HomeKit technology
Apple HomeKit technology provides an easy, secure way to control
HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
touch.
After installing your FIBARO Flood Sensor, congure it from a
compatible app with just a few simple steps.
You can even create your own custom scenes to control your home
settings. For example, you can create a scene to automatically turn
o the lights, lock your doors, close the garage door, and set the
thermostat to the desired temperature in just one step.
To control this HomeKit-enabled accessory, iOS 9.3.5 or later is
recommended.
Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory automatically and
away from home requires an Apple TV with tvOS 9.2 or later or
an iPad with iOS 9.3 or later set up as a home hub.

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
Main features of FIBARO Flood Sensor:
• compatible with Apple HomeKit technology
• Bluetooth® low energy technology for wireless communication
• detects ooding
• detects tampering using accelerometer or when the casing is opened
• easy installation - simply put on a surface prone to ooding
• may be installed anywhere - sensor can be extended using
an external probe (not included)
• battery powered
• indicates state using LED diode and buzzer
FIBARO Flood Sensor is a HomeKit-enabled water sensor using
Bluetooth® low energy technology.
Along with detecting ooding, the accessory measures the ambient
temperature.
Tampering is detected whenever the accessory is moved or casing is
opened.
Built-in LED indicator and an acoustic alarm signal ooding and
tampering. The LED can be also used to identify the accessory.
The accessory is designed to be placed on the oor or mounted on a
wall (in this case sensor should be extended using an external probe).
The accessory is sink-proof, which means it drifts on the water surface
and keeps on sending alarm signal in case of substantial inundation
of water.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
SENS 1
SENS 2
Extending Flood Sensor contacts with a wired probe:
NOTE
Mounting screws
shown in a diagram
are not included.
Choose a screw type
depending on the
building material it is
being attached to.
i
CAUTION
Sensor’s contacts are
dedicated to ood de-
tection only. Do not
connect external volt-
age!
!
#4: Physical installation
To install the Flood Sensor simply place it sensor on a surface prone
to ooding.
Three electrodes underneath the device should evenly touch the sur-
face.
If you want the accessory to be mounted on a wall or in a distance
from ooding source, sensor should be extended using an external
probe (not included).
We recommend using extension probes or cables designed to detect
water. Probes ends should be coated with non-corrosive metal.
Connection wires should not be longer than 3m and thicker than
18AWG (0.82mm2).
NOTE
Before completing
the installation it is
recommended to test
sensor’s operation by
placing the entire sen-
sor or sensor probe
onto water surface.

FUNCTIONALITIES
#6: Functionalities
Flooding detection:
The Flood Sensor alarms about ooding whenever water connects
sensor’s probes and reports it to your iOS device.
Until the ooding does not cease, the accessory constantly beeps and
blinks red signaling the alarm.
Tampering signalization is ignored during the alarm.
Tamper detection:
The Flood Sensor detects tampering when the accessory is moved
or casing is opened and reports it to your iOS device.
Tampering is indicated with an alternate blinking in red, blue and
white and one short beep.
Temperature measuring:
The Flood Sensor measures ambient temperature every 10 min-
utes. If the measured temperature diers from previously reported
by at least 1°C (1.8°F), accessory reports it to your iOS device.
Battery level measuring:
The Flood Sensor measures battery level every 24 hours and reports
it to your iOS device. Additionally, if battery level is below 15%, the
accessory will report low level battery status to your iOS device.

CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS
#7: Congurable parameters
1. Tamper – sensor sensitivity
This parameter allows to set sensitivity of tamper detection.
The higher the value of this parameter, the higher the sensitivity.
If the installation surface is prone to vibrations, setting lower sensitiv-
ity is recommended.
Available settings: 0– tamper disabled
1– low sensitivity
2– medium sensitivity
3– high sensitivity
Default setting: 2 (medium sensitivity)
