Configure Sensors and Valve

Connect Your Sensors and Valves

The device configuration page helps you tell your LeakNet device which sensors and valves are physically connected using cables. This ensures your water usage is measured accurately and shuts off correctly.

The URL will look something like this: https://flowreporter.com/loggedin/register_key.php?mac=[unique device ID]

Here's how it works:

1. Give your device a name:  (e.g., "Main Water Meter", "Kitchen Sink")
2. Select your flow meter type: Choose from the list, depending on the size and type of meter you have installed.
   • 3/4" flow sensor
   • 1" flow sensor
   • 1.25" flow sensor
   • Ultrasonic meter
   • Existing standard water meter (pulse output)
3. Choose your valve type: This controls the water flow.
   • Motorised valve:
     • Standard (most common)
     • Failsafe closed (for specific installations)
     • Flanged (for specific installations)
     • Without feedback (if you have signal issues)
   • Solenoid valve:
     • Latched
     • Normally Open
     • Normally Closed
4. Attach Leak cable (optional):  If you have a LeakNet leak detection cable, tick this box.
5. Save your settings: Click "Save" to confirm your choices, or "Cancel" to discard them.

Need more sensors?

Your LeakNet device can support up to 4 sensors!  To add more sensors or for advanced configuration options, click 6. You'll be able to individually name each sensor for easy monitoring.

Important Note:

Changing your flow meter settings after you've started collecting data can affect the accuracy of your past water usage information.  Different flow meters measure water in different ways, so switching to a new type might lead to inaccuracies or data loss.
