Emir BardakçıThe much-awaited Xiaomi Water Leak Detector 2 is finally on sale in China, with a price tag of 69 yuan (approximately $9.50). After gaining popularity via a crowdfunding campaign on the Xiaomi Youpin platform, this advanced leak detector is now up for purchase on popular e-commerce sites. Created for multiple-scenario leak detection purposes, this second-generation leak alarm improves home safety features and smart home experiences on the smart home system powered by Mi Home and Xiaomi HyperConnect.
Highly parameterized design for multiple scenario leakages
The newly-launched water sensor by Xiaomi comes with a dual-probe design placed on the underside, which allows it to detect even if the water is only 0.5mm deep. The detection process, which is done instantly, includes an immersion alarm system to avoid any serious damage arising from leaks. Its top water collection system includes a spray alarm if both sensors are immersed in water with conductivity.
This smart design will enable one to place this device in a kitchen, bathroom, basement, or even areas with household appliances, anywhere there might be some unknown water leakage.
Flexible Alarm Options for Instant Notification
The Xiaomi Water Leak Detector 2 comes with three intelligent alarm modes to ensure you do not miss any alert:
- Audible and visual alarm: An integral alarm buzzer and visual indicator warn all users immediately if immersion or spraying with water is detected.
- Smart App Alarm: Using Mi Home App, one can check remotely the water immersion status and even have notifications for alarms in real-time.
- Linked smart device alarm: If it is connected with other devices from Xiaomi such as speakers and/or lights, it allows consumers to initiate alarms.
Long Battery Life and Durable IP67 Rating
The power source for this device is CR2450 button battery, which offers battery life up to 3 years due to Xiaomi’s low power consumption technology. Additionally, it is dustproof and waterproof with IP67 rating, which allows it to function effectively even in environments with high humidity levels or dust.
Further, it is fully compatible with Xiaomi HyperConnect, offering automated interactions with smart home devices. The device can send notifications via Xiaomi Smart Speakers, and even turn off water valves if connected to appropriate devices.
A Small Device with Big Smart Home Impact
The Xiaomi Water Leak Detector 2 might be small in terms of design, but it makes a world of difference in terms of improved home safety and convenience. Its 3-year life span, smart alarm systems, and connectivity with all things smart from Xiaomi cannot be ignored.
