Overview
The GoveeLife Smart Water Leak Detector 1S is Govee's current Wi-Fi spot-leak sensor system, combining the H5044 Wi-Fi gateway with battery-powered H5059 puck sensors that detect water via dual contact probes. Sensors communicate over a Sub-1G RF link that reaches 550m / 1,804ft, so one gateway can watch over 8 sensors anywhere on the property, sounding a 105 dB alarm, flashing red, and pushing alerts to the Govee Home app and email. With an IP67 rating and up to 5-year battery life, it is a low-maintenance, expandable leak and flood early-warning system for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and water heaters.
Key Highlights
- Ultra-sensitive dual-probe spot sensor triggers a 105 dB customizable alarm with red LED flash and instant app/email alerts the moment water bridges the probes
- Advanced Sub-1G wireless link between sensors and the H5044 Wi-Fi gateway reaches up to 550m / 1,804ft — enough to cover large homes, basements, and outbuildings
- IP67 waterproof sensor lives safely beside dishwashers, sinks, and washing machines, and runs up to 5 years on the included batteries
- 4-level volume control lets you tune the alarm from quiet nighttime to loud daytime; the Find Device feature beeps misplaced sensors
- One H5044 gateway pairs with up to 8 H5059 sensors — start with a 3-pack and expand room by room (gateway requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi)
