Full details
This 3-pack of YoLink Water Leak Sensors is designed for homeowners seeking reliable water leak detection without relying on Wi-Fi. Its key benefit is the extensive 1/4 mile LoRa range, ensuring coverage in challenging areas. A caveat is the mandatory requirement of a YoLink Hub for full functionality. These sensors provide early alerts for potential water damage, are easy to install, and offer long battery life, making them ideal for monitoring areas prone to leaks.

FAQs
Do I need a YoLink Hub to use these sensors?
Yes, a YoLink Hub (such as the SpeakerHub or original Hub) is required for these sensors to function and send alerts. They do not connect directly to Wi-Fi or your phone.
How does the 1/4 mile range work?
The range is achieved through LoRa (Long Range) technology, which is designed for long-distance, low-power communication. This range is an 'open-air' measurement and actual range may vary based on environmental factors like walls and interference.
What happens if my internet goes out?
YoLink sensors use Control-D2D device-to-device pairing. If your internet or Wi-Fi goes down, the sensors can still detect leaks and potentially trigger other directly paired YoLink devices. However, you will not receive app notifications until the internet connection is restored.
How long do the batteries last?
The sensors are powered by two AAA batteries and are designed to last over 5 years under normal operating conditions.
Can I use these sensors outdoors?
These sensors are designed for indoor use. Exposure to weather, extreme temperatures, or direct moisture could damage the unit and void the warranty.
How do I know when to replace the batteries?
The YoLink app will provide a low battery notification for each sensor when it's time to replace them. You can check the battery status anytime in the app.
What is the warranty period for these sensors?
The product information does not specify the warranty period. Please refer to the retailer or YoLink's official website for detailed warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not pairing with Hub
Ensure the Hub is powered on and within range. Check the Hub's status in the YoLink app. Try bringing the sensor closer to the Hub during the pairing process. Reset the sensor by removing and reinserting batteries, then attempt pairing again.
False leak alerts
Check if the sensor is placed in an area prone to condensation or high humidity. Ensure the probes are not dirty or corroded. Verify the sensor is not located where dripping from pipes or other sources could falsely trigger it.
No alerts received
Confirm the sensor is paired and online in the YoLink app. Verify that notifications are enabled in the app settings and on your smartphone. Check the Hub's internet connection and the sensor's battery level.
Sensor shows 'offline' in app
Check the battery level of the sensor. If low, replace the batteries. Ensure the Hub is online and within range of the sensor. Try moving the sensor closer to the Hub.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible YoLink Hub (SpeakerHub or original Hub) powered on and connected to your network.
- Follow the YoLink app instructions to pair each Water Leak Sensor with your Hub. This typically involves pressing a button on the sensor.
- Place the sensor on a dry, flat surface near the area you want to monitor. The sensor should be positioned so the detection probes are close to the floor or the base of the appliance.
Compatibility:
- Required: YoLink Hub (SpeakerHub or original Hub).
- Recommended: YoLink app for notifications and status monitoring.
- These sensors are part of the YoLink ecosystem and are not designed to integrate with other smart home platforms directly without a compatible YoLink Hub.
Care:
- Keep the sensor and its detection probes clean and free of debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
- Avoid exposing the sensor to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Replace AAA batteries when the YoLink app indicates a low battery level (typically lasts over 5 years).
- Ensure the sensor is placed where water can reach the detection probes if a leak occurs.
