QuestionI notice when I check the status on this device from the Smarthings app it says "battery at 86%". Question is, How do you recharge it? Or when its gets to 0%, do you just have to buy a new one?
Asked 6 years ago by John.
- Answer You can buy replaceable batteries for this unit. You can see the battery status in Smartthings.

QuestionCouple questions: 1. Can this be paired up with ONLY the ADT Security Hub ? 2. Can someone that already has this working screenshot the data it shows ? (I'd like to add it on as a temp sensor in my bsmt to send alert if its getting to cold)
Asked 6 years ago by tmoney20g.
- Answer I'm using this sensor with the plain smartthings hub, not the ADT one. You can set it to send alerts when a certain temp is reached.

QuestionHow can I make the Water Leak Sensor sound off an audible alarm in addition to providing me an alert on my phone?
Asked 6 years ago by Boshop.
- Answer If you are using SmartThings, when you are setting up your leak settings in the smart home monitor (classic app), click on “alert with siren” and check the box next to the siren you have. If you don’t have one, any z-wave siren will need to be added into the hub prior to linking the sensors.

QuestionCan you set a temperature limit and get an alert on your phone? I’m primarily looking to remotely monitor temperature to avoid frozen pipes but also have use for the water sensing function.
Asked 6 years ago by Jessica.
- Answer Hello! You can absolutely create a temperature notification within the SmartThings App using the Water Leak Sensor in a custom automation. You select the temperature threshold, as well as the message that is sent if the threshold is hit. If you have a compatible audio device connected to the system, you can also program an audio notification. Thank you! ~Samsung Brand Ambassador

Asked 5 years ago by TommyBoy.

QuestionDoes it work with Ring alarm system?
Asked 6 years ago by Doug.
- Answer I have both the Ring Alarm and SmartThings Hub and I have to believe that if you bought a SmartThings Water Sensor for your Ring alarm that it would work since they both use Zigbee as well as Z-Wave; however, I don't think that you will get all of the functionality as you would if you got a Water Sensor directly from Ring (using their brand).
