I must be blind or crazy. I clicked on the “+” in the Dashboard, selected the “More” section, then “Convenience”, but it’s not in there. Am I looking in the wrong place?
When I copy/paste the code directly from above into “Create SmartApp,” / “from code” I’m receiving the error “metadata definition not found” Any thoughts on what would cause that? I’ve also searched for the code under “convenience” but was not able to find it, either. Anyone else successful?
So I got this working but the battery on the sensor died within a couple days, presumably because a little red light turns on when water is detected (which is obviously the normal state when using to monitor Christmas tree water levels…)
@sjones0812 have you run into this? Any workaround?
This post suggests the Aeon Water Sensor would work better.
I think a Aeon water sensor if the way to go, it is designed to be used either way detect water or lack of water… I would assume the batter should not drain like we are seeing.
I’m running this setup with a Utilitech Water Sensor and lost the wife approval after it going of at 3am on night and on and off for 30 minutes til I got up to pull the sensor. Did it again a few days later at 5am. Have push notifications turned of on app but it still blew up both our phones. UGH I wish the app had a time frame option for alerts.
Jealous…and now a reason to get a 3D printer. I could make brackets for the PEQ/SmartThings motion sensors to angle them down to the floor, since I dislike how they can’t easily be mounted up near the ceiling for good coverage.
It sounds like it might be possible to tweak that a little further to suppress the alarm if the “dry” signal clears back to “wet” within a couple of minutes (x minutes). True?
That would make it useful for knowing if a tank gets too empty despite mechanical automatic refilling which is supposed to maintain at least a certain amount of water. The delayed alarm would ensure the mechanical refill had enough time so the person wouldn’t be alarmed unnecessarily.
