Leak Sensors (REV2.3)

[smokegrub]

I purchased a couple of these from Dell. Apparently they are an older technology since the Heartbeat does not display as ON in the heartbeat node. Am I correct? If so, I will design the program to notify me when the Heartbeat reports its status as ON (which I assume will only occur when the battery is low). Good price on these but I didn't ask for their REV number. Oh, well.

That is not correct.   I have a REV2.3 hardware Leak Sensor.   It is an I2CS device and does report Heartbeat On every 24 hours (nominal).

 

There is no Low Bat for Leak Sensor.

You are correct, Lee. A check today shows that the sensor did, in fact, report a heartbeat 24 hours later.

Thanks for positive feedback.

I was about to return the leak sensor because of this... I too in fact created a program to report if there is a lack of heartbeat... but since it does not show a status normally, I can not accomplish this...

 

 

Furnace - Variable Control 2 - [iD 000A][Parent 0001]

If

        Control 'Furnace Water-Heartbeat' is switched On

     Or Control 'Furnace Water-Heartbeat' is switched Off

 

Then

        $sLeakFurnace  = 1

        Wait  25 hours

        $sLeakFurnace  = 2

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Leak Sensor Problem - [iD 000E][Parent 0001]

If

        (

             Time is  9:00:00AM

          Or Time is  6:00:00PM

        )

    And (

             $sLeakSump is not 1

          Or $sLeakFurnace is not 1

        )

 

Then

        Send Notification to 'All' content 'Leak Sensor Problem'

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

 

 

How can I force a heartbeat status?
