3.2 Mounting the Float Switch

The float switch is designed for pendant mounting. It can be suspended at the desired water level to detect rising or falling water.

• Identify the area where water level monitoring is required (e.g., sump pump pit, basement floor, under a sink).
• Securely suspend the float switch using its cable at the specific height where water detection is needed. Ensure the float can move freely.
• The 6-foot cable allows for flexible placement within a 6-foot radius from its connection point.

3.3 Battery installasie

The device is battery-powered and uses Alkaline batteries. Refer to the device's battery compartment for specific battery type and installation instructions. Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.

4. Operasie

The YoLink Float Switch operates as a contact sensor. When the float detects a change in water level, it triggers an alert.

• Wateropsporing: The float mechanism rises or falls with the water level. When it reaches a predefined position (typically indicating high water), the sensor activates.
• Waarskuwings: Upon activation, the sensor sends a signal to your YoLink Hub. The Hub then relays this information to your YoLink app, triggering notifications (e.g., push notifications, emails, SMS, depending on your app settings).
• Beheer metode: The sensor itself is controlled via touch for basic functions like pairing or resetting, as indicated by its specifications. All monitoring and alert configurations are managed through the YoLink app.
• YoLink Ecosystem Integration: This sensor can be integrated with other YoLink devices and accessories. For example, a water level alert could trigger a YoLink valve to shut off water supply (if a YoLink valve controller is installed).

5. Onderhoud

5.1 Batteryvervanging

The float switch is powered by Alkaline batteries. When the battery level is low, you will receive a notification via the YoLink app. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Refer to the device for specific battery type and replacement instructions.

5.2 Skoonmaak

Periodically inspect the float switch for any debris or buildup that might hinder its movement. Clean the device gently with a soft, damp lap. Moenie harde chemikalieë of skuurmateriaal gebruik nie.

6. Probleemoplossing

• Toestel reageer nie:
  • Check battery level in the YoLink app. Replace batteries if low.
  • Ensure the device is within range of your YoLink Hub. YoLink devices use LoRa technology for extended range, but extreme distances or obstructions can affect connectivity.
  • Verify your YoLink Hub is online and functioning correctly.
  • Attempt to re-pair the device with the YoLink Hub if connectivity issues persist.
• No Alerts Received:
  • Confirm that notification settings are correctly configured in the YoLink app for the specific device.
  • Test the float switch manually by simulating a water level change to ensure it triggers.
  • Check your phone's notification settings to ensure the YoLink app is permitted to send alerts.
• Inaccurate Water Level Detection:
  • Inspect the float mechanism for any obstructions or debris that might prevent free movement.
  • Ensure the float switch is mounted correctly and securely at the desired detection level.
• Offline Functionality (D2D):

  YoLink devices support Device-to-Device (D2D) control, meaning essential actions like leak-to-shutoff can still function even without internet or power to the Hub, provided the devices are within range of each other and configured for D2D. However, app notifications require the Hub to be online and connected to the internet.
