1) Aggregating the Flood Sensor inputs (Normally Open). This is a little weird as you would never know what sensor tripped (you neighbour has one of these boards per sensor, which makes more sense)
2) Has a buzzer, to alarm on trigger (maybe)
3) Maybe giving the option of giving a normally closed or normally open output, to comfort (jumper setting)
Ideally you could do away with this board and connect these sensors to Comfort, one input per sensor, that way you can tell which one tripped, it looks like the sensor has a relay controlled output, so acts like a PIR for example.
The only gotcha would be if the outputs \'latch\', hence the need for this board - this can be easily tested with a multimeter across the sensor outputs
Hope this helps
