Fibaro Has First Flood Sensor Available in Apple HomeKit

Postby Jacob Black » 16 Dec 2016 15:02

Fibaro is bringing the first flood and leak sensing device to Apple's HomeKit ecosystem, along with two other HomeKit-enabled devices: a motion sensor and door/window sensor. Fibaro's HomeKit line boasts an intiutive and contemporary design. All three devices offer are designed to subtly blend in to home décor and be placed around the home to monitor changes in their surroundings. The sensors run on wireless Bluetooth LE (low energy, so as not to drain the battery) and can be controlled remotely via the new Fibaro app or the Apple Home app, available in iOS 10.

Fibaro Flood Sensor

The Fibaro Flood Sensor is the first water and leak detection device in the Apple HomeKit ecosystem. The Flood Sensor is equipped with gold telescopic probes that detect water as soon as it appears. Fibaro says the device works on even and uneven surfaces. An LED indicator an an acoustic alarm signal alerts homeowners of flooding, and also of any tampering with the device. It can trigger a smart home scene and notify a user of a problem through the Fibaro app or Apple’s Home app. Homeowners can also use the Fibaro Flood Sensor as a temperature sensor. If the sensor is placed in the garage or basement in cold weather months, users can ask Siri to check the temperature where the sensor is placed and stay ahead of burst pipes, drafts or other problems.

Fibaro Motion Sensor

The Motion Sensor is a CES Innovations honoree. It's really a multi-sensor, measuring movement, ambient temperature and light intensity. Battery-powered and communicating via Bluetooth, the device looks like an eye, with an LED indicator changing colors to signal motion, temperature level, light or tampering. The Motion Sensor is equipped with tamper protection through a built-in accelerometer. Any unauthorized attempt to relocate or change the sensor's view angle should trigger an alarm.

The sensor's holder allows users to place it anywhere in the home, even affixed to a wall, ceiling or other surface.
