Can the alarm be suppressed? I want to use a zwave light switch (connected to the water sensor) to remotely close the valve when away from home.

The only way to silence the audible alarm would be to press the mute button on the control box.

Not sure about hooking the zwave up but the alarm can be silenced by pressing the mute button.

you can use it with z-wave, not with zigbee. i use it with with a z-wave controller and it works very well. you don't need a security (alarm) system.

Hello, I'm sure you could set it up as an "automation" that would trigger the strobe alarm when water or a set temperature was reached. This device will send a text when water is detected or a set temperature is reached, either hot set point or cold set point. Hope this helps.

The sensor can't be turned off. Once set and the alarm is turned on, if the two pieces are moved away from each other the alarm will sound.If an attempt is made to open the sensor it would be moved away from its counterpart which would fire the alarm.As a side note, we use ours for a sleep walking child who has left the house and it works perfectly.

Can this thing work as a silent alarm? I want to use it so that I know if someone is walking through the hallway outside my office, but I want it to be silent on that transmitting end and be notified by the remote. Does anyone know of a product like that which I can use that is discreet and won't scare the crap out of my co-workers?

Yes. I removed siren connected to panel and added wireless at different location so I could hide panel. I use the remotes to arm and disarm so no need for panel to be in sight.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

The water siren can indeed be connected as I have done so; I also have a second water alarm independently wired although I think you could splice them together if desired; I am not sure about the motion detector

There is no alarm. When you lose power to your home, the back up battery starts to work, thats it. You would only need an alarm if the back up didn't work and for that you can purchase a water alarm that senses an overflow of water. These alarms are very inexpensive and are sold separately. There is no problem with your pump, its the best pump you can buy.

Honestly I didn't know that was an option. I really don't think there is one. I am currently at work and will try to remember to look when I get home. I assumed the alarm was preset and/or just went off when levels exceeded above normal levels.

Yes it can be. That said, it's not designed for your application. It requires constant water flow and will stay in alarm and turned off if it doesn't detect it. I'm sure you can defeat the safety interlocks but at what risk? Trust me, a submerged arm in water with a cracked heating element tube isn't fun or funny at all!

I would think that you could wire both floats into a single control so that either would set off the alarm but i have not tried it. Good luck.

There is a wire from the alarm itself that goes to a probe that can be placed in things like a sump pump but I do not use that; that wire comes with the alarm. I set the alarm on the floor where I am at risk and then hook up my own phone line from the alarm to the wall jack so it will call me if water is detected. phone wire is not supplied but I have tested the process and it works well so I am confident that I will know if a problem develops

Yes. On the left side there is a slider 3way switch: OFF, LOW and HI (sensitivity). When the unit alarms, it shuts itself off in about a minute however. I always set mine on HI sensitivity and it works just fine.

UPDATE:Craig, While I have not yet installed the Water Siren, I see no provision in the manual for disabling the 90db audible alarm. As Michael suggests, you could use duct tape, or you could stuff an old bucket with rags and invert it onto the Water Siren. From the manual, you could call Control Products Customer Service at 1-800-880-6000 and see if they have better advice or a product that better meets your needs. / Pete

There is no audible alarm. I tested it in a small puddle of water. It only communicates through the Z wave/(Nexia App or web site) and sends you an alert if you have selected the alert function.

I don't know Vera but if its like any Z-Wave controller (I have HomeSeer) you can create an event or manually turn the outlet on & off. For any typical device I would put about a 1 or 2 second delay in the toggle that the device fully shuts down.
