Cheapest I've seen and been monitoring pricing on this one: TP-Link Tapo T300 Water Leak Sensor. Detect leakage and drips.

Scorptec and Centrecom both have it $31

Insufficient quantity at Centre Com, removed from title. (Mod)
Scorptec surcharge: 1% for card & PayPal payments.
Centre Com surcharge: 1.2% card & PayPal, 2% AmEx payments.

I'm very happy with my TP-Link home automation products and the water leak sensor solution was missing in my household. Ordered 5 to monitor kitchen, laundry, bathrooms. This one monitors drips and flooding. Some monitors only monitor flooding.

Centre Com $31

Scorptec $31

This is cheaper than reduced price on amazon $35

This device compliments my contact sensors, motion sensor solutions that I use from TP-Link and connected to homeassistant.
TP Link App is pretty good on its own.

Hub which is required for this is on sale here and great value:

    Hmm i thought i saw the same deal just yesterday

    • MrBillions on 12/10/2024 - 09:48

      for some reason the moderators took my post down for not meeting the guidelines, no idea why.

  • dammit on 12/10/2024 - 09:23

    $32 at TGG commercial. Can these be paired to a different hub rather than the tplink?

    • MrBillions on 12/10/2024 - 09:47

      Believe it needs tplink hub only. Tp link hub works well with homeassistant for a rock solid integration.

  • TheJoker on 12/10/2024 - 09:23

    Looks like all suppliers are running the deals. Bunnings is 5% cheaper across the board.

    FYI the H200 hub is also on sale

    • dammit on 12/10/2024 - 09:58

      Bunnings shows $39 for me

  • Masakari on 12/10/2024 - 09:28

    What's your use case for this? Where are you worried about water leaking? I have a bunch of multi purpose sensors that do temp/water/mold risk but I couldn't think of anywhere to put them that made sense.

    • Broden on 12/10/2024 - 09:30

      I got them for free from home and contents insurance

      • MrBillions on 12/10/2024 - 09:49

        Which insurance is that, that's a great offer!

          I got them for free with honey insurance too but I won't use them again after my wife and I went to change some policy details and waited for several hours on hold before giving up and cancelling insurance. This was just updating details… Imagine making a claim!

    • snoopydoop on 12/10/2024 - 09:30

      I was thinking about putting this inside but near the top of the bathtub to give me a reminder it's almost full. Could that be a usecase for this? Or it wouldn't be appropriate for some reason?

      • Joost on 12/10/2024 - 09:46

        I think a Float Valve would be more appropriate, although you'd need one for humans lol. You mount it at the water level you want to fill to, when the water reaches that level the float seals the in-flow.
        I'd imagine someone would make them.

        • snoopydoop on 12/10/2024 - 10:00

          Oh super interesting, seems like a good solution, thank you!

      • MilkDrinker on 12/10/2024 - 10:36

        Alternative to Joosts suggestion is a magiplug, though it sticks out a bit of the bathtub bottom, or a Smart Plug from bathroomwerx, but i havent tried that yet

      Be good under washing machines, plumbed fridge, flexible hoses have a habit of bursting when one is away on holidays. Something like this has been on my to do list for a while!

      • Masakari on 12/10/2024 - 10:06

        But challenging to change batteries?

        Turning the water off at the main could help when one is away on holidays?

      I use to live in a unit and a lot of the older units they have a small hot water tank inside the laundry area. These tanks will eventually leak and flood your unit.Luckily mine had a small leak and I was able to catch it in time before the whole thing failed and flooded my unit. So having one of these to alert any leaks is very handy.

      I have these generic zigbee ones from aliexpress deployed under sinks around the house, to catch any small leaks that can happen from taps/drain pipes.

      they are like $8 each and just connect to home assistant. the cr2036 battery lasts almost 2 years as majority of the time it isn't doing much besides the odd call home to report on battery life.

      the cool thing about these ones are they have probes on the bottom of the device as well as the top so if the leak does not land on the device but next to it, the bottom probes will pick up the leak from the puddle of water.

    You can also try price beat at Bunnings then it's $27.60 per unit but you will have to wait as it's a special order and pick up in store. Plus try 2-3 bunnings live chats people because they are totally inconsistent and sometimes want to factor in shipping costs. it's random depending who you get. Bunnings should be investigated with their fake price beat policies.

    If you're after an alternative, I'll recommend the IKEA one. I have one connected to my HA.

    • Sunnyoz on 12/10/2024 - 10:55

      Any links for the ikea one mate , cheers

        Search for IKEA Badring.

  • nsavi on 12/10/2024 - 10:52

    Are there “things” that can be fitted to shower heads that cut off water automatically after few minutes. I need something like this to prevent my kids from wasting a lot of water.

    • mysterytal on 12/10/2024 - 12:30

      Use your fist on the wall and your voice to scream "GET OUT OF THE SHOWER!!!!".

      Water doesn't cost too much. If you're worried then have a friendly chat wth the kids.

      Not what you specifically asked for but have a look into the Methven Kiri II shower head, it uses 4.5L/min so limits the damage :D you can get one from eBay Uk for about $80 delivered now.

      • maruko on 12/10/2024 - 16:05

        That’s a great price. Do you have link to that ebay listing

  • Kabal on 13/10/2024 - 10:09

    IKEA has a zigbee water leak sensor for $15

    • MrBillions on 13/10/2024 - 22:42

      the ikea one is "just' leak but no dripping. the tp link one does Dripping & Leaking detection.
      ikea is good value but i specifically wanted to detect dripping
