FLOODIE COMPANION SENSOR

What is this thing?

How does it work?

This is an Alert Labs Floodie companion sensor. It sits on your floor and
warns you if it comes in contact with water.

In the box, you will find:

• Floodie companion sensor • Batteries (already installed)

• Adhesive pad • Quick start guide

INTRODUCTION

1. Your Floodie sits on the floor or can be adhered to the wall.

2. It detects when water comes into contact with the two gold strips
near the bottom of the sensor.

3. When it detects water, it communicates this to our servers and we
instantly inform you via email, text message, or push notification.

What will you need?

1. For installation, you will need to have first installed an orange Alert Labs
sensor. It needs to be installed and operating with a good cellular signal
before you install your Floodie. Your Floodie will need to be installed within
range of this sensor.

2. In order to register your Floodie, you’ll need a computer, tablet, or
mobile phone with access to the internet, and the serial number of the
sensor; it’s printed on the bottom of the device itself, on the box it came in,
and on the removable installation sticker.

VERY IMPORTANT

Your Floodie is a companion sensor, which means it doesn’t work alone.
Your Floodie needs to be installed within 400’ or 6 floors of a connected
orange-coloured Alert Labs sensor such as the Flowie water sensor.
Before installing your Floodie, make sure your orange Alert Labs sensor
is connected and shows a green light.

Your Floodie uses the cellular connection provided by these orange
sensors to communicate its information. You only need one orange
sensor to be able to operate any number of Floodies.

We recommend

We recommend installing the Alert Labs app on your mobile phone. You
will be able to use it to view what’s going on at your property and receive
potential flood alerts. You can find our app in your phone’s app store by
searching for “Alert Labs”.
