How many sensors are there? It looks like there is only two: low-level and high-level. Anyone know if there's a redundant high-level sensor?

There is only one sensor, Its an optical sensor, the "eye" senses the high and low level plus it has "smart" programming that will alert you of a problem. Theres in no redundant high level sensor. Theres good videos on youtube that shows you how it works. I absolutly love my Smart ATO!! Well woth the money!

There is no redundancy high level and it has only one optical sensor. The Smart ATO's sensor is called AFS (auto feedback security) technology. It shuts off the feed pump if it detects a long fill cycle. This prevents the need of another switch that can fail and it shuts down if there is a malfunction.

Don't think so. But there is an internal timer that's used for redundancy. It won't pump more than a certain% more than the previous times. If it is still calling for water, the safety shuts it down completely

I am currently trying to get it to work, the software loads fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the sensor. I sent an email to the manufacturer, will let you know if I get a response.

I have not done much with the sensors to date. Most of the sensors are simple digital/ analog I/O interfaces which would just require an appropriate I/O selection on the microcontroller. If you have questions about a specific module, I could take a quick look and let you know. I had the same reaction with the lack of documentation but I am an electrical engineer so I am not particularly worried about figuring out the details.

I found several places online that still have the sensors in stock. I would recommend that you search the internet and buy several.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

Hello. It comes with one sensor (water) but can also work with several others (I use a temperature sensor with the SK642. I purchased the Ideal products through Amazon. VERY pleased with the dialer & both sensors.

I used only one of them, which I used on the cpu cooler. There are option to have the fans automatic or manual. If maual you done need the sensors.

Yes. You can put multiple sensors on one base. You will just have to look around on amazon and just order the sensors on its own.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

One sensor... remember you need two if you want to monitor the standard set of tires on a motorcycle. :)

Google the sensor and display to find the instructions. I seem to recall that there's a jumper on the circuit board that you need to set for one or two temp sensors. So I'd take a look at the docs before I gave up.

I don't know where you can buy more sensors. I returned my security system because I couldn't even program it, I was very unsatisfied with this product.

No. A sensor can only be linked to one thermostat. On the other hand, multiple sensors can be linked to one thermostat.

I have installed two of these systems in the past two years, one at my brother's house and one at his place of business. The business is a large shop and the office on the second floor is a distance away from the entry door. We have infared sensors and door sensors. I installed another at his house and we have 3 infared sensors and two door sensors and a remote external alarm and are all quite far away from the control. Everything seems to be running okay for now. Good luck!

Hello - I bought one of these units (base station and 3 sensors) for my parents. They live about 800 feet off of a main highway with the base station in the house in an interior hallway and it works fine. They had one 7 years prior to that and it worked fine too. I don't think you have to have the sensor and the station in "sight" of each other as most people have the base station in the interior of their home. Hope this helps - Alan

It has 4 zones You can hook up 4 sensors per zone. So, you can have 16 sensors total per base unit.
