I use this, wired to this, plugged into a Wyze Plug. Leak sensors trigger Plug on and the whole neighborhood will know you have a leak.

I just hooked up your solution, and a beautiful solution it is!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very nice.
I feel like this is my first wishlist entry that has been deployed. I will have to look but feeling the🕺right now😁

Thanks @carverofchoice I tested, and confirmed that it worked. Nice, loud tone from the base, and instant call/text from noonlight.
Only issues I’m seeing is that there’s no way to cancel the alarm without speaking with noonlight, and the monitoring certificate does not indicate freeze/leak monitoring yet, even after requesting a new one.
They were very polite, but if this thing is going off at 2am, it would be nice to not have to interact with a human to shut it off haha.

Thanks for confirming!
I totally agree that we should have a way to make it stop just like we can stop the intruder alert sound by disarming. Great suggestions. Maybe we need a new wishlist for that update.

Just to clarify, did you also send an email to Noonlight with a screenshot of all your monitored apps and request a new certificate like it tells us to do? It says it will take them some time to review everything before they send the updated Monitoring certificate…we won’t get the updates from the Wyze app, they have to email the updates to us from Noonlight to get those extra options.
I just tested this and it does allow us to cancel the alarm without speaking with Noonlight. I even had my system in Test Mode. What happens is it pops up a link at the top of the monitoring tab, and then you click the button that says “Cancel Hazard Remediation” and the alarm stops within a couple of seconds.
It worked for me at least and it is really cool to confirm that it works in Test mode too!

I definitely totally missed that message in the app, I have sent the email now. Thanks!

Aha! I figured there had to be a way, I wasn’t seeing that, but I’m not sure I opened that monitoring page while the alarm was going off, and the notification that I clicked did not take me there. I’ll toss it into test mode and test again tomorrow, but this should prove useful.

How can I connect my leak sensors to Alexa?
I do not see my Wyze leak sensors listed under Alexa devices.
I see my Wyze motion sensors but no Wyze leak sensors??? ???
I have Alexa in several rooms in the house while I only have one Wyze monitor which can only be heard in part of the house…
With the leak sensor devices in Alexa, we can trigger other stuff as well.
Since it seems Alexa doesn’t natively support leak sensors, I’m thinking we can do a workaround by creating a virtual switch using a webhook.
For example, @SlabSlayer taught me that I could create virtual switches for nearly anything using Alexa by leveraging this free tool:
He had me create a new Trigger there, and then I use a program like Macrodroid (or others will work like Tasker, etc), to watch my phone notifications…then if any notification says the special word(s) like “Leak” from the Wyze app, then we can have it push a change of state to that virtual switch using the webhook URL…and then Alexa will see that trigger and we can have it then do any action we want.
Doing this, we can add leak sensors into Alexa.
However, that specific option will only work with Android. iOS doesn’t like to allow customizability stuff like that. So for the iOS users, maybe we can do the same thing with IFTTT or Home Assistant, or Hubitat or maybe something else that allows for webhooks or triggered URLs somehow. I don’t know iOS well enough to make such suggestions, but I know for sure that a workaround for this should be doable in Android after SlabSlayer taught me how to do it that way.

Thanks for the tag @carverofchoice!
Another possibility: Use a Wyze Plug.
You don’t have to have anything plugged into it although in my application I do.
Create a Wyze Rule: When XYZ Leak Sensor Detects Leak, Turn On XYZ Plug (or on for Z Minutes).
Create an Alexa Routine: When XYZ Plug turns on, do this list of tasks I command.
You can also have the plug turned off when the sensor clears and have Alexa respond to the XYZ Plug Off.
I have my XYZ Plug powering an internal Siren in the house so I am alerted if a leak is detected. That plug activating then triggers another Wyze Routine that turns all my Wyze Bulbs on to yellow and uploads a video from one of my cams. An Alexa Routine is triggered by the XYZ Wyze Plug turning on to turn on all the other non-Wyze lights, also to yellow, and to announce at level 5 on all my devices and my phone “LEAK DETECTED” about a dozen times and send me an Alexa Push Notification. But, I have found that Alexa Push Notifications are less than reliable. So, when that specific cam I mentioned uploads a video (Cam Plus Required), I get a push notification from Wyze of a “Smart Alert”. I also get a push notification from the sensor. Either of these push notifications received on my phone, or the Alexa notification, triggers MacroDroid to blow up my phone in EPIC fashion that will not go unnoticed.

I am an iOS user, and I simply have my leak detectors sound the siren on an indoor V3 using Rules. That siren automatically stops after 30 seconds, so if the leak continues I have the siren repeat again in 5 minutes.

I do this as well, though I have 2 V3’s on each floor go off so that it can be heard through the whole house well enough, and make sure that there is redundancy.
Having it work with Alexa too would just be preferable for me in general.

we do not use cams inside our house. I could just use them just for the siren though as not expensive.
As I have iPhones and iPads, I like the idea of seeing if we can get Alexa to add the capability. I will investigate this further. If you know the Wyze folks can you see if they have to do anything as well?
Thanks,

I did a little homework on Alexa site.
so it looks like they already have a contact sensor capability along with a motion sensor capability. Now to see who can set it up. It seems like a Wyze thing to do?
I would think that @WyzeDave would be interested in this. It seems fairly stratght forward and they have the Wyze Motion Sensor v2 code as the base for it.
It does seem that the Leak Sensors would be an easy adaptation to the Contact Sensor API which is already in place within Wyze Skill since it is essentially a normally open circuit that triggers on closed. But, since the contact sensor is a normally closed circuit that triggers on open, that may be why it hasn’t yet been adapted.
The Climate Sensor, on the other hand, is a completely different animal since it has significantly more data points being communicated rather than a simple opened\closed circuit like the contact sensor or doorbell press, or the motion\no motion of the motion sensors.
