Protect Your Home

The DCH-S161 Wi-Fi Water Sensor is a wireless sensor that helps keep your home safe. You can install the

probe anywhere and it will help you detect water leaks before it turns into serious ooding. If the water

sensor is triggered, a 90 dB alarm will sound and an LED will blink to give you audio and visual warnings.

Push notications to your mobile device let you keep tabs on your home on the go. You can also receive

audio alerts from your Google Assistant so that you can know about a water leak even if you are too far

away to hear the alarm on the water sensor.

Easy to Set Up

The DCH-S161 can be set up easily via the free mydlinkTM app4. Simply download and install the app

on your mobile device and follow the step-by-step instructions to quickly congure the sensor. The

DCH-S161 connects to your existing Wi-Fi router, no hub required. In addition, you can congure policies

to trigger other connected home devices whenever the DCH-S161 detects water.

Specially Designed Detection Cable

The water detection sensor supplied with the DCH-S161 is designed specically to detect water on

contact. When water is detected, the sensor will trigger both an alarm siren and an alarm LED so you can

both hear and see the warning. The sensor is at the end of a 1.8 m (5.9 ft) cable, allowing you to place the

sensor anywhere that’s convenient.

Access Anywhere Using the Mobile App

When water is detected the mydlinkTM app sends push notications to your mobile device no matter

where you are. With instant notications, you can rest assured that you are always immediately aware of

any problems so you can act fast.
