Xiaomi has officially launched the Water Guard 2, its latest smart leak detection device, in China. The product is now available on major online platforms for 69 yuan ($10) and is designed to detect water leakage in various household scenarios.
Xiaomi Water Guard 2 Specifications
The Water Guard 2 features a compact circular design with a diameter of 55mm and a thickness of 19.5mm. Xiaomi uses a dual-color injection molding process for the outer shell and button, resulting in a seamless look. The device is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, allowing it to operate reliably in damp and dusty environments.
Xiaomi equips the device with two types of water detection systems. The bottom dual-probe sensor can detect as little as 0.5mm of standing water, while the top sensor can detect dripping or splashing. This dual-sensor approach ensures effective leak detection in both floor-level and elevated areas, such as under sinks or near washing machines.
The device features three types of alerts for leak detection. It includes a built-in buzzer and LED indicator that provide local sound and light notifications, which work even when the device is offline. Through the Mi Home app, users can receive remote alerts, monitor real-time water status, adjust alert frequency, and check battery levels.
When paired with a Xiaomi Bluetooth Mesh gateway, it can also interact with other smart devices within the Xiaomi HyperOS ecosystem. For instance, it can automatically turn off a connected smart socket when a leak is detected to reduce electrical risks.
The Water Guard 2 runs on Bluetooth 5.2 and requires a CR2450 coin cell battery. Xiaomi claims up to three years of battery life thanks to its ultra-low power design. The device uses nickel-plated corrosion-resistant probes and anti-UV materials to reduce the risk of rust or yellowing over time.
In related news, Xiaomi recently introduced a premium-looking sterilizer that promises thorough cleaning and is priced under $150. The company also launched a smart foot spa capable of heating, massaging, sterilizing, and folding itself for convenient storage.
