I don't use Ubiquity because of the hub requirement, but the sensors that detect leaks are meant to be placed close to the floor. They detect a completed circuit on one end of the device to the other, indicating water is present.
I think they mean it’s an all in one sensor, so it’s both a door sensor and a leak detector. Which I agree is quite an odd combination, since you likely don’t want a door sensor touching the ground, what with it being dragged across the floor all the time.
The sensor probably shouldn't touch the floor, just hover slightly above it
