In this Instructable I'm going to show you how to build quickly a water leak alarm system uusing the Mediatek LinkIt ONE board. You can use this device to detect if any water leaks out from the pipes. If detects water will sends you an e-mail.

This project can be build in 10 minutes... So what's to lose?
