Features

• High Sensitivity
  The water detector features a highly sensitive detection system with multiple probes. It has two probes on the back to detect water that accumulates at the bottom, and one probe at the front to detect droplets from leaking pipes or faucets. This allows for immediate detection of water or even the slightest moisture, emitting a loud 90 dB alarm to promptly alert you, helping to prevent water waste or potential flooding. It’s particularly useful in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, or any other spaces prone to water leakage.

• Wireless Alert System
  This kit includes a 120dB WiFi loud alarm host, capable of delivering real- time alerts to your smartphone or central alarm system through a wireless connection. Even when you’re not physically nearby, the high-volume alarm ensures you are alerted timely within a range of approximately 300 ft (90m) in an open area.

• Easy Installation
  The installation process is straightforward and doesn’t require professional assistance. The WiFi alarm host and wireless water leakage sensors come pre- paired for easy setup. Just link the WiFi loud alarm host to the “Tuya Smart” App after installing it, and your system is ready to go.

• Durable Design
  The CGW-1514 Water Detector Kit is designed to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability in detecting water leakage around the clock.

• Smart Monitoring
  Through the integration of 2.4 GHz WiFi and the “Tuya Smart” App, this system allows for remote monitoring and control. You can receive real-time alarm notifications, monitor the status of the water leakage detector, and stop flooding promptly. This smart functionality supports up to 50 remote controls and 50 sensors, offering a comprehensive and expandable alarm system.

• Remote Monitoring
  The “Tuya Smart” App enhances the capability of the system by enabling mobile phone alarms and real-time notifications via WiFi connection. This means you can monitor the situation at any time and receive timely alerts, ensuring peace of mind.

• Zone Mode and Type Selection
  The system provides flexibility in emergency preparedness with zone mode and type selection features. It’s recommended to set emergency devices such as water sensors to a “24 Hours” zone mode, which triggers the WiFi loud alarm host whenever water is detected, regardless of the operational state of the system. This feature is critical for ensuring all-around safety and responsiveness.

• Extended Alarm System
  The WiFi loud alarm host can support up to 50 remote controls and 50 wireless detectors, operating at a wireless frequency of 433 MHz. This allows for easy and rapid expansion of your security system, incorporating devices such as motion sensors, door sensors, and remote controls, thereby enhancing the overall security and functionality of your premises.

APP Sensor

1. Access the Main Interface : Once the WiFi Alarm Host is successfully added on the Tuya Smart App, you’ll see the main interface which displays options like “Away arm” indicating that the sensors are monitored when no one is home. You can also see logs, trigger alarms, and access settings from this screen. To add a new accessory like a water sensor, tap on “Accessories.”
2. Add New Accessory : In the “Accessories” tab, which initially shows no added accessories, you need to tap the “+” sign to add a new accessory like a water sensor to the system.
3. Activate Learning Mode : Clicking the “+” in the accessories section of the WiFi Alarm Host on the app prompts the alarm system to enter the learning mode. This is visually represented by a circle filling up, indicating progress as the system prepares to detect and add a new sensor.
4. Pairing the Sensor : To add the water leak detector, press the [Test Button] on the detector itself. This triggers the detector, and once recognized by the system, it will be added as shown in the accessories list on the app. The type of detector and its mode (e.g., “Detector 0”, “Type: Door contact”, “Mode: Normal”) will be displayed.

Usage

1. Installation Location : Choose strategic locations prone to water exposure or leakage, such as near washing machines, dishwashers, sinks, water heaters, and in basements or under pipes. It’s crucial to place sensors in low areas where water might accumulate first.
2. Setting Up the Device : Install the batteries in the water sensor and place it at the desired location. Ensure that the sensor’s probes are in contact with the floor or close to potential water sources.
3. Connecting to the App : Download and set up the “Tuya Smart” App on your smartphone. Connect the WiFi alarm host to your home WiFi network following the instructions provided in the app to ensure the system is online and ready to alert you.
4. Testing the System : Test the system by simulating a water leak (you can use a damp cloth) to ensure the sensor and the alarm host are functioning correctly and that you are receiving notifications on your phone.
5. Regular Monitoring : Regularly check the app for any alerts or logs of water detection. Adjust settings and manage other connected devices through the app for comprehensive coverage.

Care and Maintenance

1. Battery Maintenance : Regularly check and replace the batteries in the water sensors. If the battery level is low, the device may not function properly. The device uses 6 AAA alkaline batteries, which are included but will need to be replaced periodically.
2. Cleaning the Sensors : Keep the water sensors clean by wiping them with a dry cloth. Avoid using wet cloths or chemical cleaners as this might damage the sensors.
3. Sensor Testing : Test the water sensors monthly by pressing the test button on the sensor. This ensures they are operational and can effectively detect water leaks.
4. App Updates and Settings : Keep the “Tuya Smart” app updated to the latest version to ensure you have access to new features and improved security. Regularly review and adjust the app settings as needed to maintain optimal performance and responsiveness.
5. Avoid Physical Damage : Place the sensors in locations where they will not be stepped on or knocked over. Physical damage can impair their ability to detect water accurately.
6. Environmental Considerations : While the device is designed to be durable, it’s best to avoid placing it in areas where extreme temperatures or humidity could affect its performance. Ensure the sensor is not exposed directly to sunlight or other heat sources.
