Before you buy
What do you need to make it work?
Zigbee hub
Aqara hub or bridge
An Aqara hub is mandatory, and Aqara states it plainly in three places including the printed quick start guide: 'Aqara Hub is required to enable Aqara Water Leak Sensor to work with HomeKit technology.' Hubs reported compatible include the M2, M1S, M1S Gen 2, E1, G2H, G2H Pro, Camera Hub G3, M3 and M100 — indicative rather than authoritative, since no first-party hub-by-hub compatibility matrix could be located and Aqara's own support page for this product renders 'No content yet'. Critically, the hub you choose determines which ecosystems you get: only a Matter-bridging hub (M2 on post-2023 firmware, M3, M100, G5 Pro) can republish this sensor into SmartThings, Google Home or Home Assistant. A Home Assistant user running their own Zigbee coordinator can skip the Aqara hub entirely, but that is a community path Aqara does not endorse.[2][3][9][32][34][35][40][41][42][43][63][68][70][72][81][85][89][92]

Aqara contradicts itself on its own product page. The prose description says the sensor is 'Compatible with the Aqara Hub, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa', but the structured 'Compatible with' badges immediately alongside list only Aqara, Apple Home, Alexa and IFTTT — Google is absent. Aqara's separate compatible-platforms page shows the products it calls compatible with Google Home, and this sensor is not among them, though it is among those shown for IFTTT. Recorded as partial rather than full precisely because the vendor will not commit on the page selling the product. Separately, Google Home has historically been weak at surfacing sensor state, so 'works' may mean it can trigger a routine rather than that you can ask about it.[5][16][32][35][40][41][47][70][74]

Works via account-linking the Aqara Home skill, and Alexa carries Aqara's own compatibility badge on the product page. Two limits: the sensor must be joined to an Aqara hub first, and because the link is cloud-to-cloud, an Alexa routine triggered by a leak depends on the internet being up.[16][32][40]

Home Assistant's Xiaomi Gateway (Aqara) integration reads this sensor through a "Xiaomi Mijia Gateway (lumi.gateway.v2, lumi.gateway.v3)". It lists the Aqara-branded "Xiaomi Aqara Gateway (lumi.gateway.aqhm01)" as unsupported, and says the v2 gateway's local API may be hard to switch on.
Home Assistant's own Xiaomi Gateway (Aqara) integration names this sensor, model SJCGQ11LM, and reports leaks from it over your home network. It reads the sensor through a Xiaomi Mijia gateway (lumi.gateway.v2 or v3), not through an Aqara hub: Home Assistant lists the Aqara-branded gateway as unsupported, and says switching on the v2 gateway's local access can be hard, even needing the gateway opened up. A community route also exists: Zigbee2MQTT supports this sensor on a generic Zigbee radio, with no Xiaomi or Aqara hub.[7][30][46][66][73][78][86][87][93]

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
Plans and ongoing costs[16][32][40]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Yes — you must create a vendor account to use it. (established from the vendor's own setup steps, where signing in is mandatory before the device can be added)[21][43][68][85][92]
No subscription, and leak alerts are not gated. Aqara's paid cloud tiers cover camera and doorbell video storage only and have no bearing on sensors. Recorded with the honesty caveat that this rests partly on absence: no Aqara statement creating a sensor subscription was found across every page researched, but neither was an explicit pledge that sensors stay free.
Maintenance and offline use[1][2][8]
- Batteries: CR2032 coin cell, included and user-replaceable via a coin-turn back cover — manufacturer-stated 24 months per set
- Works without the internet: Inconclusive — we read the vendor's own material and it does not answer this either way. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- The sensor has NO built-in buzzer — verified three ways in Aqara's own materials, and the single most consequential fact about it. The manual describes only 'an instant alert notification via app', the range-test procedure listens for the HUB making voice prompts, and the product page says the sensor 'will trigger the Hub to sound an alarm'. The audible alarm is wherever the hub is, not where the water is. The sensor-to-hub link is local Zigbee, so hub automations and the hub siren should survive an internet outage while push notifications will not — but note that Aqara's local-automation statement comes from the Hub M3 page, and no equivalent statement was found for older hubs (M1S, E1, G2H), so it should not be generalised across the hub line. Rated IPX5 in Aqara's US store description and IP67 on its product page; this page goes by IPX5, the lower rating. Aqara's global product page gives a 0.5 mm trigger threshold, and the US spec sheet says only 'Waterproof'. Community-sourced field caveats: Aqara Zigbee sensors are widely reported to re-route poorly through third-party Zigbee meshes after a dropout, and battery level can take up to 24 hours to first report under Zigbee2MQTT.
- Security updates: Aqara states its security-update commitment for this model as a period rather than a date: at least 2 years from the launch day (UK-declared — the maker's legal commitment is filed for the United Kingdom). That is a floor measured from a starting point the manufacturer sets — a launch or a purchase — rather than a fixed end date, so it cannot be placed on a calendar here. We record the commitment as the manufacturer states it, in our words, rather than converting it into a date it did not give. This is a published commitment, not a gap in our research.[15][29][37][48][71][75][80][83][84][90][91]
Where Aqara's own pages disagree
whether the sensor has a sounder of its own
- “Additionally, the built-in buzzer emits a loud alarm when water is detected, providing immediate onsite warnings.” Aqara's US store page, product description, read 2026-10-01
- “When the water level reaches up to 0.5mm, the Water Leak Sensor will trigger the Hub to sound an alarm and send a notification to your phone.” Aqara's US product page, alarm block, read 2026-10-01
On whether the sensor has a sounder of its own, this page shows no sounder on the sensor; the hub sounds the alarm. Aqara's US store description says this sensor has a built-in buzzer, while its product page and quick start guide say the hub sounds the alarm, so this page says the sensor itself is silent.
Who it's for
Households already inside the Aqara ecosystem with a hub in place, where this is among the cheapest ways to add leak coverage and the fourth and fifth sensor cost almost nothing. Apple Home households get the most thoroughly documented and longest-supported path. Home Assistant users can skip the Aqara hub: Home Assistant's own integration reads it through a Xiaomi Mijia gateway, and users running their own Zigbee radio get a cheap, well-supported Zigbee device. It is the wrong buy for someone purchasing a single leak sensor with no hub — the all-in cost is wrong and the alarm will not be where the water is — for anyone who needs a noise at the leak itself, for anyone shopping specifically for Matter-native hardware, and for SmartThings-first households, because neither Aqara nor Samsung names SmartThings for this sensor.

