1. A method, performed in an accessory device, for determining a leakage state of an ostomy appliance comprising a base plate configured to be placed on a skin surface of a user, the base plate comprising a plurality of electrodes, wherein the accessory device comprises a wireless interface configured to communicate with a monitor device of an ostomy system comprising the ostomy appliance, the method comprising:
obtaining monitor data, from the monitor device, that is indicative of presence of fluid at one or more sensing zones of the base plate at a proximal side of a first adhesive layer of the base plate towards the skin surface, the monitor data relating to:
a primary sensing zone of the base plate, comprising at least a first leakage electrode and a second leakage electrode of the plurality of electrodes; and
a secondary sensing zone of the base plate, comprising at least a third leakage electrode and a fourth leakage electrode of the plurality of electrodes;
determining the leakage state of the base plate based on the monitor data for the primary and secondary sensing zones of the base plate; and
displaying a representation of the leakage state of the base plate via a user interface of the accessory device, wherein the representation of the leakage state comprises an indication of the one or more sensing zones that are associated with the presence of fluid.
