After living in my house for two years and having pre-wired for water alarms, I finally got around to installing them. I have the gri 2800 units.
Now, of course, the first time the cleaning people came they set it off. Turns out they spilled a bucket of water in the master bath and the water went under the cabinet facing on the tub deck and got the sensor under the bath tub. The alarm went off and every time my wife reset it, it of course re-alarmed. That tub deck facing requires a special tool to remove the panels and get under the tub, which my wife couldn't do. I wasn't available at the time (at work), so this went on for an hour before I could log on remotely and bypass the zone.
Question is, how would you handle this?
What I have done for starters, is create a task on my elk that bypasses all of the water zones. How are other people managing this situation?
The 2800 is a normally open contactor that shorts when it gets wet. It is not powered, it just has the two leads that hook to a zone. And they do work quite well!
