Smart implant as a rain sensor on HC3

[Razvanv 0]

Hello,

 

I have a Smart implant and I want it to be a rain sensor on one of the binary sensors.

I use the fist wire of binary sensor along with ground to connect to a small plate with conductive paths. The Idea is that the rain to short-circuit the paths and to breach the sensor.

The problem is that is not working... :(

If I manually short the wires, I get the breach status but no luck with the water. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can you help? Maybe there's a parameter I need to set?

Thanks!

so if you connect red to black on the sensor it works?

if so, the water you use is to clean

it's better to use something like this:

Hi @Razvanv ,

 

KEMO rain sensor can also work nicely with smart implant:

Advantage of the KEMO rain sensor is built in heater that can prevent unwanted freezing or wetting of the sensor surface and thus false alarms.

• Sometimes salinity is an issue with these units, this one worked fine with filtered, bottled water, but in some instances you may have to add a bit of salt to increase the waters conduction.
