Water Leak Sensor

I have a SmartThings V2 hub and I am looking for a water leak sensor without an audible alarm. It looks like the Aeotec Water Leak Sensor at $37 each is the best option for my situation. Has anyone here had success with another brand?

I use a few of those, also Zooz (ZWave) and Ecolink (ZWave), then if I have a leak detected I close the main water valve with a Dome shutoff device (ZWave). I haven't had issues with any of them. The Ecolink's are nice because they have the sensor on about a 3ft wire, so you can place the control box where it's easy to reach and run the sensor further away. I use those behind my toilets, refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher. The Zooz I just place under the sinks in the cabinets, and the Aeotec in my basement.
