The D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor is a unique Smart device that helps detect water leaks as well as flooding in your home. The device itself operates by using a cable with long, twisting leads implanted in it. For illustration purposes, you would run the cable along the outside of your basement floor and, if water makes contact with the cable, an alarm will go off letting you know that there has been a detected leak/flood. If you live in an area where flooding is a semi-common occurrence, this would be a great option at a reasonable price! For a full review, visit this link.
