We do not recommend using the water leak detector as a rain sensor.
SwitchBot water leak detector can be used outdoors and detect from a 0.5 mm water level. However, if raindrops fall on the two metal sensors separately as shown in the image below, the alarm will not sound.
As shown in the image below, an alarm will sound if a raindrop connects the two metal sensors.
The sensor requires a certain volume of raindrops to detect rainfall. As a result, the water leak detector may not promptly detect light rain when used as a rainfall sensor. Therefore, using it as such is not recommended.
