6 Ways to Use Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors

Home security isn’t just about keeping intruders out—it’s also about safeguarding your home from internal threats like water leaks, humidity damage, and temperature fluctuations. That’s where Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors come in. These compact, easy-to-install devices detect leaks, extreme temperature changes, and high humidity levels, ensuring your home stays protected from costly damages.

With real-time alerts sent directly to your phone via the Kangaroo app, you can take immediate action to prevent disasters. Here are six key ways to use Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors effectively:

1. Detect Water Leaks Before They Cause Costly Damage

Water damage can lead to expensive repairs, mold growth, and structural issues. Kangaroo’s sensors detect leaks with as little as 1MM of water, sending instant alerts to your phone. Place them near sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, and water heaters to catch leaks early and prevent flooding.

Pro Tip: Position sensors in basements, laundry rooms, and bathrooms—common high-risk areas for leaks.

"Best purchase from Kangaroo yet! I put one in my basement and would have never known that my sewer was backing up without it alerting me." - Samantha, Walmart

2. Maintain Optimal Humidity for Indoor Plants

If you’re a plant parent, you know how vital humidity levels are for plant health. Too much dryness can lead to wilting, while excess moisture can cause root rot. With Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors, you can monitor humidity levels and make adjustments as needed to keep your indoor garden thriving.

Pro Tip: Use the sensor to track humidity fluctuations during seasonal changes to protect delicate plants.

3. Prevent Overheating of Electronics and Appliances

Overheated electronics pose a fire hazard and can shorten the lifespan of your devices. By placing a sensor in areas with multiple gadgets—such as entertainment centers or home offices—you can monitor temperature levels and prevent overheating.

Pro Tip: Set custom temperature alerts in the Kangaroo app to receive notifications when heat levels rise too high.

4. Protect Valuable Artwork and Antiques

Excess humidity can damage artwork, antiques, and other valuables over time. Museums and galleries use climate control to protect their collections, and now you can do the same at home. Place sensors in areas where you store framed photos, paintings, and vintage furniture to maintain proper environmental conditions.

Pro Tip: Keep humidity levels between 40-50% to prevent warping, fading, and mold growth on valuable items.

5. Get Alerts for Smoke and Fire Hazards

Beyond water detection, Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors can help detect rapid temperature changes—often a sign of fire. If a fire breaks out while you’re asleep or away, your sensor will send an alert so you can act fast.

Pro Tip: Place a sensor near your kitchen or in high-risk areas to complement your existing smoke and CO detectors.

"This is a must-have! I keep it in my basement and I have a second one I purchased for a rental property. It's nice to have this extra level of protection." - Shaila, Walmart

6. Prevent Mold Growth in High-Humidity Areas

Mold thrives in damp, poorly ventilated spaces, causing structural damage and health issues. Basements, kitchens, and laundry rooms are particularly vulnerable. Kangaroo Water + Climate Sensors help you monitor humidity levels and take proactive measures before mold becomes a problem.

Pro Tip: Keep humidity below 60% to reduce the risk of mold and mildew formation.

"Love this, this is so convenient to take on all trips. Absolutely everyone needs this for all trips and their own home." - Samilia, Walmart
