Long battery life - + +

Ok - so 3 things -
1 - is long battery life .. meaning great for attics and basements - harder to get to areas

2- is it looks like a sensor ... so it doesn't get put in trash by cleaners / "helpful" people if they see it behind a toilet

And -
3- enough surface to attach QR code / label

Good job Insteon

They work but poor craftsmanship

I have been using these leak sensors for a number of years and they have functioned as stated. My issue is that they are cheaply made, most notably the bottom piece. While the battery life is good, they do have to be replaced and after that has been done a couple of times, the bottom piece which is removed to get to the battery cracks. Once it cracks, getting the sensor to work again is a losing proposition. I just replaced 3 of these units for exactly that reason.

Leak sensor

Purchased several of these after experiencing a water leak that damaged a wood floor. Also purchased and added an electrical water shutoff valve controlled by an Insteon I/O link module. The leak sensors send a signal to an Insteon I/O link module to shut off the electric water valve when any sensor detects a leak, thereby preventing continuous flooding.

The leak sensors work well, and can be set up to send an email notification when they activate. I have caught a couple leaks that were detected before any damage, so am happy I had them. The AA batteries last for a long time, and the Insteon director app can be used to see if the are sending out a “heartbeat” so you know the sensor is active and the battery level good.

The only downside is it can be a pain when they stop working and have to be removed from a scene, as has happened on a couple of occasions. Also I have asked Insteon to write in code so you will get notification that the battery is low or the sensor is not responding, but after several years, this still has not been done.

Would say they are worth getting, as it could help mitigate a major water damage issue, especially if you add in an electrical home water supply valve shutoff.
