Easily connect to the Zwave network with Vera.

Added online in minutes with the Vera app. Countertop test leak detected twice and notification sent within seconds. Reports temperature. Set additional low temperature and battery alerts on the Vera website. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • So far, so good

Stay away - this is garbage.

This is one of the worst Z-Wave devices I've come across. Difficult to set up, loses connection every few hours even at close range, advertised as Z-Wave Plus but works like the previous version. It could be a hardware problem. Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • No automatic setup

I couldn't get the smartthings hub to turn on as a flood sensor

I couldn't get the Samsung smartthings hub to turn on as a flood sensor. I turned the device off and on several times. Each time it turned on as a motion sensor and did nothing. I don't recommend this sensor for smartthings, maybe it will work with other hubs.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Good overall, but...

Not so good: Household sensors and alarms

Got this for vera plus. I have the version without zwave and it works and shows battery status and temperature status but noticed that it sends false alerts so I said I will avoid Fortezz water sensors in the future. Well I've seen the zwave plus version and the zwave plus is better as the batteries last much longer and faster and report I finally bought it. The version of Fortezz zwave plus that I bought directly from Vera does not currently work at all with my vera plus. I'll call tech…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Repair
