Flood Sensor not alerting

Featured Replies

Posted

So I got some new Fibaro flood sensors and created a program and tested each one when I got them, now however we had a flood and the sensor was beeping however i did not get alerts to my phone and email. Attached is a screen shot of my program and below is the log for it. I don't see it alerting in the log either. 6:17 AM is when I discovered it and moved the sensor that's why the tamper alarm was on. I'm sure it is something simple I'm missing but I don't see it.

I have no sensors of this type, but I think you should be using Control/Switched for your If logic, not Status. Their statuses may have already been permanently On from testing, and did not change when water was detected. Do they have to be reset each time?

Your Repeat 3 times is not repeating anything. Move that line up to the top of the Then section..

You can right click on your program title in the program tree and select copy to clipboard so you can past programs into the forum.

Make sure there are no blank fields in your email configuration setup. All fields must be populated.

Take a look at your error log to see if there are any email  /  text error messages.

So i didn't have any blank fields, and I just modified my program slightly below moving the repeat to the correct spot. I tested each one and they are working fine now. These sensors automatically reset when you move them to a dry area so the status on should be fine. Looking in the log it appears to me that maybe I could potentially have a zwave wireless coverage issue, as it almost appears that the status event never even made it to the ISY.

 

Flood Alarms - [ID 0011][Parent 0010]

If
        Status  'Store Room / Store.fld.leak' is On
     Or Status  'Leonard's Room / Leo.fld.leak' is On
     Or Status  'Utility Room / Utility.fld.leak' is On
 
Then
        Repeat 3 times
           Send Notification to 'Andrew and Joleen Email'
           Send Notification to 'Andrew and Joleen Text'
           Wait  30 minutes 
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 

The ISY log will only show device status changes

The ISY error log would show email communications errors.

You might want to try the Zwave tools in the Admin Console. There are options to repair the zwave network.

Yep I am going to do a repair of the zwave network. The error log does now show any email communication errors. and in the ISY log I do not see the status change for the leak status on for when the original leak happened, I only see the leak status off from when I moved it to be dry. Which leads me to believe for some reason it "missed" the status on  change.

If you have tested the notifications successfully,  tested the program Then section successfully, and tested your sensors successfully, then there is only your logic left.
