Brand: Hydro-Rain SKU: BHP-FFS
Product Overview
The Hydro-Rain BHP-FFS is a compact B-hyve wireless flood and temperature sensor designed to provide early warning when it detects water or potentially damaging temperature changes near plumbing, appliances, and other leak-prone areas. Place it beneath sinks, near water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators, toilets, sump pumps, or other locations where a small leak could go unnoticed.
When paired with a compatible B-hyve Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub and configured in the B-hyve app, the sensor can send mobile notifications for detected water, temperature alerts, and battery status. An audible alarm also provides local warning when water or a temperature condition is detected. Each sensor can be named in the app so the alert identifies the monitored location.
This listing is for the individual sensor. A B-hyve Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub is required for app connectivity and remote notifications and is not identified as included. The older Gen 1 Wi-Fi Hub used with legacy B-hyve hose timers is not compatible with B-hyve flood sensors. The current quick-start guide lists an approximate sensor-to-hub range of 150 feet without interference; walls, metal, soil, and other obstructions can reduce that distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BHP-FFS include the B-hyve hub?
No hub is identified as included with this individual-sensor listing. A compatible Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub is required for app connectivity.
Will it work with the original B-hyve hose-timer hub?
No. B-hyve flood sensors require the Gen 2 Wi-Fi Hub and are not compatible with the older Gen 1 hub.
Does the sensor stop a leak automatically?
No. It detects water or temperature conditions and provides local and app-based alerts. It does not contain a water shutoff valve.
