WiFi Water Sensors?
Any successful product? Must be wifi, no hub and do notifications. Integration into control system (TC) not required but would be a bonus. Small would be nice but reliability more important.
Customer will have Ra2 but not seeing any lutron water sensors.

No security system?

Why would you want to over complicate such a simple device by putting WiFi between it and the controller? I personally prefer contact closure for water sensors because that is one notification you want to get even if the network is down.

0Re: WiFi Water Sensors?
I dont understand your question. Wifi between it and the controller? I dont want a hub as we dont want to deal with distance, communication, etc. I, too, would prefer hardwired! Of course we all would. Not happening, not possible. Are you saying there are no wifi devices or no way to do it without a controller?
Other suggestions then based on my needs?
Thanks

Just some personal experience to share.
When I moved last year, I went from hardwired panel to a Ring with sensors just to see what they had in the market.
I'm incredibly impressed with how well the Ring works, especially the water sensors.
So far the alarm has caught a leaking pipe, HVAC pan clog with overflow and leaking washing machine tub.
The sensors are cheap, the monitoring is cheap and the whole thing works really really well for the $ spent.
If you want a great, cheap solution, RING does this very very well.

You can do it with a PiZeroW, a $9 sensor and about a dozen lines of Python.
