Opsætning

1. Batteriinstallation

The sensor requires one CR2 Lithium battery. A battery is typically included and may be pre-installed with a pull tab. If not pre-installed, gently open the battery compartment (usually on the side or back) and insert the CR2 battery, ensuring the correct positive (+) and negative (-) polarity. Close the compartment securely.

2. Pairing with SmartThings Hub

The Aeotec Water Leak Sensor operates using the Zigbee protocol and requires a compatible smart home hub, such as the Aeotec Smart Home Hub or a Samsung SmartThings Hub Gen 3. Follow these steps to pair your sensor:

1. Ensure your SmartThings Hub is powered on and connected to your network.
2. Åbn SmartThings app på din mobile enhed.
3. Navigate to the 'Devices' tab and tap the 'Add' (+) icon, then select 'Add device'.
4. Select 'Scan' or search for 'Aeotec Water Leak Sensor'.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions. You may be prompted to scan the QR code located on the back of the sensor or pull the battery tab (if present) to initiate pairing mode.
6. Once detected, the sensor will appear in your app. Assign it a name and location within your home.

3. Appkonfiguration

After successful pairing, you can customize the sensor's settings within the SmartThings app. This includes:

• Notifikationsindstillinger: Configure push notifications, SMS alerts, or email alerts for water leak detection and temperature changes.
• Automatisering: Create routines to interact with other smart devices. For example, if a leak is detected, you could trigger a smart siren, shut off a smart water valve, or turn off specific smart plugs.
• Temperaturtærskler: Set custom temperature ranges for alerts.

Betjening af sensoren

Retningslinjer for placering

Strategic placement is crucial for effective leak detection. Place the sensor in areas where water leaks are most likely to occur or cause significant damage. Ensure the water detection probes on the bund of the sensor can make direct contact with any pooling water.

• Under vaske (køkken, badeværelse)
• Nær vandvarmere
• Behind or under washing machines and dishwashers
• I kældre eller bryggerser
• Near refrigerators with ice makers

Lækagedetektion

When water comes into contact with the sensor's probes, it completes an electrical circuit, triggering the sensor. An immediate alert will be sent to your SmartThings app, notifying you of the detected leak.

Temperaturovervågning

The sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature in its location. You can view the current temperature in the SmartThings app and set up custom alerts if the temperature falls outside your desired range (e.g., to detect freezing conditions in a basement).

Opretholdelse

Udskiftning af batteri

The sensor is powered by one CR2 Lithium battery. The SmartThings app will notify you when the battery level is low. To replace the battery:

1. Carefully open the battery compartment. Refer to the quick-start guide for specific instructions on opening your sensor model.
2. Fjern det gamle CR2-batteri.
3. Insert a new CR2 Lithium battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Luk batterirummet forsvarligt.

Note: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Rensning

To ensure optimal performance, keep the sensor clean. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry, or slightly damp klæde. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the sensor in water. Regularly check the water detection probes for any debris or corrosion.

Fejlfinding

• Sensor Not Connecting or Offline:

  Ensure the sensor is within the effective Zigbee wireless range (typically 50-130 feet indoors, depending on building materials) of your SmartThings Hub. Check the battery level in the SmartThings app. If the issue persists, try moving the sensor closer to the hub or re-pairing the device by following the setup instructions.

• Falske alarmer:

  Verify that the sensor is placed on a completely dry surface. High humidity or condensation in the environment might occasionally trigger false positives. Ensure no metallic objects are bridging the detection probes.

• Ingen advarsler modtaget:

  Check your notification settings within the SmartThings app for the specific sensor. Confirm that your mobile device has internet connectivity and that app notifications are enabled. Also, verify the sensor's battery status.
• Unøjagtige temperaturmålinger:

  Ensure the sensor is not placed in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in drafts that could affect its temperature readings.
