parisi Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I am brand new to insteon. I just bought and installed a 994pro ir. I have the insteon 2413s plm. I also have a leak detector. I try to find (link, I think is the terminology) my leak detector and it never appears. I am only about 15 feet away. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Paul. Edited January 11, 2015 by parisi
stusviews Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum. The Leak Sensor is a battery powered device. Battery powered devices go to sleep when not broadcasting, for example, a leak, in order to conserve the battery. Put the Leak Sensor in linking mode before adding it. Better yet, click on Link Management. Edited January 11, 2015 by stusviews
parisi Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 I think I did that - I put the Leak Detector into link mode by holding the button down for 5 seconds and the light blinks but still no link.
TheWabit Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Parisi - Once it is in linking mode, then you go to "Link Management" on top of the ISY Console and select "new Insteon Device". A box will pop up where you can add the address and name. Or you can select "Start Linking" Edited January 12, 2015 by TheWabit
stusviews Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Are you adding by discovery, Insteon ID or the Link Management tab? Are you putting the sensor in linking mode first.
416to305 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Leak Sensor always has to be added manually, by Link Management > New INSTEON Device. Then type in the address for it, just give it any name, and can leave it at Auto Discover. Put it in linking mode by holding it down for 5 seconds on the sensor and press Ok on the ISY. Always works for me that way.
parisi Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for all the help! I just ordered a plugin module to see if it works. Will update soon. Thanks!
stusviews Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Do you have the PLM plugged directly into the wall duplex receptacle? Do you have any other Insteon devices? Try bringing the sensor closer to the PLM.
