Multi Sensor HS-FS100+
Applicaons
Use to trigger events based on changes in temperature
Use the built-in buzzer as an audible nocaon that triggers when things happen in your home
Use with oponal light sensor to trigger events when indicator lights on appliances turn on or o
Example: “Dehumidier is full” indicator turns on
Use with oponal water sensor to trigger events when water is detected near basement walls, plumbing xtures or appliances
Conguraon
Flex Sensor is equipped with a Z-Wave network buon (for inclusion/exclusion), LED indicator and micro USB connector for use with an AC
power adapter (not included). A 3.5mm jack is also provided for connecon to the oponal wired light or water sensors. Z-Wave commands
are used to transmit temperature, light and water detecon data and to control the built-in buzzer.
Physical Installaon
Install 3 AAA baeries (not included) inside Flex Sensor and mount it in the locaon of your choice using the supplied double-sck tape,
mounng plate and mounng hardware.
Z-Wave Network Installaon
Use the instrucons below to include or exclude Flex Sensor to/from your Z-Wave network.
Inclusion
1)Aach light or water sensor cable (if available). Put your home automaon controller into Z-Wave ‘inclusion’ mode.
2)Press the Z-Wave network buon on the front of the unit one me. Wait for the inclusion process to nish. This may take some me.
Exclusion
1. Put your home automaon controller into Z-Wave ‘exclusion’ mode.
2. Press the Z-Wave network buon on the front of the unit one me. Wait for the inclusion process to nish. This may take some me.
Reset (Use this procedure to reset Flex Sensor to factory sengs when the Z-Wave controller is missing or otherwise inoperable).
1. Press and hold the Z-Wave buon inside the sensor body for 10 seconds. If successful, the LED will ash 5 mes.
Built-in Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is designed to transmit temperature data to your controller using Z-Wave commands every 60 minutes (on baery
power). That interval may be changed when the unit is line powered. See parameter sengs on page 2 for details.
Oponal Light Sensor
The light sensor can be mounted over any indicator light and will nofy your controller with a Z-Wave command and will beep 5 mes
when light is detected. Another Z-Wave command will be sent to the controller when light is no longer detected. This sensor will check for
light every 60 seconds (on baery power) or every 400 ms (on line power).
Oponal Water Sensor
The water sensor is designed to detect moisture along the enre length of its cable. This is especially useful for detecng leaks over extend-
ed distances and around appliances. Oponal extension cables may be added for coverage of up to 300 feet. The sensor will nofy your
controller with a Z-Wave command and will beep 5 mes when the water is detected. Another Z-Wave command will be sent to the con-
troller when water is no longer detected. This sensor will check for water every 60 seconds (on baery power) or every 400 ms (on line
power).
Buzzer
The built-in buzzer emits a single beep when acvated with a Z-Wave command.
OVERVIEW
HS-FS100+ (“Flex Sensor”) is a mulfuncon module that includes a temperature sensor, controllable buzzer and a port to connect oponal
external light or water sensors. It is designed to control other Z-Wave devices directly or it may be used with a variety of Z-Wave cered
home controllers to launch automaon events or scenes.

LIMITED WARRANTY
HomeSeer Technologies, LLC will repair or replace, at its opon, any part of the device, which proves to be defecve in workmanship or
material under normal use, in the USA except in the states of Alaska or Hawaii, for a period of one year from the date the device is pur-
chased. During the warranty period, HomeSeer Technologies, LLC will repair and provide all parts necessary to correct such defects, free of
charge, provided the device has been operated in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. The Customer will return the device to
HomeSeer Technologies, LLC for tesng and repair or replacement. Should you need service, during warranty period or beyond, contact
HomeSeer to obtain return authorizaon before shipping your device to HomeSeer Technologies, LLC.

Z-Wave Associaon Informaon
Flex Sensor supports Group 1 associaon. Group 1 reports the sensor’s status and baery if running on baeries.
Wake Up Sengs
Flex Sensor can be programmed to wake up and send its baery status based on the polling interval set. The polling interval is set to 12
hours by default when the unit is added on baery power. When on line power, wake up is not supported.
Wake up interval
Available sengs: 6-1500 (minutes)
Default seng: 0 - A seng of “0” disables the regular reporng feature and requires the sensor to be manually woken up to send updates.
Default seng when added to HomeSeer systems: 43200 (12 hours)
Notes
Important: Line-powered devices funcon as Z-Wave repeaters. If you’ll be powering Flex Sensor with baeries, include it into your network
ON BATTERY POWER to prevent it from repeang Z-Wave commands. This funconality would quickly deplete your Flex Sensor’s baeries.
If your home controller supports “S2” security encrypon, the Flex Sensor will add as a ‘secure’ device to your network. If not, it will add as
a non-secure device. This will not eect the funconality of the unit.
