Review on πŸšͺ Insteon Wireless Open/Close Sensor for Doors & Windows, 2843-222 - Include Insteon Hub for Smarthphone Alerts! by Frank Harwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. Highly recommended.

They are easy to use and work great. I've installed them all over the house under sinks, behind toilets, under the kettle, in front of the dishwasher, fridge and washing machine. I tested each one individually with some water and they all worked great. Advantages: β€’ Easy to install. Just put it on the ground where water can leak out. β€’ I receive a notification on my phone within seconds of a leak being detected. β€’ I have 18 of these and they all work perfectly. β€’ Insteon claims that the batteries should last a long time. approx. 10 years β€’ The range is decent. I connected everything but one. It was then later successfully connected when I added an Insteon dual band dimmer switch which extended the signal into the basement. double-sided tape. Otherwise your pets will knock them over and they won't work. It would be great if Insteon would remove this limitation. β€’ These sensors will NOT work with the Insteon Pro Hub. Make sure you buy a non-professional hub if you want to use these sensors. In general I am very happy with them. Next I plan to install a valve on the main water inlet that can be controlled with the Insteon Hub. This allows the water to be turned off throughout the house if a leak is detected.

Pros
  • tools and housewares
Cons
  • boring packaging
