Hi, is anyone familiar w/ an internet connected device that montitors for water? I'm hoping to find some IOT zigbee or SmartThings sensor that can send a text message/e-mail when the sensor detects water. My parents have a vacation home in florida and the A/C unit is in the attic. It has a catch pan for water condensation and will drain to the outside, however, the drain gets clogged and they find water spots on their ceiling a lot. Lucky the AC unit is in the garage so the water spots don't have to be repainted all the time. However, I'd like to try and set them up with a doohickey that can alert them that there is water pooling up so they don't have to wait to see there's an issue. I thought I remembered reading an article on a tech site where someone went all in on a "smart house" and a water sensor was used but I can't find the article, and thus the device. my 5 minute google search came up empty other than some server farm setups, which is not what they need.
EDIT: ok so I needed 5 minutes & 30 seconds of searching... This is what I was looking for. Has anyone used one before?
