Summary
The Aeotec Water Sensor 8 detects water leaks early, monitors temperature and humidity, and warns of potential mold to protect your home. With easy installation, tamper protection, a USB-C port, and a flexible probe, it fits any space. Powered by Z-Wave, it ensures reliable communication and seamless integration with smart home devices for complete control and peace of mind.
Intelligent Water Leak and Climate Monitoring Sensor
Control doesn’t stop here. With Aeotec’s intelligent automation controllers, devices such as the Water Sensor 8, smart plugs, and wireless wall switches work together to deliver greater control and a smarter, more responsive automation system.

Powering Your Water Sensor 8
To power up your Water Sensor 8 with the included CR14250 (½ AA) 3V battery, first press the tab to open the case and lift it off. Next, remove the plastic tab that blocks the battery connection. When powered on without a hub, the LED will blink red five times. Keep the case open, as you will need access to the tamper switch when connecting the sensor to your hub.

Leak Detection and More
The Water Sensor 8 is more than just a leak detector. This professional-grade sensor does more than just detect the presence of water—it can also monitor its absence. When used to track water levels in tanks, pits, or reservoirs, the Water Sensor 8 can alert you if levels drop too low and even trigger automation routines to take action.

Intelligent Water & Climate Sensor for Smart Homes
The Aeotec Water Sensor 8 detects hidden water leaks early, sending instant alerts to protect your home from costly damage. More than a leak detector, it monitors temperature and humidity, warns of potential mold, and integrates with third-party sensors for a connected smart home. With easy installation, tamper protection, a 5V USB-C port, and a flexible probe, it adapts to any space. Powered by Z-Wave, it ensures reliable communication, low energy use, and a responsive smart-home experience, keeping your home safe and comfortable.
