      Only if they aren’t connected to the Internet. Otherwise they offer the same vulnerabilities as other IOT devices including security cameras. Over the years basically every home security system i’ve sold at my department store job has shown up in the news leaking data, or getting hacked.

      And it’s not the water sensor thats important. It’s the users personal information that they need to give to the service to use the water sensor.
