  1. Thanks Teken. I will probably give the open/close device a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Very close to what I’m thinking. I am imagining using a solenoid at 12 volts wired to a transformer plunged into an on/off zwave or Insteon switch. That will satisfy my “control” I am still looking for a solution as to how to wirelessly determine the level of the water in the pool so I can use that information to run a program to control when to turn on/off the water valve. It must be a wireless water level transmitter because I can’t run wiring. Thanks for the inputs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Thanks everyone. Certainly some good suggestions to contemplate. Appreciate all the responses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I was thinking of using an Insteon water leak sensor but do not know if when it senses the water will it quickly drain the battery? Does someone have a suggestion on how this may be implemented? Will it continue transmitting as long as it senses water? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. My biggest problem is I do not have a float and need some wireless method to detect when the water is to a level I have pre selected which I could then use to control a solenoid to allow water to enter the pool. Either an Insteon or zwave method to determine the water level would be the preferred solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks to everyone who responded. Sure do appreciate all the feedback Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Thanks larryllix. Appreciate the response. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Thanks glacier991. Appreciate the info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Thanks Mustang65. I’m hoping to find a wireless(waterproof) sensor that will xmit to either zwave or Insteon or possibly a dedicated receiver that I can then access in a program to control a valve inserted in the return line of the pool system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Has anyone tried putting together a wireless swimming pool water level sensor and controller? If so could you share your success on this forum? I’m looking to maintain the water level in my pool to compensate for evaporation and don’t want to break up concrete to run wires. Frank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks Andy, Appreciate the response Frank
  12. Thank Andy, I will give this a try. Question though, if I disable program2, will it still function? Frank
  13. Would like to request assistance in programming an Aeotec MultiSensor to sense both Luminance and motion. If I use the if statement and try to turn a light on with both motion and luminance less than 50 lux, the light turns on but as soon as the multisensor sees the light the value changes from the luminance and therefore will not work for an occupancy detector. The if statement goes false as soon as the value increases above 50 lux. The only control I have of this value is the time between sending the report from the z wave device which I would like to keep at 30 seconds as I am using the USB power and not concerned about battery life. Also have a question regarding the Then statement. Is there any way to stop the then command once it has been started, such as when used in a timer situation when it gets started because no motion was detected but during the wait time of say 2 minutes, motion is again detected and I wish to keep the lights on until no motion is detected? If anyone has a good program for occupancy detection utilizing an Aeotec MultiSensor, I would appreciate seeing it. if control z sensor is switched on and status z sensor is < 50 lux then set kitchen lights on else Thanks, Frank
