Yeah, I bought this a few weeks ago from Costco at 59.97. Was hesitant about the price....but works great, uses 2 double A batteries (comes with 4 for the 2 sets in this). Pairs well with the app, does weekly checks to make sure it's still working on it's own. Not a fan of D-Link products...or battery powered...but this def. makes me feel better when I'm doing laundry and hear the washing machine release the water lol. I installed mine near the laundry sink.
That's a pretty huge flaw if you ask me. The whole point is for it to let you know only when there's a leak so you have peace of mind. Having to check the app once in a while does not put me at ease cuz what if I forget?
You can connect it to google home and have it announce water detection.
On the Google speaker? How did you get that working?canoepaddles wrote: ↑ You can connect it to google home and have it announce water detection.
The battery that came with it died in less than a month but once I replaced it its been going on 4 months now and its sitting at 70%. It does go into power saving mode however so that must be helping with it.
In the google home app select the sensor and there will be a toggle to allow voice alerts.RaphaelK2005 wrote: ↑ On the Google speaker? How did you get that working?

But don't see the voice notification option available for my DCH-S161 (at 2:47 min)
Device firmware was already updated to 1.07.01 and Google Home iOS is up to date.
May I ask what is your firmware version?
