[C320-list] water sensor alarm

[Scott Westwood]

FWIW.  I am looking into getting this Honeywell water sensor and this step down transformer.  If anybody has another option, I am all ears.
The sensor only needs wifi. (Looking into if there is a cost for the Honeywell Lyric appfor my Android??)
And the step down transformer is to wire/fuse the sensor to the house bank 12V and not rely on AA batteries.
Again... All I am looking for is a water sensor that will notify me.  Not a full boat monitoring system (Especially without a monthly fee).
Water Monitor: RCHW3610WF1001/N  Made by Honeywell (About $60)(Optional "Rope" sensor Honeywell RCHWES4/U RCHWES4 Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector Rope Sensor)  About $25

Step down Transformer: DROK 090581 DC-DC Buck Converter 12V/24V to 5V 5A/25W Step-down Voltage Transformer Volt Regulator Power Supply Inverter Module  (About $14)

Total cost about $100 ish  Minus any wire and fuse.
Let you all know if/when it works.





Thanks,

I have a FloatHub intended mainly to monitor the bilge pump. I wish I could say it is installed but I have tested parts of it so far and put most of the wiring in place.  It says it will monitor batteries, bilge pumps andchargin at leasts.  It also records gps position. It connects by WiFi (we only plan to use at our marina) and updates a web page.  An attraction for me is that the basic service is free although alarms notification might cost more.  It also provides an 0183 connection to a WiFi access point on board.  It will go live next week....
