Vera hub.
Water Sensor 6 isn't compatible without changing some settings through your Vera gateway. You can find steps to
allow Water Sensor 6 to work in your Vera hub here: https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000216341-

Advanced functions.
Wake up Water Sensor 6.
You can manually wake up Water Sensor 6 for 10 minutes in order to send it new configurations or settings from your
Z-Wave gateway.
1. Press and hold the Action Button of Water Sensor 6 for 3 seconds.
2. When the LED becomes an orange/yellow LED color after 3 seconds, release the Action Button.
3. Your sensor will now blink rapidly (orange LED color) to indicate that it is awake. Your Water Sensor 6 will
continue to stay awake for 10 minutes before going back to sleep on its own.
4. Once you are done configuring your sensor, to conserve battery power, place your Water Sensor back to sleep
by tapping its Action Button once.
Alternatively, if your gateway queues configuration settings or other commands.
1. From your gateway, enter the configuration settings that you want.
2. Your gateway will wait for Water Sensor to wake up to send the command. Typically your gateway will confirm
that Water Sensor 6 will need to wake up.
3. Tap the Action Button once on Water Sensor, and your gateway will automatically send the configurations to
your Water Sensor 6.
Removing Water Sensor 6 from your Z-Wave Network.
This is the preferred method of removing your Water Sensor 6. Using this method will ensure that Water Sensor does
not leave a phantom/failed node in your network. Sometimes phantom/failed nodes become impossible or difficult to
remove.
This method can be used with any Primary Z-Wave Gateway (Water Sensor does not need to be paired for an
unsuccessful pair).
1. Set your Z-Wave gateway into unpair/removal mode.
2. Tap the Action Button 3x times on Water Sensor 6.
3. If it was successful, the RGB LED of your Water Sensor 6 will become a rainbow gradient, and your gateway
should confirm a successful removal.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 if you do not see the rainbow gradient LED.
