Guys,
I put together several of the DS10A's with the Hobby board leaf sensors as leak detectors. These worked well when I installed them. Test time rolled around so today I dripped water on the sensors today and 3 of them aren't working. So I'm after something more reliable. I'm a software guy so electronics are foreign to me. Would one of these GRI Water sensors work connected to a DS10A (Door and Window sensor). What's confusing me is these mentioned 5 Volts. Does this mean the device needs 5 volts to detect water?
