housEvolve gives homeowners full remote control over their property’s environmental controls. In this video, see how housEvolve lets you detect the presence of water in a monitored area, as well as turn the water On or Off from anywhere in the world.
You Will Need
- The housEvolve main controller
- A housEvolve water presence detection module (comes with 3 sensors)
- A housEvolve water shut-off valve
Step 1
1. Turn off the water in your house.
Since mounting the housEvolve shut-off valve requires cutting into the water pipe, we strongly recommend professional installation for this procedure.
Step 2
Insert the housEvolve shut-off valve in the water intake system, downstream from the water main shut-off, making sure that the water flows through the valve in the direction indicated on the valve body.
Although the housEvolve water shut-off valve will operate in any position, we recommend mounting it with the solenoid pointing up. This will minimize the long-term impact of mineral deposits on valve operation.
Step 3
Connect the “In” port of the housEvolve Main Controller to one of your home’s wall phone jacks using the cable provided.
Step 4
Connect power to the housEvolve Main Controller using the included DC adapter
Step 5
Connect the housEvolve Water Presence Detector to the Main Controller Module using the network cable provided.
Step 6
Place the included water presence sensors at desired checkpoints in the monitored area. Connect the sensors to the Water Presence Detector (use any of the available 6 ports).
Step 7
Connect the water shut-off valve to the Water Presence Detector Module. (either port)
Step 8
Hardware setup is complete. Use the housEvovle Main Controller User Interface to add a system password and one or more alert reporting phone numbers.
Step 9
That’s it!. The housEvolve system will now call you to report the presence of water, or you can call your house at any time to turn the water On or Off.
