Just completed my installation of the LeakSmart. The overall install was easy if you know how to solder pipe joints. Once plugged in ST found it with out issue as a valve. The actions to open and close the valve occur with only 3 a second delay.
Integrating with my leak sensors to automatically close the valve if a leak occurs was not so cut and dry (ha ha). From what I can tell there is no smart app to do this action. I thought Dry the Wet Spot would work based on the description but it is designed to turn on a pump not off a valve. To get around this I took the Dry the Wet Spot code and made (3) adaptations and posted as a MyAPP
- flipped the on command to off
- removed the action to turn on when the sensor triggers dry
- removed the time out feature
I took this one step further and also wired in a switch to turn off the pump in-case of failure. Again using adapted code from Dry the Wet Spot. Tested and woks great both pump and valve cut the flow with in 5 second of the leak sensor being triggerd.
Because Dry the Wet Spot only had 1 to 1 relationships I had to set up (2) my apps per leak sensor. A little messy, think I might try edit the code to do multi sensor and multi device selection. For now it does what I wanted, turns off the water flow if a leak occurs.
