Shelly Group has announced U.S. launch of the next generation of its water leak sensor solutions. The Shelly Flood S Gen4 is a compact smart water leak sensor developed to detect leaks early and help homeowners prevent costly water damage.
Unlike pin-style sensors, the Shelly Flood S Gen4 features three large stainless-steel sensors across the bottom of the device to form a large-surface design that delivers fast, accurate water detection across a wider contact area. The enlarged contact surface allows the device to detect even the smallest amounts of water quickly, reducing the time between the start of a leak and the moment an alert or warning is issued. Its pads are sensitive enough to detect clean or low-conductivity water, such as condensate from air conditioning systems, catching the slow leaks or small drops that are frequently missed. Ultra-compact with a low profile, the Shelly Flood S Gen4 fits easily under appliances, beneath sinks, behind toilets, and can be installed in hard-to-reach spaces where leaks are most often found but go unnoticed.
Designed for use across all property types, the Shelly Flood S Gen4 sends a notification the moment water is detected to the user’s smartphone and triggers a built-in local alarm, alerting at-home occupants as well as those who may be away. Users may also choose from two different operating modes – flood detection and rain detection – to match the sensor’s behavior to the corresponding environment, and select from three different alarm profiles (intense, normal, and economic) to balance fast detection against longer operation. Battery-powered, the Flood S Gen4 delivers flexible, continuous protection against leaks for up to two years on an included CR123A battery.
Equipped with multi-protocol connectivity the Shelly Flood S Gen4 is Matter-certified and supports Wi-Fi and Zigbee connectivity, in addition to full local control, ensuring seamless integration with any connected ecosystem.
The Shelly Flood S Gen4 is available now for purchase directly from Shelly and through authorized distribution partners worldwide. MSRP for the Shelly Flood S Gen4 is $27.99.
