The Eve Water Guard uses a sensing cable, so it detects water anywhere along it, behind a whole row of appliances. The Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) detects water only where the puck sits, so a long run needs several of them.
The Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) measures temperature, sends temperature and freeze alerts and raises a tamper alert when it is tilted or moved. The Eve Water Guard detects water only.
The Eve Water Guard needs wall power, so it has to live near an outlet but never needs a battery. The Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) runs about 2 years on a CR123A cell and can optionally be powered from a DC supply.
The Eve Water Guard uses Thread with a border router, as well as Bluetooth. The Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) uses Bluetooth only, so its range depends on how close an Apple TV, HomePod or iPad is.
The Eve Water Guard's sensing cable covers the whole stretch, not a single spot.
Only the Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) has temperature and freeze alerts.
The Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) runs on a battery; the Eve Water Guard needs wall power.
The Eve Water Guard uses Thread, while the Fibaro relies on Bluetooth range to a HomeKit hub.
Owners of both are Apple Home users, and both groups report sensors that caught a real leak with a fast Home app alert plus a local siren and light. Eve Water Guard owners single out the sensing cable that covers a full appliance run, the account-free HomeKit setup and having no batteries to change. Fibaro Flood Sensor (HomeKit) owners single out the temperature reading for freeze automations, the tilt alarm and batteries still near full after a year. Their complaints differ: Eve owners mention the higher cost, the need for a nearby outlet, a cable that has to absorb a little water before it triggers and a few units that stopped working, while Fibaro owners mention Bluetooth range that needed an extra Apple TV in larger homes, occasional dropouts and no way to silence the alarm remotely.
Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
