In September of last year I bought an Aqara Water Leak Sensor off Amazon. I placed it between my washing machine and hot water heater in the garage and connected it to Home Assistant via ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) integration and my Zigbee Coordinator. I then added it to a dashboard that shows me information about the garage and the status of my washer and drier. Finally, I tested that the sensor worked as advertised and that the proper state showed in Home Assistant. Everything checked out… yay for being proactive!
I opened up the Home Assistant app on my phone and pulled up the sensor. It had, indeed, worked as designed and clearly showed that the leak started at about 11:30pm the night before… it was currently about 7:30am.
