D-Link DCH-S160 – mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor with Leak Detection Cable, 70 dB Alarm, Push Notifications & WPS Setup
Overview:
• The D-Link DCH-S160 is a mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor designed to help detect water leaks before they develop into serious flooding problems.
• It includes a specially designed water detection cable that can detect water along its full length.
• When water is detected, the sensor triggers a 70 dB alarm and warning LED to provide both audible and visual alerts.
• The device sends instant push notifications through the mydlink Home app, allowing users to stay informed even when they are away from home.
• The DCH-S160 supports Wi-Fi connectivity, WPA/WPA2 security, and WPS setup for easy connection to the wireless network.
• The probe range can be extended using an RJ-11 phone extension cable, making it suitable for different home and office leak detection locations.
Key Features:
• Water Leak Detection: Detects water leaks using a dedicated water sensor probe cable.
• Full-Length Detection Cable: The supplied cable detects water along its entire length.
• 70 dB Built-in Alarm: Provides an audible warning when water is detected.
