Water sensor cable extension Elgato 2 m for Eve Water Sensor (model 10EBL8701)

The Elgato 2 m water sensor cable extension for Eve Water Sensor is a 2‑meter extension lead designed to increase the reach of the Eve Water Sensor while preserving electrical connection and signal reliability. It allows placement of the sensing probe or contact end at a greater distance from the main sensor housing so that water detection can be performed in remote or low-lying locations such as under sinks, behind appliances, or in basements. The extension is intended for use with compatible Eve Water Sensor and HomeKit setups and keeps installation straightforward.

Advantages

The cable extension provides a practical way to move the sensing element without relocating the entire sensor unit. Its length gives flexibility for installing the probe in hard-to-reach or obstructed areas while the main unit remains accessible for battery changes and wireless communication. The design maintains the required electrical connection and is made to work with existing Eve Water Sensor configurations, ensuring continued compatibility with HomeKit scenes and notifications.

Suitable for

• Extending the Eve Water Sensor probe to under-sink spaces and cabinetry
• Placing the probe behind or beneath appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers
• Monitoring basements, cellars, or other low-lying areas prone to leaks
• Situations where the main unit must remain accessible while the probe is positioned remotely

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Connector type: compatible with Eve Water Sensor probe connection
• Purpose: extends sensing probe distance while maintaining power and signal
• Intended environment: indoor use, near potential leak sources
• Compatibility: designed for use with Eve Water Sensor and HomeKit-compatible setups

How to use

Connect the extension cable to the Eve Water Sensor according to the sensor’s connector orientation until it seats securely. Route the cable to the desired detection point and position the probe or contact end where water accumulation is likely to occur. Ensure the main sensor unit remains accessible for battery replacement and wireless range is maintained. After installation, verify connectivity and test the sensor function within your HomeKit environment to confirm notifications and automations are operating correctly.

Recommendations

Install the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress; keep it clear of standing water and direct contact with heated surfaces. Use the extension indoors only and check connections periodically. Test the Eve Water Sensor after installation to confirm proper operation within your HomeKit setup.
