Product Overview

Introduction

Product Name

Zigbee Water Leak Sensor

Product Model

SNZB-05P

Zigbee Water Leak Sensor is a low-power Zigbee 3.0 protocol-based water leak sensor that detects real-time water leakage in the environment. It allows for work with other devices through scene linkage settings. For instance, placing the sensor in areas like the basement, kitchen, or attic, it will trigger a Gateway sound alarm and send an App notification when water leakage is detected.

Highlights

  • Leak & Drip Detection
    The elevated probe design detects liquid levels as low as 0.5mm and works reliably on metal surfaces without false triggers. Its concave water collection design quickly senses drips and stops leaks at the source.
  • Extended Detection Capability
    Supports connection with water leak detection cables (sold separately or as part of sensor kits). Whether covering a wide area or a narrow spot, water leaks are detected accurately. Extension cables can be connected in series without length limitation.
  • Real-time Alerts & Multiple Notifications
    Instant app push notifications alert you immediately upon water detection. Zigbee local scenes can trigger gateway alarms even during WiFi outages.
  • Zigbee 3.0 Compatible
    Compatible with Zigbee 3.0 hubs such as SONOFF NSPanel Pro, SONOFF iHost, ZB Bridge variants (ZB Bridge, ZB Bridge-P, ZB Bridge-U), and SmartThings Hub V3.
  • Home Assistant Support
    Easily integrates with Home Assistant via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT (requires Zigbee dongle like SONOFF ZBDongle-P or ZBDongle-E) for seamless home automation.

Applications

  • Bathtub overflow detection
  • Water heater leak detection
  • Basement leakage detection, etc.

Add Device

eWeLink Platform

Download the eWeLink App & Add SONOFF Zigbee Gateway.

Open eWeLink to scan the QR code on the Quick Guide or the device itself to add the device.

Enter "scan QR code" mode.

Scan the QR code on the device.

Select "Add Device".

Long press the button for 5 seconds.

The LED indicator flashes slowly for 180s.

Wait until the addition is done.

Compatible Third-party Platform

If you're using a third-party Zigbee gateway, please refer to the corresponding app for detailed instructions on how to add the device.

Installation

Plan A: One device paired with one water leak detection cable.

Plan B: One device paired with multiple water leak detection cables.

Effective Communication Distance Verification

Install the device in the desired place, then press the Pairing button on the device. The LED indicator flashes twice means the device and the device under the same Zigbee network (the router device or hub) are in the effective communication distance.

FAQ

  1. When the sensor is used with a water immersion cable, how long can the water immersion cables be connected in series?
    There is no limit on the length.
  2. Can the water immersion cable be reused?
    After the water immersion cable is soaked, it can be reused after being completely dried.
  3. What is the recommended humidity environment for the water immersion cable?
    The recommended humidity environment for the A4 water immersion cable is 0~80%RH (without condensation). A very high humidity environment may cause it to be mistaken for the presence of water.
  4. Can a common Type-C extension cable be used to extend between two water-immersion cables?
    Yes, but please note that do not use a soaked Type-C extension cable to charge mobile devices.

Troubleshooting

  1. The Zigbee signal is unstable and the device frequently goes offline?
    If your device often goes offline, it could be due to the long distance between the device and the gateway, or obstacles/interference blocking the signal. Try adjusting the placement of your device and gateway, or use additional Zigbee router devices to strengthen your Zigbee network coverage.
  2. Missing features after pairing with the eWeLink app?
    Please ensure both your Zigbee gateway and the eWeLink app are updated to the latest version. If the device was added using an outdated gateway firmware, remove the device, update the Zigbee gateway, and then re-add the device.

Application Explore

SNZB-05P 1:1 Scale Replica Model

This is a 1:1 scale replica model of the SONOFF SNZB-05P water leak sensor. The model fully reproduces the actual size and outer contours of the sensor, allowing you to precisely measure whether the device fits your intended installation location.

 

You can 3D print the model to test clearances or spatial compatibility before purchasing the real device. It is especially useful for verifying placements under appliances, in cabinets, or near piping where space may be tight.
