jzh Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi I just setup my new isy994i, and linked a Insteon leak sensor 2852-222. But 'status' is blank. When put it in program as a condition, wet/dry/heart always has no change. Anyone can help please? thanks James Link to comment

Until there us some change ISY has no way of knowing anything and shows a blank. If you want to see something in ISY you will have to test your LD unit. The heartbeat will send out a new heartbeat signal every 24 hours. It will send alternating on and off or just on each time. Search for Belias recommended leak detection system for a proven set of programs. They may also be listed on the UDI wiki. After testing with real water, dont forget to reset the LD after drying off.

jzh Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thank you. But my 2 leak sensors still have not any status after i using water to test them. Link to comment
lilyoyo1 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Did you look under the wet node? Link to comment
larryllix Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The water must have some minerals in it or it will be an insulator. Try a spill on the counter and touch the contacts into the puddle. Within another 12 hours you should be showing the heartbeat node filled in with "On" Your LD are showing that data is trying to be written to the devices . See the "1011"? Your setup was not complete and it appears the linking mode was not used properly. Start again. Link to comment
Bumbershoot Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I don't believe you have them set up properly in your ISY. In your screenshot, to the left of the leak sensors name, you'll see a symbol/icon that looks like it contains the numbers, "1011". This means that you have pending data that needs to be written to the sensor. You'll have to press the "Set" button on your leak sensor until its LED begins to blink, then write the changes to the device, which you can accomplish by right-clicking on the device and choosing, "Write Updates to Device" from the context menu. After the writes are finished, press the "Set" button once or twice more until the LED stops blinking, and you should be good to go. Then test the sensor. The sensor will have a symbol/icon next to the name that looks like a water droplet when the sensor is included into the ISY correctly. See screenshot. In your screenshot, it appears that you have a couple of other devices that need to have data written to them as well. Link to comment
jzh Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 You are geniuses! i had been testing for hours. Now it has the water droplet icon in front of the devices, and WORK! Thanks! Link to comment

Thanks! Don't forget to aways reset the LD after testing. Until you "reload" the LD it will not shoot another trigger and show "Wet" forever. Link to comment

simplextech Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 @jzh, glad you understood as I could take the "reload" term a couple of different directions... but I'm complicated like that. Link to comment
larryllix Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 [mention=11675]jzh[/mention], glad you understood as I could take the "reload" term a couple of different directions... but I'm complicated like that. We don't have many guns in Canada so 'reload' has fewer meanings. OK. The LD has to be 'cocked' or it won't fire when it touches water. The creators, in their wisdom, made the user check the water level before further usage after a leak is detected by forcing them to visit the location to reset the button, before the LD can detect again. IOW: it is a manual reset and no automatic reset will happen. Sent using Tapatalk Link to comment
