Essential Info
I/O Linc - INSTEON Rain Sensor Kit enhances your INSTEON network by alerting you in the event of excess liquid (rain and/or water) build-up. The rain sensor is designed for indoor or outdoor use in and around your home. The kit is great for monitoring rainfall and/or moisture levels in sensitive areas such as green houses, flower beds or lawns. Using the included mounting bracket and mounting hardware, the rain sensor can be placed anywhere where you would like to detect the accumulation of water. If you are using I/O Linc - INSTEON Low Voltage / Contact Closure Interface (4-Pack) to electronically control sprinklers via your INSTEON network, this rain sensor kit can trigger the sprinklers to automatically shut-off when it rains, saving water and money. Alternatively, it can be placed near the foundation of your home to help detect detrimental standing water and flooding; as soon as the accumulation of water starts, the rain sensor will trigger I/O Linc to turn any INSTEON controlled lights or appliances on or off, alerting you of the condition. Conserve water by having your sprinklers turn off automatically when it rains or stop catastrophic and expensive water damage as soon as it starts with I/O Linc - INSTEON Rain Sensor Kit; an easy-to-use solution for adding convenience and awareness to any INSTEON-controlled home.

How It Works
The rain sensor monitors the build-up of liquid (rain, water, etc.). When 5mm or more of liquid has been detected, the sensor triggers the included I/O Linc - INSTEON Low Voltage / Contact Closure Interface (1 In / 1 Out) to send an INSTEON signal. Simply link I/O Linc to a remote INSTEON device which can act as an alert for leaks. For example, you can have a KeypadLinc LED light up, have all the lights in your house flash, or activate a custom event in HouseLinc 2 - INSTEON Desktop Software to notify you of the concern.

Please Note: The Rain sensor is water proof and can be located outdoors in direct weather, however the I/O Linc is not water resistant and must be located indoors.

Disclaimer
I/O Linc - INSTEON Rain Sensor Kit works to help notify you of water accumulation but should only be considered as a loss mitigating, risk reducing device. The rain sensor does an outstanding job of triggering I/O Linc to send out INSTEON commands that can alert you in the event water buildup occurs where the sensor is located. This notification will help reduce water damage but can not guarantee that there will be no water damage. Smarthome is not responsible for any damage from proper or improper functioning of the device(s).

Receive Telephone Notification
Enhance I/O Linc - INSTEON Rain Sensor Kit and your INSTEON network by adding an I/O Linc - INSTEON Telephone Alert Kit. The Telephone Alert Kit incorporates a phone dialer along with an I/O Linc to immediately notify you and/or neighbors and loved ones via telephone and/or cell phone in the event of a water leak or excess water build accumulation. By linking these kits together you can trigger a phone call to be placed to stop catastrophic and expensive water damage as soon as it starts. The phone dialer uses your existing phone line to dial out and requires no monthly monitoring or service fee to operate. Now whether you are at the office, at the store, or on vacation, you can be immediately notified when there is a concern.
