HomeSeer HS-LS100+ Z-Wave Leak Sensor
Overview
The HS-LS100+ is a compact, easy-to-install leak sensor. It is designed to control other Z-Wave devices directly or it may be used with a variety of Z-Wave certified home controllers to launch automation events or scenes.
Applications
- Use to activate Z-Wave devices such as sirens or water valve controllers when a leak is sensed.
- Use to trigger home automation events (aka "scenes", "automations", or "robots") when a leak is sensed.
Configuration
The HS-LS100+ is battery-powered and includes a Z-Wave network button, LED indicator, and a magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly. The unit may be deployed as a free-standing sensor (using built-in probes) or as a wired remote sensor (via the wall mount/wired probe assembly).
Z-Wave Network Installation
Remove the back cover by rotating counter-clockwise and install 1 ER14250 battery (included) inside the HS-LS100+. Include the sensor into your Z-Wave network using the instructions below. Then, replace the back cover.
Note: The HS-LS100+ may be included into your Z-Wave network as a "secure" device or as a "non-secure" device. Use the instructions below to include or exclude the HS-LS100+ to/from your Z-Wave network.
Secure Inclusion
(Recommended if your home controller supports "S0" or "S2" Z-Wave encryption)
- Put your home controller into Z-Wave 'inclusion' mode.
- Press and hold the Z-Wave network button for 5 seconds, then release it. Wait for the inclusion process to finish.
Non-Secure Inclusion
- Put your home controller into Z-Wave 'inclusion' mode.
- Quickly press and release the Z-Wave network button once. Wait for the inclusion process to finish.
Exclusion
- Put your home automation controller into Z-Wave 'exclusion' mode.
- Quickly triple-press the Z-Wave network button. Wait for the exclusion process to finish.
Reset
(Use this procedure to reset the HS-LS100+ to factory settings when the Z-Wave controller is missing or inoperable)
- Press and hold the Z-Wave button for 20 seconds. Release the button once the LED stops blinking and glows solidly.
Physical Installation
Free-standing installation
Simply place the leak sensor on a flat horizontal surface in the area where a leak might occur.
Remote installation
Install the included magnetic wall mount/wired probe assembly in the location of your choice (using the supplied mounting hardware) and attach the HS-LS100+ to it by aligning the 3 probes with the 3 holes in the mounting bracket. Position and install the wired probe in the area where a leak might occur or where you wish to detect liquid.
Sensor Operation
Leak Sensor Operation
The HS-LS100+ is designed to transmit a Z-Wave command when liquid is sensed. It will also transmit another command when liquid is no longer sensed.
Shock Sensor Operation
The shock sensor is designed to transmit a Z-Wave command when the HS-LS100+ has been physically moved. This sensor is especially helpful in determining whether the unit has been removed from its mount or tampered with.
Battery Sensor Operation
The battery sensor is designed to report battery level with a Z-Wave command every 43200 seconds (12 hours). If desired, HomeSeer users can adjust this interval (0-2678400 seconds) by accessing the settings on the Z-Wave tab of the root device.
Z-Wave Association Information
The HS-LS100+ supports Group 1 association. Group 1 reports the sensor's status and battery if running on batteries.
Notes
- If your home controller supports "S2" security encryption, the Leak Sensor may be added as a 'secure' device to your network. If not, it will add as a non-secure device. This will not affect the functionality of the unit.

Advanced Configuration
Accessible via the "Root device" in a HomeSeer System. Before adjusting these settings, tap the network button 4 times to wake the unit.
