The Water Leak Sensor Starter Kit is an easy to use DIY leak detection solution for the home that notifies you of any water leaks as soon as they occur, so you can avoid costly water damage repairs from leaks that go undetected. The kit includes a Master Unit (or Hub) with attachable sensing cable, and a battery powered sensing Pod. The Hub plugs into any wall outlet, while the sensing Pod can be placed in areas susceptible to water leaks such as the washing machine, water heater, under sinks. The Pod sports two pre-installed AAA batteries for up to 5 years of battery life. Both units are super easy to set up and come pre-paired to the mydlink app which can be downloaded onto your smartphone and easily connected to your home’s existing WiFi. The multi-alert system (audible, visual, mobile) makes it accessible whether home or away. The Hub’s LED strobe light is powerful for visual notification, while the Hub’s built in 100 dB alarm is easily heard. You can also connect to Google Speaker for voice alerts, and finally rich notifications are sent to your mobile phone. Scalable and versatile you can add up to 16 Pods throughout your home. The Pods low profile design make it easy to place discreetly and the sensing cable allows for more out of reach placement. The reliable mydlink water sensor kit is always on so when you are away you have peace of mind.

detects water but the notifications are irregular; won't talk to Home Assistant
When the probe gets wet, it triggers the alarm as-expected. However, the period between state changes (e.g., going from wet to dry or dry to wet) is way, way, way too short. As a result, when the probe gets wet, it vacillates between wet and dry multiple times per second and each time resulting in a notification being generated. That is, the alarm chirps in an almost strobe-like manner and my phone "blows up" with multiple notifications per second. I'm extremely reluctant to configure a "designated contact" with a phone number. I understand that the contact is notified when a button is tapped on the notification (i.e., it's not automatic), I don't trust the app to stay within its walled garden. The wired device (DCH-S162) supports integration with Alexa and Google Assistant. This is configured via the MyDlink app. This leads me to believe that there is some kind of API or MQTT support by which the device communicates; however, there is not (yet) support for Home Assistant. There is support for the DCH-S160 via 3rd party integration; however, that integration doesn't support the DCH-S161. Moreover, the product listing asserts that this device is not compatible with the DCH-S161 which leads me to believe that there is yet another variation in communication mechanisms. (i.e., if Home Assistant supported the DCH-S161 and this device was compatible with DCH-S161s, it may be possible to get Home Assistant to talk to it). If the device was supported by Home Assistant, one could trigger notification upon continued state of water detection *for more than 5 seconds* to resolve the aforementioned notification issue; similarly, it could be used to trigger a secondary pump to run. But it doesn't, so I can't. If I were to do this project over again, I would likely go with a SOC device (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) that I could control; however, for a typical consumer, I suspect that this device would be sufficient.

Easy set up. Excellent customer support!
I read the reviews of people having trouble pushing the set buttons on the back of the sensors when pairing. The easiest solution is to push the button firmly with the rounded end of a ball point pen cap for about 2-3 seconds and you will get the light! The setup and pairing are very easy. Be advised that you must have a smart phone for set up and that the notifications are limited to push notifications through the mydlink app. No text, email, or phone notifications are available. All things considered this product is very reasonably priced and the sensors work well. The sensors are small enough to fit under your dishwasher and refrigerator, and the cable sensor is perfect for going under the washing machine.

A Very Disappointing Product
I read a review in a trusted New York newspaper that rated the d-Link DCH 162 hub and DCH 163 water leak sensors very highly. I needed water leak protection so I bought the package on Amazon and subsequently purchased a 3-pack of sensors from d-Link (not available through Amazon). The first problem I noticed was how difficult it is to put the sensors into pairing mode. You have to stand close to the hub and press the pairing button on the bottom of the sensor with all the finger strength you have. I paired 4 sensors and they were all tough to activate. The mobile app walks you through the set up, which is pretty easy. I changed the system-generated sensor ID to the locations of where the sensors were placed. For example DCH-S163-0E48 was changed to 3rd floor bathroom. Unfortunately the app still shows the original number instead of the label on 2 of my 4 devices. If I drill into the device details it shows “3rd floor bathroom” but not on the home page where I need it. The labels seem to change around so I suspect it’s a bug in their software. Last week one of my devices displayed in the mobile app as off-line. The device had been placed behind a stacked washer / dryer and wasn’t accessible without moving the machines. When I drilled into the detail of the device from the Home Screen of the mobile app the status showed as being in power-save mode. I called d-Link support and was told not to worry about the off-line status on the Home Screen. I was assured that it would still sound an alarm if water were detected. I was not convinced since the other 3 sensors showed as being in power-save mode from the Home Screen. I eventually moved the machines, removed the device through the app and set it up again. It now shows correctly as being in power-save mode. When I first set up the hub I enabled notifications and ran the recommended water test and after an initial notification failure re-ran the test was notified on my phone of a water leak. This was great except when our water actually leaked under the kitchen sink today and I was out of the house I didn’t receive a notification . I did, however, receive a frantic call from my wife about water pouring onto the kitchen floor. I could hear the alarm in the background (very loud). When the alarm first sounded she ran upstairs thinking we had a leak under the washing machine only to discover it was in the kitchen when she came back downstairs. She asked why the system didn't tell us the location of the leak; good question. I’m hoping my experience with this system improves. Right now I have little confidence in either their mobile app or support. I’m disappointed in d-Link.

Make sure you test it and the app.
Pleased with it. It would be good if the email message would trigger an alarm on the phone. It is easy to miss the email. Maybe the email notificaton could trigger a ring tone, like a fire alarm. I tried to figure out how to do it without success. That would be a great feature. If anyone out there can figure out who to do that, I would like to know. Thanks.
