FAQs & Troubleshooting
Where should I install my sensor?
Install your sensor where there is the highest risk of a leak. Some common installation locations:
- Under your sink
- At the low point in your basement or utility room floor
- Near your water heater
- Near your sump pump
- Near your air conditioner’s drip pan
- In your laundry room
What should I do if my sensor has a red light on it?
Fast Blinking Red: Low Signal
If the LED is rapidly blinking red, this indicates that the signal is low.
Slow Blinking Red: Connection Failure
If the LED is slowly blinking red, this indicates that the device failed to connect to the network.
Fixing Low Signal or Connection Failure
Move the device to a new location away from walls and other electronics to check for a better signal. Until the signal is strong enough to connect, the device will attempt reconnection once after 1 to 5 minutes, and then will continue to retry connections at 15 to 20 minute intervals until a connection is made. To force a connection attempt, remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, and replace the battery.
My sensor is beeping, what does that mean?
If your sensor is beeping, that means a leak has been detected. Inspect the area around the sensor for signs of water.
My sensor detected a leak, will it still work?
Most likely; the sensor is waterproof-rated IP44, meaning it is “splash-proof”. Unless the sensor was submerged, it should still work. To test if the sensor is still operational, remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, and replace the battery. You should see a green light on the sensor.
How do I change who gets alerts for my sensor?
Use Meshify Protect to change alert contacts.
How long does the battery last?
The Meshify Leak and Freeze sensor’s battery should last 2 years under normal operating conditions. High alert volume and poor cellular connectivity can cause the battery to wear out faster.
The instructions say it uses a "Cellular Network". Do I need a cellular plan for the sensor?
No! The cost of the cellular plan is included as part of the sensor cost.
