Wi-Fi water sensor works with Google Assistant
The DCH-S161 Wi-Fi water sensor, says the company, is one of the first to work with Google Assistant. An updated version of the company’s DCH-S160, the sensor runs off of batteries and provides voice control compatibility to help alert people about leaks in their home.
“Water damage is one of the most expensive insurance claims for homeowners, but they can also be the easiest to detect early,” says Rayan Fakhro, senior product line manager at D-Link Systems, Inc. “With this updated model, people can place the sensor where they need it, receive updates on their phone or check for leaks using their voice, and help keep a small problem from becoming a disaster.”
The sensor is located at the end of a nearly six-foot long cable, and will send a notification through the company’s mydlink app to a user’s phone any time it detects a leak. Once paired with Google Assistant-compatible devices, users can ask Google to check for leaks in specific rooms and locations around their home.
The sensor will also be able to send voice alerts through a Google Hub to proactively alert owners when it detects a leak. Along with the app notifications and soon-to-come voice alerts, the sensor includes a 90-dB siren and an LED that notify owners of leaks – even if there’s no Wi-Fi signal.
The DCH-S161 Wi-Fi water sensor is available now for $49.99.
