I just want water leak sensors that make a loud alarm noise, I don't need wifi connected crap with hubs. I can use my preexisting camera setup to pick up the alarm noise and alert me. I'm home most of the time and if I'm not for an extended period, I typically turn the water off (not entirely, just in zones). Anyone know of any analog water leak sensors?

There are a bunch of options at Home Depot, Lowes, and your local hardware store.
- chankstein38 3y agoAny idea how these leak sensors work? Is it just waiting to potentially be dripped on by a leak? If so, could you just replace the sensor with a gapped circuit that would be bridged by dripping water?
- rpearl 3y agoThey are usually just two exposed contacts waiting to be bridged by water, yeah.
- seszett 3y agoYou can find this kind of sensor on Aliexpress for a few euros, if the hardware stores near you don't carry them.
