That same sheet lists 2 years of battery life, a wider sensor set, and richer alert options. Fibaro Flood Sensor (Z-Wave) can warn about freeze conditions, while Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor is built for leak contact only. Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor keeps IP67 weather resistance, wider smart-home integrations, and the more affordable option, so it remains the pick when that priority beats 2 years of battery life. The practical recommendation is the Fibaro Flood Sensor (Z-Wave) for the fuller water leak sensor spec, with the Meross Smart Water Leak Sensor reserved for buyers who prize IP67 weather resistance.
