THIRDREALITY Zigbee Water Leak Sensor Drip Detection 120dB Alarm Enables Home Assistant and App Notifications at Work While Working with Zigbee HUB Compatible with SmartThings, Aeotec, Third Reality

Ein Zigbee Wasser-Sensor... Sehr gut daran ist die Tatsache, daß der Sensor mit AAA Batterien gefüttert wird, und nicht mit irgendwelchen exotischen Knopfzellen. Spontanes Anlernen in Home Assistant, via Z2MQTT, keinerlei Probleme. Bisher funktioniert mein Sensor ohne Macken...

A good value for money and very easy to use leak detection device. Simply add batteries (supplied) connect the extension arm if desired and it's up and ready to go. Noise level is adequate ( not officially measured it's decibel level) but I've been able to hear it from another room. Pleased with my purchase.

The Thirdreality sensor case has a distinct form factor, but in a house with a number of other small sensors of various types, that could be a good thing. Good build quality, and reliable operation so far. Stuff I've liked: It had the best range for pairing and operating of the ones that I've tried. It had a loud, on-board alarm. The version with the drip leak function can optionally detect very small amounts of water, depending upon physical configuration. It has paired easily and worked well with my Hubitat system. It uses common AAA batteries. Possible issues: Where an audible alarm is not wanted, another brand/model sensor would be needed. The case is much thicker than others in its class, and may not fit beneath a refrigerator or other device. The first unit I received used slot-head screws. A very small screwdriver was included in the box, a really thoughtful touch. But, a jeweler's kit, like many folks use to tighten eyeglass screws, would be much easier. The sensors in a subsequent order had screws that could be worked with either a Phillips or straight-bladed driver. Where a low-profile case, or a sensor with a remote head, is not needed, this is my choice so far for an inexpensive Zigbee unit. Background: Most homes have many potential sources of leaks - water heater, dish washer, clothes washer, refrigerator, bathroom plumbing, etc. - that could cause expensive damage. I decided to buy and try five different, inexpensive, Zigbee leak detectors that might work directly with my Hubitat home automation hub. They were by iAlarm, Neo, Thirdreality, and Treatlife, and a generic "Water Leak Detector Zigbee" was added to the mix. At the time of my purchase (August, 2023), each was slightly less than $20. All worked properly with my system using the Hubitat "Generic Zigbee Moisture Sensor" driver. All but the Thirdreality also worked with the custom "Tuya NEO Coolcam Zigbee Water Leak Sensor" driver, which adds an explicit state indication of online or offline. But, both drivers support current wet/dry status and battery % reporting. A tip would be to install the custom driver first, if desired, then let Hubitat choose it during device pairing. Also, each of these should be paired within a couple of feet of the hub, then moved to the desired location. Some thoughts about the group: Overall build quality of the group seemed quite good, with the exception of the generic "Water Leak Detector Zigbee", which was only mediocre. The Thirdreality and Treatlife devices have onboard alarms, and could be used as stand-alone detectors, although there appear to be several detectors available that are only stand-alone, and less expensive than the Zigbee devices. The Thirdreality alarm is much louder than the Treatlife's. The Thirdreality unit had a longer range than the others, both in pairing and in operation. It and the Treatlife both use common AAA batteries, but I haven't used these sensors long enough to be able to compare battery life. The Neo device was the only one with a "remote" sensor - limited to the length of the attaching cord, but still may be needed functionality. However, the cord actually plugs into the wall mount, not the unit itself, so the mount must be used when remote sensing.

Works as expected and the battery last long time. Used with Home Assistant and paired with Z2M.

Ricomprata un'altra coppia di sensori. Certe volte conviene prendere la coppia mentre altre articoli da 1 pezzo ciascuno. 4 stelle solo perché non c'è modo di renderlo un allarme silenzioso. Ottimo la possibilità di usare due batterie AAA anche economiche e la batteria sembra durare molto.
