Who is the Float Switch Alert System for?

The Float Switch Alert System and the AlertAQ™ platform are for HVAC businesses that want to (a) avoid water damage at customer’s homes due to overflowing drain pans and (b) be instantly notified when an A/C system has shut off because the condensate switch has been triggered.

How to install the Float Switch Alert System

The Float Switch Alert System can be installed on indoor residential air conditioning units in less than 10 minutes by a certified HVAC technician. The Float switch cable is connected to the existing wiring for the condensate overflow switch. This cable is plugged into the Floodie flood sensor which is placed inside the drain pan. No WiFi is required.

How does the Float Switch Alert System work?

The Float Switch Alert System is made up of three components: (1) the Floodie flood sensor (2) the Float switch cable and (3) the Sentree A/C monitoring system. When the float switch is triggered or there is water in the drain pan, Floodie communicates with Sentree which then relays the text, email or in-app alert to assigned users’ phones – such as an HVAC technician or dispatch manager.

The AlertAQ™ water Insights platform

AI-Powered water leak detection

Cost-saving water use analytics for high water use, leaks, and water use above custom thresholds.
Automated water leak phone calls and text, email and in-app alerts for leaks, temperature, and humidity.
Remotely control water flow with the tap of a button on your phone.
Always on. Always working.
Thanks to a standalone, cellular network connection, Sensor Relay is more secure and more reliable than leading WiFi connected devices. Plus, it works even during power outages.
Wall mounted or sits on shelf
Designed with ease-of install in mind, Sensor Relay connects to the nearest cell tower right out of the box. It can simply be placed where it won't get unplugged or can be mounted with the included mounting plate for added durability and security.
Plugs in with backup battery
Sensor Relay's backup battery ensures continued operation even in a power outage. Sensor Relay also lets you know when there is power loss at the building.
Detects temperature, too
Customizable temperature thresholds for hot and cold add an extra layer of monitoring and alerts, especially in places where sudden changes in temperature can lead to major damage.
The water-saving insights made possible by the connection Sensor Relay establishes between water flow sensors and AlertAQ™ are bringing us closer to achieving our sustainability goals."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Sensor Relay installed?

Sensor Relay can be mounted to the wall or simply placed on a shelf close to an indoor electrical outlet.

How does Sensor Relay create a communication network?

The companion sensors: Floodie, Flowie-O, Humie, and Shuttie all communicate with Sensor Relay which connects to the nearest cell tower creating a secure, standalone network to talk to the AlertAQ™ water insights platform.

Can Sensor Relay be installed in commercial buildings?

Yes, Sensor Relay is a commercial-grade communication hub designed for installation in commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial buildings.

What if the cell signal is weak at one of my buildings?

The extension antenna accessory cable allows Sensor Relay to improve signal strength without needing to relocate the sensor itself.

What is the price?
