YoLink hub and 4 water sensors (Long Grove)
Worked for a few years but recently the hub stopped working on my network. It powers up fine but loses connectivity regularly and I’m not sure if it’s my network config or if the hub is wonky. But I don’t want to mess with it anymore. I’m certain the four water sensors work so worst case you can just get a new hub and connect them. Porch pickup only, Long Grove.
