CONTROL VIA SMARTPHONE
GROHE Sense Guard is a smart home device that is controlled with the use of GROHE
Sense app.
WATER ON/OFF BUTTON AND LIGHT
The button "WATER ON/OFF" can be used
to turn water on or off by opening or closing
the valve inside GROHE Sense Guard. Press
this button for 3 seconds to open or close
the valve. Every time the valve is opened
or closed, the outline light on the device
flashes blue and you can hear the valve.
If GROHE Sense Guard automatically shuts
water off right after you try to turn it on,
this indicates a sudden massive increase of
water flow, which is identified by the device
as unusually high. In this case, first turn
your manual main water valve off, then open the valve in GROHE Sense Guard, and at
last, slowly turn the manual main water valve on.
The LED light above the button indicates the water flow status:
• LED light on in blue color = water flow is on, the valve is open
• LED light off = water flow is off, the valve is closed
CONNECTION BUTTON AND LIGHT
The button "CONNECTION" is used to
activate the Wi-Fi hotspot mode during the
process of connecting the device to a new
Wi-Fi network.
The LED light above the button indicates
the status of GROHE Sense Guard
connection to the Wi-Fi network:
