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.
