Hi everybody, I run a basic Ubiquiti network w/ Lutron lights, Nest for security and cameras. I'd like to add water sensors because I'm paranoid about water damage. I see a lot of people have been using Aqara and just purchased the Aqara M2 hub and a few water sensors. Any tips/tricks on keeping them running or are there alternatives to Aqara other people recommend? Thanks.

I just installed a bunch (3) Aqara water sensors and an M2 hub for HA integration. These things are great. But having realized how many places I'd like instant water damage notice...has anybody purchased a dozen or more of these guys or had any issues?

Slash posted:Not the water sensors, but i have about 20 of the Aqara door/window sensors, and 4 temperature sensors around the house with no issues. Thank you, that’s reassuring. I think I’m gonna need something like that many water sensors for my own paranoia. (4 bed/bath and sinks and other water sources)

I've got a bunch of outdoor Google Nests (don't hate me, it was the easiest solution at the time) in rather difficult to access areas. Is there any reasonable way aside from getting up there and physically resetting the Nests in order to migrate them to a new wifi? loving google

So I think an option would be to just turn off the old wifi (at least temporarily) to force them all into setup mode. Thank you, looks like I'm getting a taller ladder to figure this out this weekend.

Aside from Simplisafe, is there any other home security that has live support integration? My significant other enjoyed the Brinks connection with our Nest Secure but that's going away pretty soon so I'd like to get a replacement if possible. Don't want to sign up directly with Brinks/ADT because of past experiences but was wondering if there was any mainstream option available.

Since nest secure is sunsetting just around the corner I'd like to see if there's an alternatives to the systems I've been looking at. The significant other likes the idea of professional monitoring and would also prefer to keep HomeKit compatibility since they're in the Apple ecosystem. We've got a series of google nest cameras and don't want to replace them at this time so just looking for motion detectors/someone to call us/send services if there's an issue. Looks like all there is for those two specific requirements is Abode/Ecobee/Simplisafe/Ring. I'm leaning towards Abode DIY instead of Ring/Simplisafe given reviews online and pricing, is there anything else I should be considering?
