REVIEW
Floods are really, really bad. For those who have never had the experience, let me assure you that you don't want it. The destruction of personal property, the clean up, the tearing out of floors and walls and rebuilding of the place just sucks. The only possible bright side is that it, if you've got the insurance or extra money, you might get some nice new floors out of the nightmare.
A smart flood sensor light the Eve Water Guard can definitely give you a chance to avoid all of this.
The Eve Water Guard flood sensor is Homekit compatible and of course will get you the notifications if a flood event is detected. Of course it can also be used as a trigger for any scene or automation that you have configured in your Apple Homekit home. If water is detected, flash lights, play a siren on your Airplay2 devices, turn plugs on/off to prevent damage to electrical equipment - there are a lot of possibilities here.
The Eve Water Guard isn't the first flood sensor available for Apple Homekit, but it does have some features that differentiates it from the other devices available in this category. The fact that the Eve Water Guard plugs directly into a wall socket is both a good and bad thing. Sure, you'll never have to worry about whether your batteries ran out or have to source odd shaped batteries, but it also means that you are much more restricted on where you can place the flood sensor.
Eve definitely though this limitation through though and gave us a long sensing cable to help deal with this location restriction. And the extension cable allows the Eve Water Guard to cover up to an AMAZING 150m from a single device.
In contrast, the Fibaro and Aqara flood sensors, the other two which are available, don't even ship with a sensing cable.
I sincerely hope that you never have to deal with a flood, but if you do, having a device like the Eve Water Guard can help you react to it quicker and limits the damage to your positions and living space.
