2026 verdict
A silent puck versus an on-device alarm, 5 years versus 1.5 years of battery life explains the badge: the Sonoff Zigbee Water Leak Sensor is the stronger water leak sensor here.
It also lands 5 years of battery life, richer alert options, and wider smart-home integrations. The radios differ too: Sonoff Zigbee Water Leak Sensor has no extra long-range radio, and Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor uses Sub-1G (Smart Wi-Fi Hub required). Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor keeps an on-device alarm, so it remains the pick when that priority beats 5 years of battery life. Choose the Sonoff Zigbee Water Leak Sensor for 5 years of battery life; keep the Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor only when an on-device alarm is the whole brief.
