Water Leakage Detector

by saghon

This instruction will show how a battery powered water leakage detector can be build and integrated in eg. FHEM home
automation solution.
The solution is based on SHRDZM device sensor platform to support multiple di erent sensor integration with low
power consumption.

Step 1: What Is Needed

Water Leakage Detector: Page 1

There are several types of integrations for a SHRDZM device possible.
This instruction shows the Integration Style I. With this Integration Style, the gateway is directly connected via USB. For
other styles of integration, please visit the SHRDZM Wiki. Instead of the Wemos D1 mini, each other type of ESP8266
based module can be used. (eg. NodeMCU)

Step 2: Flashing Firmware

For initial ashing of the rmware onto the sensor device, you need a CP2102 USB to UART adapter.

Step 5: Integration Into FHEM Home Automation Solution

SHRDZM supports di erent types of integration methods.

Take that one which ts best to your requirements.
For this instructable, running installation of FHEM has to be available.
How to install FHEM on the Raspberry Pi can be found here.
If FHEM is available, follow the instructions for activating the SHRDZM Gateway. Since a SHRDZM Gateway can support
multiple SHRDZM Sensor devices, it is necessary to pair the Sensor Device so that it communicates with the correct
gateway. For pairing, follow this instruction.
