A €3 Zigbee leak sensor under an appliance is not clever automation. It just waits quietly for the one event I really don't want to discover by stepping into it.
The important maintenance is boring: test it with a damp cloth, check the alert path, and replace tired batteries before the sensor becomes decoration. #Zigbee2MQTT #HomeAssistant #smarthome

I just installed a couple water leak sensors and connected to #HomeAssistant trough #Zigbee2MQTT which recognizes it as a SNZB-05P
They work - but every day I see a short connectivity drop. Does anyone know if some timeout or something can be adjusted to suppress this message?
I like ZigBee for Home-Automation 🙂
Hardware from many different manufacturers, all compatible with each other.
- Philips
- Ikea
- Sonoff
- Xiaomi
No proprietary bridges, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. Just some free and open source software (Zigbee2MQTT / Home Assistant) and a tiny USB dongle (ConBee II) as a network coordinator.
All meshing nicely and every grid-powered device effectively extends my network's range by relaying datagrams.
