Is there a way to configure the high-water sensor to instead detect low water? Such as by having it trip the alarm if it floats too low? (with or without external parts)

I don't know but I can tell you that my outdoor sensor has never worked. I have tried everything but I have yet to see a near accurate outdoor temperature appear on the alarm clock.

Hangs straight down when water level rises switch floats onto it's side . Alarm goes off.

There is an anchor rod that fits into a hole drilled into your deck. Ideally the hole is 3 inches from the edge. At two inches you will have about an inch between the side of the pool and the alarm but this should still work.About half of the vertical arm needs to be under water for the alarm to function properly. This translates to about 4 inches from the top of your deck to the water level. Hope this helps!

Yes, we have had the exact same problem. I'm guessing this relates to a problem with the water sensor or the electrical connection between sensor and indicator light.

Lois, it will be a few days before I get out to the cabin to check. Look for an update on Wednesday evening Jan 8 or Thursday. / P Hi Lois, The WS-04 (which I just looked at) has a sensor unit that--as shipped--is snapped into the bottom base of the unit, right next to the 9V battery compartment. In this configuration, the unit can simply be placed on the floor. The sensor unit can also be un-clipped from the unit for placement wherever you would like to put it. The sensor is connected (soldered) to the siren circuit board by an INCLUDED COILED-UP WIRE, which--according to information on the package--is 6 feet long. As shipped, that wire is tucked into the unit and out of sight. If you also want to connect the Water Siren to an external dial-out device you will need to supply your own 2-conductor 26-18 AWG wire. / Pete

Hello, I'm sure you could set it up as an "automation" that would trigger the strobe alarm when water or a set temperature was reached. This device will send a text when water is detected or a set temperature is reached, either hot set point or cold set point. Hope this helps.

Yes, you could mount the sensor so that when the water rises to that level, the sensor would sound and you could respond before the water overflowed.

There are two reasons you might be having this issue. Please make sure you are using Tap or Mineral water only, as this is the only way the water sensor can detect water for it to diffuse it.Also-please make sure you are using water soluble oil aroma oil only.

It can be set up as a low water alarm, but the remote alarm application would require a modification not intended by the manufacturer...which doesn't make it impossible, but you'll have to do it yourself, and potentially void any warranty.

I bought this as a gift as I received a similar one as one. For mine, the outside sensor should be sheltered from direct sunlight as you want the temperature to reflect "in the shade." How you could do this without "getting rained on" is beyond me. Mine is under an eve. If you have no eve access, I suggest you improvise a simple one. make sure there's enough circulation room as to not trap heat and damage the sensor or at least cause it to give invalid readings. Good luck...

There is a "trick to this"... the sonar unit only looks down, in a small angle cone - so by the time you got the alarm you would be on top of the thing you are trying to avoid. Be aware of this. Some units have a 'forward looking' sonar unit, and this would tell you if you are about to run into something under the water.

I would think that you could wire both floats into a single control so that either would set off the alarm but i have not tried it. Good luck.

The ad plainly says "In the event of a flood, unit will float and continue to sound alarm until battery is depleted !" I would think it might NOT be waterproof on top because that's where the speaker is. It is obviously waterproof enough on the bottom or it would not float. BTW: Watch the video. The beeps are morse code for "SOS". Cute ! :)

No rain sensor. It's for "future application" which may or not happen. I'd suspect that there is a "rain sensor" on the WWW that would/could work, but why bother? Turn the thing off when it rains.

Did you try pressing the "-" icon on top? You may need to do it a few times. Other than that you may be right that the sensor is the problem. Contact the company if the problem continues.

Yes. The sensitivity on it is adjustable so just start with it at a very low sensitivity. You're going to get a lot of false alarms when it rains or the wind blows but give it a quarter turn when that happens to lower the sensitivity until the false alarms stop. It might take a week or two to get it right.
