Automatic shutoff for 2nd floor laundry?

[Twoboos]

I vaguely remember that someone had posted about some kind of automatic shutoff valve thingy for 2nd floor laundry. If it senses a leak/overflow it shuts off the water.

I can't find anything on it - I'm such a bad searcher!! But I'm pretty sure I responded to the thread saying I need one! Our new house has 2nd fl w/d so I'd like to put one in.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? TIA!

AND the washing machine sits in a pan with a drain in it.

overkill? maybe. . . :)

HTH!
