Title: Utilitech Z-Wave Flood Sensor (Lowe's)
Post by: Oendaril on August 20, 2014, 09:42:58 am

Just got this one paired, asked if it was flood or smoke.  Reports just fine on the router when i dip it in water.  Pretty good price if you didn't get in on the zigbee sensors from the kickstarter offer (29.99(

It's actually this one - http://www.everspring.com.tw/ST812.aspx which is on the list of supported sensors already http://wiki.securifi.com/index.php?title=List_of_compatible_sensors_-_Almond%2B_2014

Huh, you're right.  It's like twenty dollars less than the everspring, too!

Strange, but hey, as long as you got it for a steal  ;D

That said, the volume is about 5x of the SZ-WTD01 (ZigBee) that we offered....
It might have better battery life with three AA batteries compared to two CR2032's, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Amy way to see battery percentage from Almond+ app on android? The Ecolink  motion shows percentage battery status fine but not this Utilitec sensor. Thanks.
