You only need one hub per home setup.

Step 2: Add Wyze Leak Sensors & Probes

Choose the sensor pack that fits your home:

2 Probes Pack: Ideal for smaller spaces or targeted leak detection.
3 Sensors and 1 Probe Pack: Best for broader coverage in larger homes.

Step 3: Connect and Monitor via Wyze App

Once paired with the hub, the sensors will notify you instantly if water is detected. The app differentiates between the sensor and probe, so you know exactly where the leak is.

Important Setup Tips:

Ensure your Wyze app and hub firmware are up to date.
Use a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for connectivity.
Place sensors in likely leak areas but indoors only.
The sensor probe must be plugged into a leak sensor to function.
