Anyone use one of these? Just ordered one. I assume it's a rebranded tuya as per the description.

I use this on that looks just the same.

I works as expected with the "Generic Zigbee Moisture Sensor" driver

I have been working with what looks to be the same sensor. Based on the research I did, it identifies as:

model: TS0207
manufacturer: _TYZB01_sqmd19i1

I've seen it under the names Tuya, Blitzwolf, Konke, CR Smart Home. I want to make sure it stays connected, so I have been working on a driver. It's still a work in process. Tuya Blitzwolf ZigBee Leak Detector

I'm testing the same one (sold as the Ewelink brand) on ST using the built in drivers. Works fine so far. Battery life isn't as long as I would like, but they're just using a CR2032.

I ordered them from Ewelink Zigbee Smart Home Water Leak Sensor Wireless Flooding Detector Water Leakage Detection Alert Water Level Overflow Alarm|Sensor & Detector| - AliExpress. ~$16 US/each.

Another favourite zigbee leak sensor with HE is the linkind mentioned here. Linkind water leak detector $15 Love the two AAA batteries.

I agree, I just got a low battery notification this morning after only a few months. This is under the basth so a pain to replace, I think i‘ll go back to a smarthings sensor for this location it would be worth the extra cost.

A couple of things to consider. Sometimes the batteries that are included - if any are - might be old. Also, just because something reports low battery doesn’t mean it might not last for quite some time.
