Monsoon Watch
Your first monsoon in a new home, watched.
A leave-behind kit of humidity and leak sensors, with WhatsApp alerts that name the room and a re-scan when the rains are over. Rented by the season, returned after.
What's in the kit
Seven units, placed by the inspector, no drilling.
- 4 wall sensors
- Humidity and temperature, on the walls of most concern from your report
- 2 leak sensors
- Under the kitchen sink and behind the washing machine
- 1 gateway
- 4G SIM and battery backup, so it works without your Wi-Fi and through power cuts. Backup duration is stated once tested.
Alerts on WhatsApp
Three things trigger a message.
- 1A leak sensor detects water.
- 2A wall sensor's humidity rises well above its own baseline after rain.
- 3The gateway goes offline. Sensors buffer readings and upload on reconnect; a missed check-in raises an alert after a set time.

About Monsoon Watch
Does it need my Wi-Fi?
No. The gateway has its own 4G SIM and a battery backup, so it keeps working through power cuts. The backup duration is stated once our tests are done.
Will you drill holes?
No. The inspector places the sensors with removable adhesive.
What happens at the end of the season?
We collect the kit, do the post-monsoon re-scan, and refund the deposit after checking the kit, under the rental terms.
Does it measure moisture inside the wall?
No. Wall sensors read humidity and temperature at the surface and alert when a wall's humidity rises well above its own baseline after rain. Leak sensors detect water on the floor.
Possession before June? Book the kit with your inspection.
The inspector places the sensors on the walls that matter most from your report.
