Motorola HMSM4160 QUICK START GUIDE
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight™ Wireless Water Sensor. Your Water Sensor
can monitor the presence of water in areas such as a sump pump, basement/cellar, beach house, under sinks,
and water pipes. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Water Sensor.
Controlling Your Sensor
Using your computer and the Wireless System Controller, you locally manage your home environment with
the Motorola homesight software. When configured, the system can notify you of any new events by sending
an e-mail when your Water Sensor detects an event. An event is defined as a change from a wet or dry state
where the tip of the water sensor probe is located.
How It Works
The Water Sensor detects the presence or absence of water and notifies you when a water leak or water
deficit is detected. When triggered, it sends a notification to your Wireless System Controller. The probe is
immersible, enabling you to monitor various types of environments.
