Smart Shield Systems
2GIG Flood & Temperature Control Detector
Protect against leaks and frozen pipes with a wireless flood + temperature sensor that reports to your security panel and the Alarm.com app. We deploy 2GIG-class detectors that sense standing water at floor level and alert on freeze (~41°F) and high heat (~95°F) conditions—perfect for water heaters, under-sink cabinets, laundry rooms, and HVAC pans.
Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems
- Pro placement & testing: We position the probe/puck at true floor level (or under drip sources) and verify wet/restore and temp alerts end-to-end.
- The right model for your home: We install the probe-style FT1-345 or the puck-style FT6-345 (dual water-sensing contacts) based on location and finish.
- Clean integration: We enroll separate freeze/heat notifications and set up Alarm.com rules (texts, scenes, optional valve shutoff).
- Ongoing support: Battery replacements, seasonal pre-freeze checks, and leak automations.
Key Features
- Fast, reliable leak alerts
- Temperature protection
- Supervised, wireless security-grade RF to your panel for tamper, low-battery, and health check-ins.
- Long life batteries: CR2 (FT1) or CR123A (FT6), typically ~5 years.
Product Specifications (At-a-Glance)
- Models we deploy: 2GIG-FT1-345 (probe) and 2GIG-FT6-345 (puck).
- Radio: 345 MHz, fully supervised; separate zones/loops for flood, heat, freeze (FT6: Loop 3 = Flood, Loop 2 = Heat, Loop 1 = Freeze; FT1: Loop 2 = Heat, Loop 3 = Freeze; flood reported via external probe).
- Batteries: CR2 (FT1) / CR123A (FT6); projected ~5-year life.
- Operating environment: FT1 32–120°F; FT6 32–104°F, 5–95% RH (non-condensing).
- Open-air range (FT6): up to ~350 ft with a compatible 2GIG panel.
Popular Use Cases
- Under sinks and behind toilets
- Water heater bases and washer pans
- HVAC condensate pans and low points where water collects
Frequently Asked Questions
FT1-345 uses a small floor probe on a cable (great for tight spaces); FT6-345 is a puck that detects drips on top and puddles underneath for dual leak sensing.
We enroll freeze and heat on their own loops so you get labeled notifications; FT1 reports after ~5 minutes, FT6 after ~3 minutes, to avoid nuisance trips.
Yes—paired with a compatible smart water valve, a leak can close the main and notify you immediately. (Configured in Alarm.com.)
Typical life is about five years; your panel/app will show low battery well before replacement is needed.
The FT6-345 spec lists ~350 ft open air. We still test on-site and may add repeaters if needed for long runs or heavy construction.
