Will it float and continue to work? null

the idea is simple it contains 2 electrodes, when there is a connection between the electrodes, the sensor starts.

Not water proof, may get non functional. Not tried.

According to the directions you can't get this wet...so i'm guessing no.

It does not seem waterproof to me

I dont think this think will float in a way that it will continue to work. If too much water gets in it, itll die. But the way i see it, its better to have a broken water sensor than more water damage on the house.

I haven't tested my answer, but I'm going to bet no - The unit isn't water tight - I think you would get the initial notification, but IMO if it gets totally covered, I do think the unit would fail. That being said, the Smart Hub app does continue to tell you there is a leak until you turn off the alert manually in the app. Hope that helps.

You could mount the unit in a small foam block ..it would rise with the water level ....
