Water sensor not showing up

Hi,

I bought a water sensor (http://www.banggood.com/433MHz-Wireless ... ds=myorder). It seems the device is working (some lights blink when it comes in contact with water) but it doesnt show up in my domoticz. Im not very known with the 433 protocol, but i have a rfxcom transceiver, so i figured it would pick up the signal and i would see something popping up in the logs of domoticz. However that was not the case. I also tried pressing the "accept new devices for 5 minutes" and set off an alarm, but that didnt do anything either.

Maybe im doing this all wrong, could someone help me out?

Regards,
Peter

Is it stated in the RFXtrx433 user manual that it supports this sensor ?
If yes, then i would first try with the RFXMngr application

Looks like this modified door-sensor http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... oor+sensor. You will find your answer in this topic i think

I think the main thing is to get it to 3.3m.

If you ordered the 433 Mhz version, it already should have the 3M3 resistor installed. The main thing is to select the proper protocol on the RFXcom, assuming you have one

Which is the complete kit? I means, transceiver and receiver.


Thanks
