Leakage sensor

Updated: 2 Nov 2024
Description

The Leakage Sensors feature in the Smart PIERRE app allows users to manage and customize the sensor settings with ease. Users can edit the Leakage sensor from both the Dashboard and the I/O list from the Menu.

Key benefits of the Leakage sensor include:

  1. Status Visibility:
  • The status of the Leakage sensor is displayed directly on the Dashboard with a green dot for Active and a gray dot for Not Active status.

  2. Long Press for Advanced Options:

  • A long press on the sensor icon provides access to the Edit and Used In tabs for further customization. The Edit tab enables users to update the name and picture of the sensor, while the Used In tab shows the list of automations where the sensor is integrated.

    3. Automation Integration:

  • Leakage sensors can be easily included in custom automations. For example, you can automate a Kitchen valve to open only when the Leakage sensor is Not Active, ensuring that water flow is securely managed.

The Leakage Sensors feature ensures smooth integration with the PIERRE smart home system, allowing for seamless automation and customization. This system offers a proactive solution for managing potential water leaks, making it an essential part of any smart home setup.
