I assume all responsibility for my actions, as this was something done out of curiosity to see what was all inside this little magic box to determine if there was anything that could physically be compromised with full submersion. I understand that I have voided any warranty or support of this devic…

Wow! That’s awesome to see. I am glad they used so much sealant everywhere! This makes me feel better about continuing to use at least the probes in a submersible way without huge fears of damage. Even if they do get damaged, it’s only $5. In the last pictures you can tell there is a tiny hole of m…

The sealant goes all the way to the case, the gap is one small section then covers the wires where they connect to the sensors. After playing a little more I did press down on the wire and it did create a gap at the wire entry point… BUT I am sure I comprised the integrity of the sealant with the h…

From what you saw, how likely is it for water to seep in through the metal contact points? Was there good sealant all around the metal contact points so water was unlikely to leak through there? I know it may be hard to know for sure since some of it may have been compromised with using the heat gun…

Its pretty well sealed. I think the cable will be the primary point of penetration.

Decided to peel the onion back a little further and remove the sensors from the case [IMG951407] [IMG951409] Interesting to find what I thought was a glob of sealant was really a knot in the cable [IMG951408] I accidentally cut through the cable but what I found was the cable insulation does no…

Thanks for all the detail views! :slightly_smiling_face:

So, touching a wire to the leak probe will close the circuit and cause a leak detection, but if you remove the the probe and touch a wire to the connectors on the side of the main sensor it doesn’t work/detect. At first I thought this meant maybe the probe had some kind of chip in it, but these pic…

Not sure if this is what you ment but had both the sensor on the probe the body trigger independently with different message.

In full transparency I tried twisting the connectors back to the probe connector line and I could not get the probe to detect a leak… The leak detector identifies that there is a probe, just not the introduction of water. I feel like I want to start over again without accidentally cutting the wire. …

Yes, its the magnet in the probe that activates the leak sensor’s knowledge of the probe. I put one of the wyze v2 contact sensor’s magnet next to the leak sensor and the app notified me and showed the leak probe icon as there was one connected. [image]

this leak probe not seal well, it will keep water in the case that makes the sensor body false alarm for leaking, I hope the sensor body does not have the same issue.
