I'm not handy. Like at all. So I was hesitant because I figured even if it caught a leak, I'd be staring at a wet cabinet not knowing what to do. But knowing about the drip under my bathroom vanity 5 minutes after it started vs 5 months after meant my repair guy charged me $80 instead of thousands. Worth it for the head start alone.

Had Govee sensors for two years. They were fine until I went to check the app one day and one of them just wasn't there anymore. Battery had died at some point and it never told me. That was the moment I realized I'd been "protected" by a dead sensor for who knows how long. Switched to these specifically for the low battery alerts. Different league.

I am 64 years old and I do not consider myself good with technology. My grandson set up the first one for me and after that I did the other five myself with the app. If I can do it anyone can.

Camp off-grid most weekends, no wifi at any of the spots we go. The thing that finally got me to buy was reading that the alarm works locally even without a signal. Tested it before our trip up north and the alarm is genuinely loud, can hear it from outside the rig. That alone was the sell.

The thing nobody tells you when you buy a water detector is where to actually put them. LeakAlert placement guide actually helped. We followed it exactly to the T. One eventually went off in the wet bay 3 weeks later. I wouldn't have put one there on my own because I'm new to the Rv life.
