2026 verdict
Against IP67 versus IP66 weather resistance, 1.5 years versus 2 years of battery life, only the Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor still looks like the complete water leak sensor.
It also lands IP67 weather resistance, wider smart-home integrations, and the more affordable option. The radios differ too: Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor uses Sub-1G (Smart Wi-Fi Hub required), and GoveeLife Water Leak Detector 2 uses Gateway (included) required. GoveeLife Water Leak Detector 2 keeps 2 years of battery life, an on-device alert light, and the stronger owner reviews, so it remains the pick when that priority beats IP67 weather resistance. Choose the Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor for IP67 weather resistance; keep the GoveeLife Water Leak Detector 2 only when 2 years of battery life is the whole brief.
