It has four different alarm methods to ensure users are promptly alerted, including a sound alarm, app notifications, email alerts and voice alerts. Users can also control the Water Leak Detector remotely, allowing them to monitor water leaks from anywhere with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. 

The SwitchBot Water Leak Detector features an IP67 waterproof rating and can even be reused after drying if fully submerged. It's powered by two AAA batteries and will send an alert when the battery is low.
