Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Everything is easy to setup using myfavorite apple tv and homekit app. Seems to work fine with homekit but, uses low power bluetooth so distance might be an issue. The fibaro app isn't great but it doesn't bother me since i never open it.

It floats, it's water tight, and the sensors work as advertised. The temp gauge works fine. Sensor seems very sensitive.

It's that easy and everyone in your home app (added users or family) all get the urgent alert. Alerts and home app push notifications are instant. Push notification is fine, but overseas, some ios push notifications do not work.

Cons

The fibaro flood sense works sporadically while at home and does not work at all while being away! No connection - > no alert -> this sensor is useless. Even the app is awful.

I will go with grohe (it is famouse brand in europe, where i am from) bought and returned within a day. But the lid is not. Sending it straight back.

If you have a traditional tanktype water heater these have a typical 10year life span and then fail in the worst way imaginable

Our hot water heater had the temperature and pressure valve break and water was running onto the floor and then into a drain

Price

Its more than awesome and for 50 you cannot go wrong

Now i know how much i had to pay for fixing floor

Plus we got a discount on our homeowners insurance because of this automation

This fibaro sensor is a bit overpriced for what it is but the price has come down a bit since it was first released

Shipping

If they had waited 4 days until they were there next it could have been a disaster

I had a frozen pipe situation recently and i wanted to buy a water sensor for underneath my sink but i wanted to make sure it c... Read More
