DIY Single-level single-function water sensor

A simple floating magnet and contactor($3.14) module connected via a two-wire 0.5mm cable to Sonoff DW2-RF (open version only).

In DW2-RF, the contactor is desoldered… soldered wires, each wire in a separate thermoplastic sleeve with glue, the whole in an additional thermoplastic sleeve with glue.
In DW2-RF, a hole is cut for the cable.

The whole thing works on the principle that when the water level drops below a certain point, the sensor is opened and the DW2-RF sends a signal… the rest is based on scenes.

I use this to turn off the water pump so that it does not run dry.

When using this sensor, you get water animation and it also supports scene creation when the device is offline.
