INSTEON Setup

Some products have subtle differences in their setup procedures. Where necessary, please refer to the other device’s owner’s manual for details.

INSTEON Controllers, Responders and Links

Let’s define a few terms.

• Each INSTEON compatible product is called a device

• The INSTEON “transmitter” is called a controller

• The INSTEON “receiver” is called a responder

The association between the controller and responder is called a link

Basic INSTEON Link

Link

Controller Responder

Note that a link is one way. If you wish to have control “the other way,” simply add a link “the other way.”

Add Leak Sensor to INSTEON Hub

1) Open INSTEON App on smartphone/tablet and follow onscreen instructions to set up

Leak Sensor

Responders

Make Leak Sensor a Controller

Follow the steps below to link Leak Sensor as a controller of another INSTEON device. The linked device will respond when Leak Sensor detects moisture.

1) Press and hold Leak Sensor Set button for about 3 seconds. Leak Sensor LED will start blinking green.

2) Place Leak Sensor on floor in desired location.

3) Adjust responder to desired brightness/state

4) Press and hold responder Set button until it double-beeps. Leak Sensor LED will stop blinking.

5) Test by tapping Leak Sensor Set button. Responder will turn on.

6) To add multiple responders, repeat steps 1-5 for each additional responder

Remove Leak Sensor as a Controller (Unlink)

1) Press and hold Leak Sensor Set button until the status LED begins blinking

LED will start blinking green

2) Press and hold Leak Sensor Set button again until the status LED blink cadence changes

LED will continue blinking

3) Press and hold responder Set button until it double-beeps

Leak Sensor’s LED will stop blinking

4) Test by tapping Leak Sensor Set Button with Responder in the Off state

Former responder will not respond

Factory Reset

All settings and scenes will be erased.

1) Using a small flat blade screwdriver, carefully open the bottom case of Leak Sensor

2) Pull out the battery

3) Wait 5 seconds

4) Push in Set button and hold it. Do not let go.

5) Reinstall the battery while holding down the Set button

LED will turn on solid Green for a few seconds

Troubleshooting

Problem

Leak Sensor is unable to communicate with another INSTEON device

It takes a long time for one or more of

Leak Sensor’s responders to respond

Possible Cause

Leak Sensor and the other device are out of range

The other device is near a localized powerline noise source or attenuator

Leak Sensor is repeatedly retrying to control a missing responder

Solution

Install more INSTEON products

(including, but not limited to Range

Extenders/Access Points)

Isolate the noise/attenuator using a

FilterLinc

If the responder is still available, unlink it

from Leak Sensor. See Remove Leak

Sensor as an INSTEON Responder

Perform a factory reset. See Factory

Reset

None. As designed. Leak Sensor can turn responder on, but not off

Leak Sensor is not designed to turn off responders. This prevents warning lights or other leak indication devices from turning off in the event the leak dries.

If you have tried these solutions, reviewed this Owner's Manual, and still cannot resolve an issue you are having with Leak Sensor, please call the INSTEON Support Line at 1-866-243-8022
