Product description Reviews (03)

FIBARO Flood Sensor is a universal, Z-Wave compatible, flood and temperature sensor. Device can be battery or VDC powered. Flood alarm is sent to the Z-Wave network devices or additionally to any alarm system controller, through opening a NC contact.

The device has built in temperature sensor, monitoring temperature of e.g. floor. Flood Sensor is designed to be placed on the floor or on a wall with a flood sensor probe extended by connected wire. The device has built in visual LED indicator and acoustic alarm. LED diode signals flood, operating mode or the Z-Wave network communication range.

In addition, the sensor is equipped with a tilt sensor reporting tilt or movement to the main controller e.g. when someone has taken the Sensor from its original location.

FIBARO Flood Sensor is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation of water.

My experience with the Fibaro products has been nothing but exceptional, and during my testing which included 5 other motion/multi sensors the Fibaro stood on top as the clear winner.

As far as setup and general easy getting the Fibaro connected to my z-wave network, the instructions in the manual proved to be extremely accurate and helpful. There was no issue getting it linked up and it showed up in my home automation hub (home assistant) without issue.

The Fibaro looks different and has a unique design - it is a sphere. It is small and lightweight. It has an LED eye that lights up (if you desire) to indicate something has passed through its detection field. But most importantly, it works! I have it connected to my SmartThings system and it integrates well with the other things. I use it principally for motion detection - to turn on a light in the kitchen when someone walks in. However, I also use it for Lux so that I'm not turning on lights when it is already bright enough in the house. I know it can also detect movement (even earthquakes), but I don't have a use case for that feature right now. Overall- it is a great device and for me, was worth the extra money.

Love the Fibaro Motion Sensor. I installed it to activate some strip lights that I installed on the steps inside my bedroom. The goal is to have the steps light up at night as a safety feature to prevent tripping on the steps. It paired easily with my Smartthings controller. Almost all of the settings were supported via the app on my phone. The one thing I had to go into the API to tweak was the interval at which motion was checked. I need almost immediate detection of motion so that the steps light up as you approach, not 10-15 seconds later. As a result I changed the motion sensor wake interval from the default (15 seconds) to 2 seconds. To conserve the battery I changed a setting to ensure that the motion sensor only wakes when the room is dark. Works perfectly!