- [5] us.aqara.com/products/water-leak-sensor prose says 'Compatible with the Aqara Hub, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa' while the structured 'Compatible with' badges on the same page list only Aqara, Apple Home, Alexa and IFTTT. us.aqara.com/pages/explorecompatible-platforms does list Google Home with 'Hub may be required for certain ecosystems or functionalities'. Recorded as partial on that unresolved conflict rather than resolving it in the vendor's favour. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19Backs: Google Home compatibility
- [6] SmartThings is absent from this product's compatibility badges on Aqara's US store. us.aqara.com/products/hub-m3 carries a SmartThings badge, describes the hub as exposing 'existing Aqara Zigbee devices to Matter-compatible apps', and adds the caveat 'Features may vary depending on the Matter app'. No first-party document confirms this specific SKU appearing in SmartThings — it is inferred from hub-level documentation plus the Matter device-type list. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19Backs: SmartThings compatibilitypage changed on 2026-11-02, after this reading
- [7] zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/SJCGQ11LM.html documents this exact model as supported against a generic Zigbee coordinator with no Aqara hub, exposing water_leak, battery percentage, voltage, device temperature, power-outage count and trigger count, and notes battery 'can take up to 24 hours before reported'.

IMPORTANT SCOPE LIMIT: this statement is made for the Hub M3 only. No equivalent statement was found for the M1S, E1 or G2H, so local-automation behaviour on older hubs is recorded as unestablished rather than assumed from the M3. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19Backs: Batteries, Works without the internetpage changed on 2026-11-02, after this reading
- [9] Aqara's Valve Controller T1 pages describe a battery-powered actuator that clamps onto an existing lever or butterfly valve (DN15/20/25) without plumbing work, stating 'Pair it with water leak sensors for automatic shutdown when leaks are detected'; aqara.com/us/product/water-sensor/ separately documents 'Automatically Turns the Water Off When Used with Solenoid Water Valve', and the sensor's probes can be unscrewed and wired to extension cables. The valve controller is a separate purchase and itself requires an Aqara hub, so automatic shutoff is a sensor-plus-valve-plus-hub system, not a $19 fix. ⊕ Upgraded 2026-07-31: this entry previously ended 'The Valve Controller pages were reached via search snippets rather than direct fetch.' Those pages have since been read at first hand and the Valve Controller T1 is now its own record (aqara-valve-controller-t1, $69.99, VC-X01E) — every claim above is confirmed at first-party source, and the caveat is retired rather than left standing after it stopped being true., verified 2026-07-19Backs: Required hub or bridgepage changed on 2026-10-27, after this reading

- [11] aqara.com/en/product/water-leak-sensor-t1/ documents a genuine successor on Zigbee 3.0 with OTA firmware updates, same 50×50×15 mm form factor and CR2032. Aqara's US direct store does not list it — us.aqara.com/products/water-leak-sensor-t1 has no page for it — while Best Buy sells it in the US (SKU 6568826, roughly $17.99–$20.99). UNRESOLVED: no vendor statement establishes whether the T1 supersedes SJCGQ11LM in the US or the two are sold in parallel, so supersededBy is deliberately left empty rather than guessed. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19
- [12] Aqara's own materials disagree in several places: Google appears in prose but not in the compatibility badges; IP67 is on the global product page but absent from the US spec sheet; and the T1 spec page prints an operating range of '0 °C ~ 55 °C (14 °F ~ 131 °F)' where 0 °C is 32 °F, a straight conversion error.

