Notification only for Water Sensor (no audible alert)
I think it would be a good idea to offer the ability to disable the siren alarm for water sensors and have only a text/call alert. It would be nice to have the option so anyone with kids or guests in the home don't get woken up in the middle of the night by a blaring siren due to a small sink drip or something similar.

Hi @rajohnson005 ,
As Emily said, thank you for submitting the idea.
I did also want to clarify for others who may happen upon this thread. When the Water Sensor is triggered, does generate an audible alert. However, it's more of a gentle dinging sound, followed by the voice saying, "water sensor triggered". It is not a full siren, like you would hear from an intruder (Entry, Motion, or Glassbreak) alarm.
Still, a similar request has been made for the Temperature Sensor, so it makes sense to have one for the Water Sensor as well!

Yes, Please allow control over these sensors like we have for intruder devices. I just want a simple text message on a water alert, not beeping, escalating beeps, automated calls, etc. This is not a big ask since the capability and UI already exists for the other sensors.
