[C320-list] water sensor alarm

[John Frost]

Your question got me Googling. I just ordered one for $19.99 from Walmart to try out. It is by "Vivitar" and does not require a Hub
Home Depot has it also

FWIW.  I have seen some that require (come with) a cellular solution.  They usually are  about $10/mth and it can text you with alarms and/or status.  Those "systems" typically have multiple types of sensors available.  There are several on the market.  Just search boat alarms.
Others can chime in on those solutions.  I am looking for a stand alone water sensor that can use my existing house wifi.
Good Luck




Thanks,

 Bruce,

I've been thinking of doing this to provide peace of mind while away from the boat, but haven't figured out the best way to do with without an available wifi connection. Do you use the marina wifi if you are in a marina or set up a hotspot? If a hotspot, how did you set it up? Do you need to keep a cellphone on board for this?

Thanks,

Hi Scott,
Not what you want but I have a Samsung Smarthome hub on the boat and have many sensors throughout.  Also have some remote switches so that if I'm staying on the boat and it is cold I can preheat it before I get there.
Best,
Bruce

Asking here first.  Looking for a water sensor alarm I can place in the bilge above the bilge pump sensor. "Want" it to be wifi based.  NOT part of a whole home "system".  Needs to notify my Android.
Our boat is at our private dock that can reach our wifi.  I have heard of some that use wifi that will notify you with an app.  Anybody have/use one they like?




Thanks,
