Product details
This water leakage sensor keeps track of water leaks by beeping when it comes into contact with water – helping you make life at home smoother, more comfortable and safer.
When connected to a hub, the sensor sends a notification to your smartphone with information about the water leak.

Not For Serious Leak RiskBruceThe Klippbok is a very inexpensive leak sensor, and it sort of shows it. Sensor detection only on the bottom, not the top, make it questionable for some applications. I have several of Ikea’s new Matter sensors connected to Home Assistant. This one is by far the flakiest, going offline frequently, requiring me to pull and reinstall the batteries. Probably better in a Dirigera based application, but if it is Matter enabled it should work seamlessly with other Matter applications. Obviously a water leak sensor that frequently goes offline is not ideal. So I moved it to a place under a sink where leaks are unlikely.
Works great.KevanInstant audible alarm on water sensing. Easy setup to HomeKit. Everything worked fine. I got a couple for different locations in the house.
Works, fails to update firmwareJonasWorking as expected to detect moisture with Home Assistant. Except Home Assistant fails to update the firmware to latest version
Worked with Alexa Show, but not DIRIGERA hubMichaelDid not work with the DIRIGERA hub that I bought; but luckily it did work with my Alexa Show and the setup was pretty easy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ KLIPPBOK Water Leak Sensor — Surprisingly Solid in a Heavy Smart Home SetupEdgarThe KLIPPBOK leak sensor has been a surprisingly smooth addition to my smart home, even with 150+ devices already running. Setup was quick, Matter pairing was clean, and it joined the network without any conflicts or dropouts. For such a small, inexpensive device, it delivers fast, reliable alerts and the audible beep is strong enough to notice even in a busy space. Its simple, battery‑powered design makes placement easy—just set it under a sink, behind a dishwasher, or near a water heater and forget it. Despite the low price, it performs like a premium sensor and has stayed stable in a dense environment where many devices struggle. A solid, no‑nonsense leak detector that just works when you need it.
Unavailable Requires Battery RemovalPhilipI have 16 devices and about 1-2 weeks a device becomes unavailable. When this happens the only way to recover is to remove the batteries and reinstall them. Overall i am happy with these devices, the installation and setup is easy and I have them integrated to Home Assistant via a thread router and matter integrations. I would give them a 4 star if I didn't have this issue and 5 star if they were more water resistant.
Nice Smart Home AdditionMichaelPicked up the Klippbok to test out in an area where we can get some slight water leakage during a hard directional rain. It can be used with Apple Home but only indicates a "yea/nay" whether or not it detects water. Nice inexpensive option for a water sensor so far.
Bought Three and All Three Working FineRichardI just recently had to clean up from a small flood due to a leaky sink drain. My fortrezz sensor didn't work. I bought three of these to go under sink, near washing machine and near water heater. I tested all three of them in a dish of water, not only did I receive instant alerts through Apple Homekit, you also heard an audible alarm that there is water. I would trust these over anything I previously had as even if the internet is down or your smart home isn't working you will hear the alarm.
Unable to connectTylerSpent an hour trying to get this to pair. I have the IKEA hub and an Eero system. It sees the leak sensor, configures the device, then on the last step times out and fails to connect to the network. Unusable.
Great water sensor for the price.EdgarSetting up the KLIPPBOK wasn’t as smooth as I expected at first. The sensor kept failing to connect due to an issue with my border router, which made the initial pairing more frustrating than it should’ve been. Once I tracked down the network problem and got the border router sorted out, everything fell into place.
Since then, the KLIPPBOK has been great — reliable, responsive, and exactly what I needed for peace of mind. Now that it’s up and running, I’m really happy with how well it works.
Not fit for purpose PhilipDoesn’t detect drips and you actually don’t want water dripping on it anyway because it will penetrate the speaker grill and ruin the device. Sensors are oddly placed on the bottom only with no way to wire extensions easily so it will have to sit in a puddle to trigger. I can’t see these surviving more than one leak because the battery compartment is on the bottom and isn’t water tight. Adding to HomeKit either directly or by sharing the Matter code via the IKEA Home app results in constant flapping of connection showing frequent “no response” messages. Apple Home detected a firmware update available but the IKEA app shows up to date. Due to poor connectivity it won’t ever pull down the update via Apple Home.
