Heiman Water Leak Sensor Zigbee

Quick verdict

An affordable way to add Zigbee water leak detection throughout your home. It runs fully local through Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, with no cloud account and no internet dependency. The budget price point means you can place them under every sink, near every water heater, and by the washing machine at a reasonable price. A practical choice for anyone already running a Zigbee coordinator.

Standout: Affordable Zigbee water leak sensor that runs fully local through Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA.
