HomeSeer HS-LS100+ Z-Wave Leak Sensor — Manual

Manual for the HomeSeer HS-LS100+ Z-Wave Leak Sensor — a compact, battery-powered leak/shock sensor with magnetic wall mount and wired probe assembly options.

Overview

HS-LS100+ is a compact, easy-to-install leak sensor designed to control other Z-Wave devices directly, or to work with a variety of Z-Wave certified home controllers to launch automation events or scenes.

Applications

• Activate Z-Wave devices such as sirens or water valve controllers when a leak is sensed.
• Trigger home automation events ("scenes"/"automations"/"robots") when a leak is sensed.

Configuration

HS-LS100+ is battery powered and includes a Z-Wave network button, LED indicator, and a magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly. It may be deployed as a free-standing sensor (using built-in probes) or as a wired remote sensor (via the wall mount/wired probe assembly).

Z-Wave Network Installation

Remove the back cover by rotating counter-clockwise and install 1 ER14250 battery (included). Include the sensor into your Z-Wave network using the steps below, then replace the back cover.

HS-LS100+ may be included as a "secure" or "non-secure" device.

• Secure Inclusion (recommended if your controller supports S0/S2 encryption): Put the controller into Z-Wave inclusion mode, then press and hold the Z-Wave network button for 5 seconds and release. Wait for inclusion to finish.
• Non-Secure Inclusion: Put the controller into inclusion mode, then quickly press and release the network button once.
• Exclusion: Put the controller into exclusion mode, then quickly triple-press the network button.
• Factory Reset (if the controller is missing/inoperable): Press and hold the button for 20 seconds; release once the LED stops blinking and glows solidly.

Physical Installation

• Free-standing: Place the leak sensor on a flat horizontal surface where a leak might occur.
• Remote installation: Install the included magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly using the supplied mounting hardware, then attach the HS-LS100+ by aligning its 3 probes with the 3 holes in the mounting bracket. Position/install the wired probe where a leak might occur or where you wish to detect liquid.

Sensor Operation

• Leak sensor: Transmits a Z-Wave command when liquid is sensed, and another command when liquid is no longer sensed.
• Shock sensor: Transmits a Z-Wave command when the unit is physically moved — useful for detecting removal/tampering.
• Battery sensor: Reports battery level via Z-Wave every 43,200 seconds (12 hours) by default; interval adjustable (0–2,678,400 sec) via the Z-Wave tab of the root device in HomeSeer.

HS-LS100+ supports Group 1 association, which reports the sensor's status and battery level (if running on batteries).

Advanced Configuration Parameters

Accessible via the "Root device" in a HomeSeer System. Before adjusting these settings, tap the network button 4 times to wake the unit.

Note: Parameters 18 (Enable Shock Sensor) and 19 (Temperature Report Interval) are disabled by default to conserve battery life.
