Today I found out that the Ambient Weather WH31LA Leak Detector has been released by Ambient Weather. I found this out via an email I got 13 June 2020 called "Ambient Weather June 2020 Newsletter".

 It will only be available to WS-2000 and WS-5000. Although in my opinion, not really weather related (there were a few discussions about this), I think it's a cool addition for those who will use it. I will consider getting 1 to try out. You can add up to 4 leak detectors. I think it's neat how the weather stations are getting more and more features that can be added to them. All sorts of things, which increases the range of things they can help with. Probably it won't be a super popular Ambient product, but never the less a product.

The product description reads:

"Note: You must update your weather station console firmware to the following versions:

- Console Firmware Version 1.6.3 or greater [Latest update as at 13 June 2020]

- Wi-Fi Firmware Version 4.2.4 or greater [12 June 2020 Update, so latest update as at 13 June 2020]

To upgrade the firmware, visit the Help Guide...
Add up to four leak detectors to your Ambient Weather WS-2000 and WS-5000 weather stations.

The leak detector can be placed on the floor and detect moisture. There are two sensitivity settings. The WS-2000 and WS-5000 supports up to 4 leak detectors.

When a leak is detected, a loud 90 db alarm sounds, and the leak detection is sent to the console and the cloud for instant email, text or IFTTT alerting.
