UPWarning! When Alloy Leak Sensor+ is turned ON, it remains ON until manually included or included through SmartStart, and properly mounted (battery drain).
1.3. INCLUSION/ADDING
Set the Alloy Leak Sensor+ in inclusion/adding mode.
Hold the inclusion/add button for 3 seconds, and the white LED will turn on for 1 second. After that, release the button, wait 3-5 seconds, and he inclusion/adding will start. During inclusion/adding the Alloy Leak Sensor+ will keep flashing blue. When the  inclusion/adding process is complete, green light will flash 5 times in quick success.
SMARTSTART
This device supports SmartStart. The QR code can be found on the Alloy Leak Sensor+, below the lid and on the packaging.
The device will enter SmartStar t if the device is not included in the network after power up. And if the device is not included successfully during 10 seconds, it will enter sleep mode. And then

  • 2nd SmartStart time delay approximately 16s
  • 3rd SmartStart time delay approximately 32s

Alloy Leak Sensor+ can be identified using the Indicator Command Class with the Indicator ID 0x50. Alloy Leak Sensor+ will flash green 5 times when identified.
1.8. WAKE-UP
Press the inclusion button once to manually wake-up the device. It will flash yellow for 1 second.
1.9. TAMPER
Alloy Leak Sensor+ will stay awake as long as it’s not mounted, i.e., until the tamper button isn’t pressed. It will beep 5 times every 2 minutes to indicate incorrect installation. When correctly installed, the Alloy Leak Sensor+ will beep once. When the sensor is removed from its mount, it’ll beep 5 times. In both cases, a respective tamper notification will be sent on Z-Wave®. Leak detection is not functional in tamper state.

First 4 parametres combined define the flood warning alarm behavior like this:ALLOY Smart Home Leak Sensor - warning alarm ASSOCIATIONS
Alloy Leak Sensor+ supports 2 association groups, and each group supports the max of 1 associate node.
Group 1 is a Lifeline Group; all nodes which are associated in this group will receive the messages sent by the Alloy Leak Sensor+ through Lifeline.
Group 2 is a controlling group. All nodes associated in this group will be controlled through the BASIC_SET command by the Alloy Leak Sensor+ when it detects a water leakage event. The Command Class, supported by each association group, is shown in the table below:

EVENT TAMPERING_PRODUCT_MOVED (0x09) STATE_IDLE (0x00)

WAKE UP COMMAND CLASS
Alloy Leak Sensor+ stays in sleep state for the majority of time in order to conserve battery life. The minimum wakeup interval is 20 sec. The maximum wakeup interval is 86400 sec (24 Hours). Allowable min step among each wake-up interval is 60 seconds, such as 1860 sec, 1920 sec,1980 sec…
NOTE
The default value is 1 hour with factory default. Higher value means longer battery life. Alloy Leak Sensor+ won’t go in sleep state until: included, mounted on a wall plate, and in flood.

BATTERY COMMAND CLASS
The users can also inquire about the battery status of the Alloy Leak Sensor+ by sending the BATTERY GET command. Once the Alloy Leak Sensor+ receives the command, it will return the BATTERY REPORT command. The Alloy Leak Sensor+ will send BATTERY REPORT = 0xFF command to the Z-Wave® Controller to inform that the Alloy Leak Sensor+ is in dead battery status, the otherwise BATTERY REPORT value range is from 0% to 100%. When the Alloy Leak Sensor+ is powered on, the LED will flash twice, indicating the battery level:
Green – 3V, Blue – 3V – 2.8V, Red – 2.7V – dead battery
