- One thing you probably don't think about until happens is a water leak! If only you could catch things as it happens. We are checking out the stock firmware on the flood sensors with built-in MQTT.

Thanks Travis. Looks like a fairly decent sensor.
Great video! Super anxious to see the Tuya flood sensor video.
You and me both!
NICE! Hope you get that Tuya working and flashed (specially if the price is right). Got a couple of A/C air handler units I want to keep an eye on as well the typical under sink use. Stay safe!
Love the Shelly sensors - I love that I can set them up to use MQTT with my smart home platform but still have notifications enabled in Shelly Cloud
Yes that was a very cool surprise! I was thinking at first that would kill all the notifications. Best of both worlds!
thank you very much indeed I was waiting like this video a long time ago
Most welcome 😊
thank you very much
I opted to build my own using ESP8266-01's, button cell, and a trigger board. Works great. These are pricey.
Totally get that myself. But I required an cloud and local control notification from the unit itself and this fit the bill fortunately. I'm thinking the new Telegram feature in Tasmota might fit this too though.
@@digiblurDIY true. If you need both, that's the way. Not knocking it, just we needed like 10-12 of these and it adds up.
One must weigh the flood cost vs flood sensor cost.
Is there any chances you tas the flood sensor based on tuya.. my country don't sell shelly but there are tuya based sensor instead..
Thanks. Will wait for the review of the Tuya one. We’re you able to OTA it ? I have a bunch of $5 AliExpress RF leak sensors that go though sonoff rf bridge.
I haven't OTA'd it just yet but I am pretty sure you can with some trickery. I do want to back it up first via serial.
Hi Digiblur,
in your video you mentioned another video about a tuya flood sensor with tasmota- where can I find this?
I haven't been able to get to it yet due to changes in work items, it's on the list though.
I set this up last year with MQTT and all good.
My rpi died and I'm starting over, I noticed this time that HA automatically detected the flood sensor and that's how I added it. I immediately got all entities (Sensor, battery and temperature) but I noticed that after a while the device is unavailable. Do you know if it will report back to HA on regular basis? I remembered that with MQTT it did.
I did a test and at least on the dashboard I do not see it went to the "wet" state and while it was beeping HA noticed it was reachable but marked it as dry.
Suggestions?
I'm not sure, I haven't played with the new Shelly integration yet myself as these are the only Shelly devices I have stock firmware on.
Have three of this sensors for about half a year now. I test them once in a while. They always work. Anyway, I have NOT set them up within HA or else but instead use the shelly cloud with this. I do not trust MQTT or other stuff for something really important like this. Notification from Shelly App is instant.
Thanks for the input. I left mine on the cloud too for notifications and did the MQTT notification as well. I will probably do some voice notifications on Google Home.
Hi
Have you managed to find time to do video re flashing tuya water sensor as yet?
Mine wouldn't flash a few times I tried, I believe I need to lift the RX TX pins from the secondary MCU as it isn't letting the communications from the TTL adapter go through to the ESP chip.
I might replace batteries with ac 3v adapter to see if that helps
Is it still the case where if you use want to update a shelly firmware OTA it needs to be connected to their cloud and hence your device is logged by them?
I do remember seeing a link where you can download firmwares via a link to their devices but I don't have it.
@@digiblurDIY I couldn't find a manual process for the updates :(
If you were going to purchase would you get Shelly or Sonoff devices?
Depends on the device.
does sonoff still make you use an online cloud account even though pairing with HASSIO like say etekcity or Ring devices do?
Yes unless you apply open source firmware
Any 2023 update perhaps? searching "water leak" on your channel only really comes up with this one
Do you have zigbee?
@@digiblurDIY I have an open system. I haven't got zigbee or zwave set up yet.
I hope that was old-stock news footage from Katrina or some other disaster ...
I put a footnote on the clip. Video I took of my area during the August 2016 floods. Just a rib...
Wont a DIY be better maybe? battery, wemo and 2 wires?
If I was going to DIY, I'd probably roll with a USB powered though but for the price of me knowing my flood sensors always work I'll roll with premade. It goes against the grain a little bit but I wouldn't make a DIY smoke detector either.
First
Did you just reveal your wifi password DrZzs?
No. All throw away SSIDs that I use on videos and live streams.
I will say, their APP is a steaming pile of CRAP!
Looks nice but the functionality isn't so great.
Made in China? If so, no bloody thanks.
Product is assembled in Bulgaria. Units come from European Union.
