Review on 💦 Fibaro FGBHFS-101 Flood Sensor - Homekit Enabled Water Leakage Detector, White with Temperature Monitoring by Mark Lowery

Revainrating 1 out of 5

HomeKit connection is not reliable

This is a great device that should be great but ends up being a waste of time. It's * cosmetically nice, * a bit stubborn to add (need to be on 2.4 WiFi and be patient. A few tries needed), * responsive support. BUT it keeps losing WiFi and HomeKit connection (*which it doesn't tell you, so you just have to be lucky and see it by accident). We planned it to be right outside the door to our garage (about 15 feet from the router) so we would know if heavy rains would bring water into the garage. When the connection kept dropping, we emailed support - they were very nice and helpful, explaining that a firmware update was in the works and "the problem is known". but couldn't give a timeline for the new firmware or suggest a workaround. So, nice device, great idea, great support, but NO SERIES, so back to Revain. Maybe if they get the device working it will be great. rats.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some flaws
