How can I update the Wi-Fi settings?

Open the Minut app, navigate to the Properties tab, select the unit, scroll to Devices section, tap the Minut device, navigate to Advanced settings and press the 'Update Wi-Fi settings' button, then follow the instructions in the app.

How to get started

The installation should only take 15 minutes or less.

1. Download the app

Download the Minut app from the Google Play Store or iOS App Store.
Open the app and create your account. If you already have an account, just open the Minut app and log in.

Create your first unit following the steps in the app. Then install a Minut M3/M2 Noise & Occupancy Sensor.
In the same unit, scroll down to the Devices section and tap on the “+” sign to start the installation process.

You won’t be able to install the Minut L1 Water Leak Sensor in a unit without a Minut M2 or M3 device, so make sure to install an M3/M3 first.

Scan the QR code on the sensor.
Press the button on the back of the sensor until you hear a beep.
Peel off the sticker and attach it to the sensor, making sure you don’t cover the button. Then stick the sensor to the wall or cabinet.
Make sure the metal probes touch the surface that you want to monitor for leaks. It’s recommended to secure the lower part of the sensor to the wall/cabinet with a screw.

3. Finish configuration in the app and test

To test the sensor, you can fill a glass with water and place the metal probes in the glass. Wait for around 2 minutes, and you should be alerted to the leak. Once you receive the alert, take the probes out of the water and dry them.
If the test doesn’t work immediately, wait for 15 minutes and try again. The connection between your L1 Water Leak Sensor and M2/M3 sensor can take up to 15 minutes.

The alert in the app will resolve itself once the sensor stops sensing water.

Where should I install my sensor?

We recommend installing Minut L1 in the area where leaks are likely, such as the basement or under sinks. Make sure that the metal probes touch the surface that you want to monitor.

Selecting location

Never install Minut L1 outdoors.

Install within 32 ft (10 m) from the Minut M2 or M3 sensor.

The metal probes need to come in contact with water to detect a leak, so make sure they touch the surface where a leak might occur.
