I would like to understand how to interface macrodroid with external wireless sensors to detect and trigger the following events:

detect the presence of liquids such as flooding.

detect gas leaks.

let me know if you know other sensors that can be interfaced with macrodroid and how to do it?
also I am looking to understand if there is an android smartswatch sensore capable of detecting falls and triggering an event and signaling an alarm?
let me know thanks
greetings marco

here is the answer of an Italian youtube
Flood sensors there are as many as you want, I use the one from Fibaro z-wave, if you prefer zigbee there is Frient. Macrodroid I don't know
:-(( what it is though, you will have to study the integration yourself. Fall sensors Apple Watch has them if you are not wrong, I do not exclude others as well, but I know that several smarthome companies are taking an interest in the subject, so I expect news in the next few months.

my question to an expert in home automation and android app italiano
hello congratulations on your video, I'm looking for some sensor capable of interfacing with the powerful macrodroid, I'm 'looking for a sensor capable of detecting the presence of liquids such as a flood and so something that can detect the fall of a person maybe there is a smartwatch capable of doing so, the idea is to create home automation applications with macrodroid
hi let me know and congratulations again for your tuorial

His answer that I was not convinced at all, I am convinced that underestimates too much md what would you answer?

Flood sensors there are as many as you want, I use the Fibaro z-wave one, if you prefer zigbee there is Frient. I don't know what Macro Droid is though, you'll have to work out the integration yourself.
Apple Watch has fall sensors if you're not mistaken, I don't rule out others, but I know that several smart home companies are getting interested in the subject, so I expect news in the coming months.
I understand what macro-drioid is, I used to use something similar for home automation, Tasker, 6-7 years ago. But there's so much better now, it doesn't make sense to do home automation that uses the smartphone as a hub to manage the automation. Home automation systems have much more advanced and easy-to-help device handlers, as well as hosting the automations themselves in their hubs.

I remain of the opinion that our macrodroid is snubbed and undervalued too much.
It's OK that hub solutions are easier to use, but I consider them to be valid systems, but very closed. With macrodroid, I think we can open the doors to the home automation technology of the future, with artificial intelligence.
i would like with your help to show the guy, who is still 7 years old, the enormous potential of md, i trust in your help with your answers.
thank you very much

Any device that is compatible with SmartThings is compatible with MacroDroid via a plugin called SharpTools. Besides this I don't know

thank you all for the valuable answers.
I remain of the idea that our macrodroid can be valued as it deserves. there is too little knowledge about this wonderful app, even from some insiders who gravitate to the world of home automation technology and android apps. I have noticed that several experts in the field always suggest to use home automation systems based on the relative protocols and hubs, certainly for the sake of simplicity of use, but I don't know if you will agree with me by limiting their potential because they are used in that way they always remain closed systems for their own sake. thanks to the enormous potential of macrodroid I would like to go much further and thus deny the detractors or those who downsize ideas and possible uses for ignorance. I am sure that if we join forces in a common scenario we will be able to do something great together, which may not make us regret the use of the various iftttt and tasker the first became paid with a subscription therefore usable by a few more expensive, the second more complicated to use. at this point I would like to give suggestions to the developer to the admin of the forum and to users with the greatest skills to create targeted tutorials on the most complicated features to use, with practical examples, I am convinced that it would help a lot to understand and optimize the best use of MD. this can be done in part by looking and studying some macros created by users, but what I said I think in the end it is better for everyone. for example it would be nice to understand how to use the plugins to integrate with sharptools type md, that I did not understand if it is free or paid or usable with subscription only? being able to use md with all its functionalities making our ideas and projects much more usable, compared to closed systems for exclusive use with hubs. furthermore I would like to be able to use md in interaction with alexa and interface directly to various types of sensors and possibly also through proprietary protocols and hubs. what do you think ? hi let me know.
sorry about my bad english
