LifeInnov WiFi Smart Rain Sensor detects rainfall for Smart Life scenes, helping compatible irrigation devices avoid watering when rain is detected outside.
Know what your water is doing — and shut it off from anywhere
Let rainfall become part of the watering decision, not another thing to remember.
High-Sensitivity Rain Detection
The sensor uses high-sensitivity multi-zone rainfall detection. It supports 180° and 90° mounting orientations when installed correctly.
Smart Life Scene Linkage
When rain is detected, a Smart Life scene can help a compatible irrigation device avoid continuing to water. This product is a rain sensor, not a water valve or irrigation controller by itself.
Rainfall Records
Review rainfall records in Smart Life to see detected rain events. Use the record as a simple reference for your connected irrigation routine.
Low-Battery Alert
The app supports low-battery alerts. The unit uses two replaceable AA/LR6 1.5 V batteries; the manual states approximate battery life of six months under normal conditions.
Outdoor Installation Options
Install with the optional ground stake or supplied wall bracket. IP65 protection, a -10–60°C (14–140°F) operating range, and 1–95%RH non-condensing humidity support outdoor placement.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Setup
Connect through 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi using IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax, with a stated wireless distance of 45 m. Bluetooth 5.0 is also listed for pairing support.
FAQ
Q1: How do I install the WiFi Smart Rain Sensor?
Install it in an open outdoor area with either the optional ground stake or the wall bracket. Keep the rain sensing plate facing upward toward the sky and make sure the device is level and stable. Avoid soft or loose soil when using the stake.
Q2: Does this rain sensor work with Smart Life?
Yes. It supports Smart Life and connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. No hub is required for basic Wi-Fi pairing. A compatible irrigation device is required if you want a Smart Life scene to change a watering routine.
Q3: What happens when the sensor detects rain?
The sensor can trigger a Smart Life scene so a compatible irrigation device does not need to continue watering after rain is detected. The sensor itself does not control water flow and is not a water valve.
Q4: Where should I place a rain sensor for accurate detection?
Place it where the sensing plate can receive rain directly, away from trees, buildings, power lines, leaves, and other obstructions. Do not touch the detection board during use because it may trigger a false alarm.
Q5: What weather conditions can the sensor operate in?
The sensor has an IP65 waterproof rating and an operating temperature range of -10–60°C (14–140°F). Its operating humidity range is 1–95%RH, non-condensing. Keep the device upright and securely mounted.
Q6: How long do the batteries last?
The sensor uses two replaceable AA/LR6 1.5 V batteries. The manual states approximately six months under normal conditions, but actual battery life depends on rainfall frequency and the sensor’s working mode. Smart Life provides a low-battery alert.
Q7: What happens if Wi-Fi disconnects?
The supplied material confirms 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi pairing but does not specify offline record storage, scene execution, alert delivery, or reconnection behavior. Do not rely on unconfirmed offline behavior for irrigation decisions.
When rain changes the day, your routine can notice.
Check Smart Life after a passing shower, confirm the rain scene has the signal it needs, and return to what you were doing without another round of guesswork.
