The Govee "app" then gives you a notification on your mobile device ("smart phone") of the condition from a specific sensor. You can choose to pay for monitoring by the company, but I didn't.
When I installed it, the instructions weren't the easiest to follow, but I got it done. I'm not a tech professional, but I've had a good deal of experience with figuring-out consumer electronics. It took me about 30 minutes to install 3 sensors. You can get and connect more sensors, if desired.
I haven't had any leaks, but I did test it with a puddle, and it worked as promised. There's probably other similar competitive systems out there, but I picked this one because it was relatively cheap (<$50).
Good luck!

Ken the problem with those you have to guess where a leak may occur, not possible
A better system is a water flow alarm that will shut the whole house down if it detects a flow rate that is not normal I see them for about $400
