Resideo Unveils Updated Connected Water Leak Detection Solution
Resideo Technologies has introduced the First Alert L2 WiFi Water Sensor and Switch. The sensor is the latest addition to a line of connected water-leak detection and shutoff products to help protect homes from water damage.
The sensor can automatically shut off or turn on HVAC equipment – including, air conditioners, heat pumps, dehumidifiers and pumps – if condensation or moisture is sensed where it doesn’t belong. It’s the only sensor on the market that features: WiFi connectivity, a sensing cable for added coverage, and monitors temperature and humidity trends.
An ideal solution to minimize damage following a coil freeze-up if a condensate pan overflows, the solution offers:
- Easy installation. The L2 sensor is hardwired to HVAC equipment and doesn’t require a battery. Ideal for hard-to-reach installation locations, it features a reusable, five-foot cable sensor.
- Intelligent sensing. The L2 sensor monitors water, humidity and temperature and can be re-set after a leak occurs.
- Smart leak alerts. Homeowners are informed if condensation or overflow from HVAC equipment has occurred via the Resideo app. The device also features LED lights that flash and a 100 dBA alarm when a leak is sensed.
