How to connect the ValveSentry to Insteon/Smarthome

How it Works

The Insteon® Leak Sensors above senses a water leak and transmit a radio

frequence (RF) signal to the Insteon Range Extender. The Insteon Range Detector

repeats this water sense signal over the power line to the SmartHome™ I/O

Link™. The Insteon SmartHome Linc closes its relay which triggers the ValveSentry

using wires connected between the N/O and Com connections on the I/O Linc and

the Sensor connections on the ValveSentry.

Programming

1) The Insteon Leak detectors must be linked to the SmartHome I/O Linc.

2) There is no programing required for the Insteon Range Extender because it

simple mirrors the RF signal to the I/O Linc using the homes power lines.

3) It may be necessary to program the I/O Linc for optimum performance.

I. Programming each Insteon Leak Detector Referring to the Leak Sensor’s Owners Manual from Insteon, follow the directions to “Make Leak Sensor a Controller”. You can repeat these directions for each Leak Detector. Note: Referring to the figure “Basic Insteon Link”. For the configuration that you want, the Insteon leak detector is the “Controller and the SmartHome I/O Linc is the Responder. Instruction number 3 “Adjust the Responder to the desired brightness/state can be confusing.

I/O Linc Owners manual, either 1) using the instructions “Setting the I/O Linc Output Relay Mode” or 2) “Resetting the I/O Linc to its Factory Default Settings” II. Programming the SmartHome I/O Linc. This can get a little more complicated. The I/O linc contains two main functions. First it can be used to interface a sensor, which could be a simple as a switch, to other devices such as the ValveSentry. For the application we are working on there is no need to use the sensor capabilities of the I/O Linc.

can set the relay close time to five seconds using the section “Setting the I/O Link Momentary Duration” in the I/O Linc’s owners manual. Expansion and Options We tested the SmartHome system using two Leak Detectors, a single Range Extender and an I/O Linc. Based upon our understanding of the Insteon/SmartHome system there is no limit to the number of Leak Detectors and Range Extenders. Thus the ValveSentry can be used in many applications.
