1. There is no opening for the wire. I had to drill one in the top of the case.
2. It doesn't sense water if the battery is inserted.
Once I got past these, works fine and I get a notification on my smart things app when it detects water.

I used this for the DC power: 12V Power Adapter for Yamaha PA130 PA150, UL Listed Power Supply AC Adapter. Just snip the barrel end off. And yes this is probably overkill, but I wanted something UL listed.
Overall: great product.
Note: I purchased this to use with a Hubitat C5/C7 z-wave hub. Good: built in driver for the sensor. Bad: Driver is half broke and Hubitat knows this. In 8 months there has been zero effort to fix this. Buyer beware. Problem: The device works on EITHER battery OR DC. But not both. According to Hubitat - they didn't bother finishing the driver. More information: surf the Hubitat forums. DO NOT BUY THIS EXPECTING THAT HUBUTAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE NEAR FUTURE! OR EVER! OR that your pestering them will have any effect.
If you're looking for something for Hubitat and only want battery OR DC or you just want the external sensor capability, there are problably better (cheaper) options.
I used to be a home automation consultant for 10 years and am a computer engineer myself. I would not recommend this product even if it was the only product of its kind in the market, I would rather rely on my non-smart, high loud siren $20 Honeywell system that is incredibly dependable.
Top reviews from other countries
I tried putting in a fresh battery and resetting the unit so that it reported 100% battery, then plugged into AC and removed the battery. An hour later I started getting 4% battery warnings again. I guess I'll have to live with these warnings every few days until hopefully one day they'll release a firmware update.
This sensor is connected to a 1st generation SmartThings Hub. Other hubs may work handle this issue differently.
