      Does anyone know of a wireless water sensor that can still be used with the m1?  My usual go-to water sensor from Interlogix 60-744-95r is no longer available and the other one that I knew of from Interlogix was the TX-E611, which is also no longer available.

      I was also looking at the ELK-6021 Window sensor, and I’m thinking of removing the reed switch and just soldering wires to the board that would then connect to a water probe and use that.  Any thoughts?

        If using the M1XRFEG or M1XRF319 Wireless Receivers you can use the ELK 319DG  All Weather Door / Gate and hardwire an eternal contact. If using the M1XFFTWM then use the ELK 6022 Universal 3-Zone and hard wire a contact

          Thanks Brad.  I’m using the FTWM, so just got the 6022 and wired LP1 to a normally open water contact sensor.  Issue is that without any water contact, the zone is naturally in a violated state.  Is there a way to configure a wireless zone so that normally open is NOT violated?

              Thanks!  I Did not know that that I could reverse a wireless sensor like that.  My new water sensor is a combination of the 6022 and a water sensor from here: Floor Water Leak Sensor – Level Sense (by Sump Alarm Inc.) (level-sense.com)

                This post is an oldie…

                 

                Looking at deploying more 6022 sensors, for water detection, and sensor will normally be in an open state, and tried to check off on Option 2 in the wireless setup section to flip status to Normal when open.  When I view Status in the RP software, this zone shows as Violated.  Any way to have this show as normal when circuit is open and Violated when circuit is closed?

                  Ignore my previous message.  After enabling option 2, it took maybe 30 mins or so before the devices flipped from Violated to Normal.

                    The wireless 6022 will work with that water sensor for sure?  I just want to make sure before I start ordering a bunch of these.

                      Michael, Yes the 6022 with a contact such as this (Floor Water Sensor for Flood and Leak Detection (6 ft) – Amazon.com) is working for me to detect water leaks.  All you need to do is drill a small hole in the case for the sensor and connect and program as mentioned above and your all set.

                        The Honeywell 5821 is actually designed for this. Also, the Ecolink WST-612, which has the probes and a freeze sensor built in.

                          Except that they are not on the Elk 2-way wireless system – those sensors require a different receiver such as the Elk M1XRF2H or the M1XRF319 set to 345 mhz mode.
