  It is a component of a SimplySafe alarm system. You place it on the floor near a potential leak source and it triggers the alarm if any water flows beneath it.

    Yeah in my situation I can usually tell if there’s a “potential leak” by the amount of water flooding the living room floor.

    It’s the “cross your fingers and pray your house holds together” way of life I’m used to.
