Wyze unveils water leak and climate sensors for its Home Monitoring system

Users of Wyze’s Home Monitoring kit are about to get a couple of new optional accessories: a leak sensor that can detect moisture under sinks, dishwashers, and other leak-prone areas, and a temperature- and humidity-tracking climate sensor.

Measuring 1.9 x 1.9 x 0.9 inches (WxDXH), the Wyze Sense Leak Sensor has a 500-foot range, while its coin-size CR2450 battery should provide up to 18 months of battery life.

While both the Sense Leak Sensor and the Sense Climate Sensor require the Home Monitoring Kit, they’ll work without a subscription to Wyze’s $60-a-year professional monitoring service (a year’s worth of which comes free with the Home Monitoring package).
