Intended use
GROHE Sense Guard is suitable for use in cold potable water
up to a maximum water temperature of 40 °C.
GROHE Sense Guard is only permitted to be installed in
potable water installations for detached houses and flats that
have separate water supply lines (observe EN 806).
The GROHE Sense Guard meets the requirements of
DVGW VP 638.
GROHE ONDUS app and connection to the internet
GROHE Sense Guard connected to the internet via WLAN can
be integrated and configured in the GROHE ONDUS app. This
app can be used to provide warnings and alarms in the form of
push notifications.
A WLAN router with internet access
(2.4 GHz, IEEE 802.11b/g/n) is required.
Only WLAN channels 1 – 11 can be used.
Installation of the app:
Apple:
Android:
If the app or the device firmware requires updating, the
smartphone must be located in the immediate vicinity of the
GROHE Sense Guard. In this way, possible interruptions in
function can be controlled and rectified.
Applications
The GROHE Sense Guard constantly checks water
consumption, flow rate and temperature and stores collected
data on the device and in online storage (GROHE Ondus
cloud). Threshold values can be set for the different
parameters, for which warnings are sent to the user when they
are exceeded or underrun.
Through constant monitoring, leakages are detected in good
time and water damage can be reduced by using automatic
shut-off or smartphone warnings.
A 100% protection against water damage cannot be
guaranteed for system-related reasons.
GROHE Sense Guard detects everyday water consumption
and saves this as consumption data. On this basis GROHE
Sense Guard responds to unusual situations.
There are many types of possible deviations:
• Pipe burst: an excessively large amount of water flows
through the GROHE Sense Guard. The water supply is
immediately shut off and a push notification is sent to the
connected smartphone.