- [14] Aqara's US store listing data for the Water Leak Sensor — we read stock and discount state from a store's own listing data rather than from the page as drawn — gave title 'Water Leak Sensor', available true, one variant 'Default Title', SKU DTC-US-SN-WLS, price 18.99, and no was-price at all on 2026-08-12. The visible page agreed at $18.99 with an add-to-cart flow. The missing was-price is the finding: the 2026-07-19 read saw a 10% discount, and there is none today, so the same $18.99 is now the undiscounted list price. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-12Backs: Price, Market availability

Retrieved and text-extracted locally on 2026-08-12. Names Product 'Water Leak Sensor', Brand 'Aqara', Model 'SJCGQ11LM', manufacturer Lumi United Technology Co., Ltd, declaring compliance with Schedule 2 of the UK PSTI Regulations 2023 and stating: 'we state that the defined support period for the product above is at least 2 years from the launch day.' Signed Lean Wang / Senior Certification Engineer; place and date of issue Shenzhen, China, April 9, 2024. The compliance index separately lists this model's PSTI statement as Active and an EU Data Act statement issued 2025-10-23. RECORDED BECAUSE THE STRONGEST AVAILABLE SOURCE CLASS STILL DID NOT PRODUCE A DATE: a per-product regulatory declaration outranks a general policy table, and this one is signed and model-specific — yet its period is anchored to 'launch day' for a product launched in 2018, so it cannot be turned into a forward date. The absence of a date here is a measured outcome, not an unsearched gap. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-12Backs: Security-update support period, Service status
- [16] us.aqara.com/products/water-leak-sensor on 2026-08-12 still carries exactly four 'Works with' badges — Aqara, Apple Home, Alexa, IFTTT — with Google absent, and still states 'An Aqara hub is required'. The vendor's self-contradiction recorded on 2026-07-19 therefore persists unchanged: Google appears in Aqara's prose and on its platform-overview page (us.aqara.com/pages/explorecompatible-platforms, which lists Google Home among compatible platforms under the caveat 'Hub may be required for certain ecosystems or functionalities') while being absent from the badges on the page that sells the product. That is why the Google cell stays partial rather than full — re-verified, not merely carried forward. On subscription: the product page shows no plan, no gated capability and no upsell of any kind, and the page's own feature list presents app alerts and hub-siren triggering as included. Recorded with the same honesty boundary as before — this rests on a vendor page that creates no subscription, not on an Aqara pledge that sensors stay free. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-12Backs: Apple Home compatibility, Amazon Alexa compatibility, Google Home compatibility, SubscriptionChecked 2026-10-01.

- [17] Re-verification sweep, 2026-08-12. Every axis this record carries was re-read against current sources rather than carried forward: price and availability from Aqara's own store listing data, the compatibility badges and hub requirement from the product page, the platform-overview page for the standing Google contradiction, and Aqara's compliance library for the security-support question — which produced the signed per-product PSTI declaration for SJCGQ11LM. Outcome: no integration level moved, no protocol moved, and the price figure is unchanged. What changed is why the price is that figure (the discount is gone, so $18.99 is now list), and the security-support axis went from empty to a sourced explanation of why no date exists. — Re-checked this against its sources, verified 2026-08-12Backs: Research status
- [18] Aqara Hub M3 product page, re-read 2026-08-18. ⚠ THE ONE CITED SOURCE THAT DOES SPEAK TO OUTAGES CANNOT SETTLE THIS RECORD, and the reason is on the axis: it states 'All the IR automations are local and will run even if there is no internet connection' and 'Local Cross-Hub Automation: Automations move from the cloud to local Edge, ensuring they work even when the internet is down. *Cloud push notifications still need an internet connection' — about the M3, a hub this sensor may or may not be paired with. This record's own hub note already records that no equivalent statement exists for the M1S, E1 or G2H. A value written here would be a claim about the buyer's hub choice rather than about the sensor, so it stays unknown. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-18page changed on 2026-11-02, after this reading

Where sources disagree
Where two sources we consider reliable say different things, we publish both positions and what we recorded, rather than quietly picking one.
Google Home compatibility
- Aqara US product page, prose section, and the Aqara compatible-platforms page (as of 2026-07-19): The product page prose says 'Compatible with the Aqara Hub, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa', and us.aqara.com/pages/explorecompatible-platforms lists Google Home with 'Hub may be required for certain ecosystems or functionalities'.
- Aqara US product page, structured 'Compatible with' badges on the same page (as of 2026-07-19): The structured compatibility badges list only Aqara, Apple Home, Alexa and IFTTT -- Google is absent.
We publish: partial
Aqara contradicts itself on its own page, so neither statement can be treated as more authoritative than the other. We published "partial" because it is the only answer both sources support: Aqara's platforms page does describe a Google route, while the compatibility badges on the page selling the product leave Google out.
Compatibility and lifecycle information reflects the last-verified date above and can change without notice (firmware updates, cloud-service changes, discontinuations). It is provided as-is, for information — verify with the manufacturer before purchasing. Spot an error? Tell us and we'll fix it. Full terms: Terms of Service.
