Aqara Water Leak Sensor
Zigbee2MQTT / ZHALocal control
- Zigbee
Verified July 2026
The default leak sensor for Home Assistant households: IP67, two-year battery and instant wet/dry reporting under sinks, washing machines and combi boilers. Pairs directly with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA (model SJCGQ11LM) so you can skip the Aqara hub entirely.
In Home Assistant
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Water leak | Binary sensor | Wet/dry state |
| Trigger count | Sensor | Number of times a leak has been triggered — useful for spotting repeat splashes vs one-off |
| Battery | Sensor (%) | Battery level |
Zigbee2MQTT/ZHA expose a water-leak binary sensor plus battery, voltage, device-temperature and trigger-count sensors — the trigger count is the useful one, letting you distinguish a single splash from repeated re-triggering rather than trusting the boolean alone. Pairing needs a 5-second hold on the reset button under the water-drop logo; if it doesn't join, Zigbee2MQTT's own docs recommend a quick double-press straight after to force re-announcement.
