Wateralarm sensor

[Martinvdm]

Hi,

Does someone has experience with a watersensor witch gives an alarm in case of water and compitable with the RFXCom? Not a water temperature meter, but an watersensor.

Thanks

Martin

To detect water / flooding I use a Zwave solution:
hashop.nl/Webwinkel-Product-12205215/Ev ... ensor.html
Zwave is not picked up by RFXcom, so I use it with the Aeon Lab Stick and Homeseer.

I also use various Visonic sensors which can be detected by RFXCom. Visonic has a water/flood sensor, but I do not use it. No particular reason why I do not use this one. This sensor is made for the PowerMax alarm module so potentially it could be picked up by RFXCom.

You might want to check with the maker of RFXCom to make 100% sure it will work.

good luck
Olof

Thanks Olof. I'am not experienced with Visonic devices. Is it using a open 433 Mhz protocol, so it van be used with Micasa Vera, Homewizard or Rfcom?

[olof]

My Visonic stuff operates at 868 mhz. But I think Rfxcom can (or could) receive on both frequencies.
If you do a search on this forum, you will find lots of info on the combinations visonic and rfxcom

I've tried this one: http://www.smarthousestore.co.uk/wd18-w ... ector.html

It looks rather strange but it works just fine with RFXCOM. It sends X10 security on 433MHz

It's quite loud but with care you can disconnect the alarm.

I`m using this Z-Wave sensor http://www.hashop.nl/FIB_FGFS-101

I think you can even use a this one by just removing the reed contact and using to wires for water detection

The reed contact is the glas tube on the print

I know, old thread but does the Visonic MCT-550 work with rfxcom and homeseer v2.6 pro?

[raymonvdm]

I think it should work if you have a 868.95 Mhz Visonic receiver like. I thought rfxcom had one but i cannot find it

[Edwin2008]

in the first rfxcomm i had included a 868.95MHz Visonic slave receiver, item Number 40079 and i do see other visonic devices. Just wondering if the MCT-550 is supported in both rfxcom and homeseer v2.6

[b_weijenberg]

The MCT550 is supported.
