How does a water sensor work?  

The water sensor has two pieces of metal that conduct electricity when water leakage occurs. After the water is detected, the sensor notifies you through your smartphone. 

How to detect water leakage using a sensor?  

The water sensor has two pieces of metal that conduct electricity when they are closed. When leakage happens, these two pieces of metal close, and therefore electricity is conducted. After the detection, the sensor automatically sends a notification to your phone. 

How do I program a water sensor to close gates?  

To do that, you have to select the water sensor and then the smart valve closer. Download the application and make conditions like <if there is a signal from the water leakage then give a command to the valve to close the gate> 

What is a gas sensor?  

A gas sensor is a sensor used to detect different kinds of gases and then alert you by sending a notification to your phone. You can also integrate it with a blower through a smart plug to allow the blower to automatically get rid of harmful gases once the gas sensor detects them.  

Does a carbon monoxide detector detect natural gas?  

No, it’s not. The CO detector only detects carbon monoxide and then sends you a notification to alert you. This detector is essential as the CO gas is dangerous and can lead to death.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a smell or a color. So it’s impossible to be detected without a specialized sensor.

How to test the gas detector?  

To detect gas leakage, place your sensor near the cooker and open the gas knob; the gas detector should send you a notification via your phone, and a siren should pop up. 

What is the gas detector’s range?  

The range of a gas detector depends on the pressure of the leaked gas. Each gas sensor detects gases based on its own characteristics. Some gas detectors can detect gas cylinder leakage. While others can detect neutral gas leakage. Both types of these gases have different pressures. 

How can I make my smart home safe?  

In order to make your smart home safe, you have to add the following products to it: 

Water Leakage Sensor: This sensor detects any water leakage in your home and then sends you a notification, which reduces the risk of floods. The water sensor has two pieces of metal that conduct electricity when they are closed. When leakage happens, these two pieces of metal close, and therefore electricity is conducted. Get the Water Leakage NOW
