Aqara Water Leak Sensor for HomeKit

[@ShaneCreates]

Good stuff Rey. Love that automation! Nice job!

[@ReyG_HKSH]

Thanks!

[@magician560]

How do you turn off the automatic alarm sound on the Aqara Hub? I just want the sensor to notify me via notification if there's a leak. I don't want the Aqara Hub to blast everytime there's water. However it seems to default to sounding an alarm the moment leak is detected, and I can't turn that feature off. I've tried to create automation that specify just notification trigger when a leak is detected via Aqara Hub, however the default seems to override it everytime.

Love this sensor it actually saved me from a water leak underneath my sink!!! Great video Rey!

[@DChase19]

I got the Fibaro for around $50 last year and didn't buy anymore because it's expensive. Will pick up some of these, thanks. Another great video!

[@ReyG_HKSH]

These are budget friendly even after you factor in the cost of the hub! Thanks for watching!

[@tommacdougall]

Liked the video, I'm setting up an automation in the Aqara app for the alarm but don't see anyway of controlling the volume of the alarm. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you need to have a Aqaba hub as well or can use just use Alexa?

[@ReyG_HKSH]

Yes an Aqara hub is needed. Thanks for watching! 🙏

Sorry but did I just see a homebridge icon on on your iphone? Is there a homebridge app out there ?

[@dishsoap1]

I gotta get in on some of the Aqara Products.

[@ReyG_HKSH]

They provide some really competitively priced HomeKit compatible devices. Thanks for watching!

[@001looker]

That is what home insurance is for. If my house gets water leak, house insurance will pay for it

[@ReyG_HKSH]

I see you enjoy living life on the edge 😉

[@tonywitt]

Great video. Just got a bunch of Aqara water sensors. Got them set up in Aqara app and HomeKit. However, not seeing sensor in "Sensor Automation" Help!

[@ReyG_HKSH]

When you create a new automation, under events there should be a “when sensor detects…” category.

[@michelrichard1993]

Is it possible to get email notification when the water sensor is activated

[@NewHomeTech]

I need a water shutoff valve that works with HomeKit.

[@ReyG_HKSH]

The main shutoff for the house? That would be a great solution for emergencies but I always try and shutoff the valve on the street vs. the one in the house for liability reasons.

[@NewHomeTech]

Rey G yes the one on the street would be better but say you are on vacation and your water heater decides to take a dump on you just image that water sensor goes off and your water valve closes preventing any major water damage to the house. I know Dome has a water valve shutoff arm that I am looking to see if there is a plugin in HomeBridge that I could use.

[@001looker]

@@NewHomeTech just use your house insurance for house remodeling

[@myHomeKithome]

I love this sensor! I have a similar automation set up with it! GreT video! I’m k

[@ReyG_HKSH]

It’s a great device that we hope we never have a need for 😉

[@c-hd5696]

Great video. What I would love for Siri to Say “Water Leak in Laundry Room”. Do you know if that is possible? I would like to put those water sensors under each sinks, washing machine, dishwasher and in the bathrooms close to showers as well. So it would be a lot to check if it’s just a sound :)

[@ReyG_HKSH]

That is actually possible with a shortcut called “HomePod Notification Recorder,” takes a bit to set up and you’d need to make an scene, like the one I made for the water drip sound, for each location. Thanks for watching!

[@c-hd5696]

@@ReyG_HKSH Great. I will have a look.

[@curt300s]

nice job.

[@ReyG_HKSH]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Lancem01]

So do i need to buy the Aqara hub to have this work in HomeKit? Thanks

[@ReyG_HKSH]

Yes

[@ravindranathwi]
