Decided to have a go with that Yolink stuff Timmmay suggested. Here's hoping (it never sends anything except a test message...)

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” -John Kenneth Galbraith

Ours has activated once, there was an occasional leak from the laundry tub. I have leak sensors under all the sinks and tubs.

aqara water leak sensor. Cheap, small, works with zigbee and ConBee II directly under Home Assistant

I simply connected a rain sensor surface to the water detector pins of a second device. Now it also immediately reports the onset of downpours so that the laundry can be saved outside (if you are quick). 😆
