Fibaro floats above the rest (pictures)

The Fibaro Flood Sensor is modeled after a drop of water on a flat surface.

The SmartThings app is one of the apps Fibaro works with, and it shows the Sensor's status and the room's temperature.

Unlike other sensors on the market, like the pictured SmartThings and Aeon Labs ones (top left and bottom left respectively), the Fibaro features three telescopic probes -- only two of which must touch water to send an alert.

The interior LED light glows faintly when you activate the Fibaro, and also blinks different colors when it senses water. The Fibaro also emits an alarm when alerted.

The SmartThings app provides a running list of device updates, and the latency between Fibaro and app alerts is very small.

Terminals on the inside of the Fibaro's plastic body allow you to connect external power sources, alarms and security cameras to the Flood Sensor.

Here, two wires are attached to the terminals that will act as another set of probes, to be positioned by the user as needed.

The SmartThings app can send you push notifications, texts, and emails if the Flood Sensor detects water.

The plastic top of the Fibaro Flood Sensor easily screws off to reveal a simple interface inside.
