Yesterday I unboxed and setup my controller. I am making the switch from a Vera Plus. I unpaired six Fibaro flood sensors FGFS-101-USA-A-v1.00 and was able to pair them successfully. In Basic Rules I made a scene that says when water is detected then turn ON a switch. The problem I am having is tha…

Still no joy getting my Fibaro flood sensors to work. I have excluded them from the controller as well as performed a factory reset. I then paired a sensor back into "devices" but still it does not appear to be working. Sensor shows "dry" even when I subject it to water.....uggggg! Two questions: …

That's correct.... all 6 sensors when wet do not change from "dry" to "wet". As mentioned, they all worked prior to removing them from the veraplus controller. I did excluded them and then installed on the Habitat.

Here's a screen shot of one of the sensors..... [image]

I think the lack of a 0x5E in cluster means you have a non-plus device. :thinking: Depending on the version of Hubitat hub you have that may be a problem.

I'm not sure what "the lack of a 0x5E cluster" means but I'm sure the sensor is a non-plus device since the date on the box is 2016. I guess I will have to get some updated flood sensors. Can you recommend a source to buy them? I'll probably need other sensors so a good supplier would be beneficial…

Sorry in advance for newbie questions.... Can I have both zwave and zigbee devices running on my Hubitat at the same time? Also, will a zigbee water sensor trigger a zwave switch device?

[image] tr6worker: Can I have both zwave and zigbee devices running on my Hubitat at the same time? Absolutely, most people do this, as well as having a mix of other protocols. i.e. Lutron, Matter, Kasa, Wiz, etc. [image] tr6worker: Also, will a zigbee water sensor trigger a zwave switch…

Thanks again for your prompt and informative information.... that helps a lot.

A non + device should work. Maybe you just need a Z-wave repeater to boost your signal, or install some additional Z-wave devices that can repeat, light switches, smartplugs, etc. If you only have these battery powered devices on your Z-wave network then it's probably just a matter of boosting you…

Just getting started and in need of some help

Personally I'm more of a ZigBee user and quite like the IKEA product line.
Depending on your location you might have access to different suppliers.
