Aeon Labs Water Sensor 6
Engineering Specifications and Advanced Functions for Developers
Aeon Labs Water Sensor 6 is a binary sensor device based on Z-Wave enhanced 232 slave library
o V6.51.09.
The Water Sensor 6 contains 2 Sensor ports, which allow you to connect 2 water probes on the
Main Sensor unit to detect the presence and absence o water or detect whether there is the water
leak in some places o your home.
It can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certi ied devices rom
other manu acturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network
will act as repeaters regardless o vendor to increase reliability o the network.
The Water Sensor 6 is a security Z-Wave plus device, so a security enabled controller is needed or
take ull advantage o all unctionally or the Sensor. It also supports the Over The Air (OTA) eature
or the product’s irmware upgrade.
As soon as Water Sensor 6 is removed rom a Z-Wave network, it will be restored into de ault
actory setting.

_ 1
0xC9 (201) Temperature calibration (the available value range is [-128,127] or [-
12.8 , ℃ 12.7 ]). ℃
Note:
1. High byte is the calibration value. Low byte is the unit
(0x00=Celsius, 0x01=Fahrenheit)
2. The calibration value (high byte) contains one decimal point. E.g.
i the value is set to 20 (0x1400), the calibration value is 2.0 ℃
(EU/AU version) or i the value is set to 20 (0x1401), the calibration
value is 2.0 ℉ (US version)
3. The calibration value (high byte) = standard value - measure
value.
E.g. I measure value =25.3 ℃ and the standard value = 23.2 ℃ , so
the calibration value= 23.2 ℃ - 25.3 ℃ = -2.1 ℃ (0xEB).
I the measure value =30.1 ℃ and the standard value = 33.2 ℃ , so the
calibration value= 33.2 ℃ - 30.1 ℃ =3.1 ℃ (0x1F).
US version: 0x0001.
