I too can see the water leak detector being very useful. I have a soft water device on my house and I have had to swap out the boiler three times in 10 years. I have heard these soft water conditioners are bad for the cast iron in boilers. Anyway, one detector by the boiler for me!

Exactly guys!
In my case, i would need the EUFY SMART WATER (LEAK) DETECTOR for this:
I have an old heating cellar, which is about 1 meter lower then the regular basement rooms. And this heating cellar gets flooded by backwater 1-3 times a year, when we have extremely strong rain in a short timeperiod. Then we have this case:
So i bought a ver strong and good dirty water pump, which can not only help to get the water out of the basement, it will also help to safe the heating system and other electronic equipment if i just start early enough to pump out the water. As faster and earlier, as less the water will climb in the basement.
Therefore, i would need a wateproof and silent water detector !
- Waterproof, because it will be defenitely under water for some time
- Silent means: Option to only be alarmed/notified by the app (instead of the detector making alarm only or too)
- And if it would be an eufy water detector, i could use it in the eufy cosmos and also in the already used eufy security app and just add it like a door sensor or eufy security cam.
As far as i have seen now, there is nothing on the market which fits my needs in this case. Sure, there are tons of watere leak detectors availabe already. But either they are not waterproof or the sensor/detector always alarms too (what i dont want).
So it would be a realy useful, very fast to develop and kind of cheap security āwidgetā in the eufy security cosmos and could be easily implemented in the already available app.

thats the good ol Leak Frog, beeps really loud when water is detected. I have one under each sink, washing machine and water heater. They used to be on WOOT all the time before amazon bought WOOT and ruined it. I think they are called water bugs now and look like ladybugs. Not āsmartā devices but you hear it when it goes off if youāre home or if you come home.
Oh ok, but thats exactly what i DONāT want 
I want and need a smart one where i have the option that it ONLY alarms me by app/notification! The sensor/detector itself should be silent. And 100% waterproof.
But thanks for your explanation 
Therer already is a handful of water detectors on the market that integrate with smart homes and systems to alert users via an app and or sound an alarm. Why try to reinvent the wheel soley to have Eufy make one?
Here is one thatās waterproof

Sure, if i would search long enough, i probably would find one which fits all my needs. But i would appreciate to have one in my eufy cosmos ! Where already my security cams and door sensors are involved and where an additional eufy product would be much more comfortable than using another companies water detector, which also needs another hub and so on. Should be self-explanatorily.
I want ONE app and ONE cosmos, and not several apps and several different smart home products from several different companies.
You should think that over.
eufy cam, eufy door sensors, eufy robovacs and so on ā¦ are all products which are already available from tons of companies and also do not reinvent the wheel new
And donāt forget:
Beside the fact that eufy asks us what we would like see NEXT as NEW product in the eufy cosmos and i just answered the question for my needs, āCompetition stimulates businessā !
Guess what your smartphone or TV would cost, if there would be only SAMSUNG or (even more worse) APPLE selling those! ā¦ You couldnāt earn enough money in TWO LIFES to buy an iPhone then 
Hearing aids!
When some of us will reach the VIP-Status, they will need!
But with USB-C please , as we will have trembling hands and not being able to see well. So USB-C is a need!

I literally didnāt search at all, I just typed in waterproof smart water sensor and that popped up first. And your right, necessity is the mother of all inventions and we should push companies to always keep on keeping on and pushing for new things.
I can see where @yamyam is going with this. An Anker branded waterproof smart water sensor with an app and wireless capabilities would just be perfect! It will be branded by Anker (a company we trust) and you know the tech will be quality! So Iām on board for a kickstarter project on this one!

Correct! But not only this. Anker (eufy) could bring a smart water leak detector/sensor which not only fits in the eufy cosmos and available app, they could also use the Anker power and technology to make the sensor some kind of āno batteries required!ā.
The most water leak sensors/detectors needs batteries and will last for about 6 months, before they need to be changed. I donāt know if there are already bettery pack powered sensors available at the market, but anker/eufy could be the first maybe So the sensor would last maybe for several years (before they need to be recharged) and donāt needs to be battery changed every 6 months!
Beside the fact that this will be much more environmentally and resource friendly!!!
Of course, it will be more complicated to make that thing 100% waterproof, but the smartphone builders also get their mobilephone connections waterproof, so i guess the engineers from eufy/anker can do that to 
ā¦ So IP 67 or even IP 68 should be possible.

Yes, water detector would be nice. With the possibility to link it - and so it is a part of āsmart homeā . In the smart home market, there will be more products for eufy waiting ā¦

Itās a good idea, but at the moment we donāt have product engineers in this field.
Oh, you little tease!! Iām super interested in what itās gonna beā¦ 
Too bad 
Seems like i have to spend all my money for some contractors water leak detectors
But you have to agree with me, this product would just perfectly fit into the eufy security and smart home cosmos! Right?
I can think of a game
- Atom 2 smaller GaN version will happen in 2019
- 2020
- 2021

What I need is nothing new and nothing special, but it would really help to have a few black Powerline II USB to Lightning cables and black Powerline II USB to Micro cables both in 2 feet.
@ankeroffical since 2 feet cables are not standard would it ever be a chance of doing a limited amount of length? The Powerline II style is important because of the 12,000 bends.
I too am looking at getting both cables but in 6FT. 2FT is really not industry standard. Not unless you cut and splice the cable yourself.
