The Smart-Pipe-Clipis a compact, clip-like clamp that can be easily attached to any water pipe with a diameter between 15 and 32 mm. The device offers three functions:
The device is powered by two AAA batteries and transmits the collected data and any alarms via Wi-Fi to the preferred app or smart home platform. Alternatively, it can be operated with an external 3V power supply.
In addition to Wi-Fi, the claw can also communicate via LoRa or LoRaWAN. Normally, communication with the user takes place via Wi-Fi. In case of an alarm, a previously paired Aqua-Scope shut-off motor (for ball valves or angle seat valves) can be directly controlled by the device via LoRa. This allows a response to water leaks even if the communication network is unavailable. Since the monitoring of the water pipe, as well as the pairing and control of the motor, occurs without the need for a wireless connection, such a system can also function completely offline without an internet connection.
With a special button sequence, the sensor can be switched to LoRaWAN mode, allowing it to transmit data over the standardized LoRaWAN wide-area network as a Class A device. This mode requires LoRaWAN network coverage at the installation site.
The illustration below shows the sensor:
The sensor can be installed in two different ways:
In both mounting methods, the sensor should be placed approximately 30–50 cm away from the outer wall or the point where water first enters the house. The clamp should be installed so that the side with the button opening faces the interior of the room.
When the device is powered on, the LED should blink slowly in red and green, indicating the factory default state.
You can connect the device to a Wi-Fi network only in its factory default state. To reset the device to its factory settings, use the button sequence described in the "Button Operation" section. To enable Wi-Fi communication, you need to provide the following information:
We recommend placing the device close to the Wi-Fi router for initial connection. After successfully connecting, move the device to its final installation location and check if it reconnects to the Wi-Fi. If it does not, there might be insufficient Wi-Fi coverage at that location, requiring a Wi-Fi repeater. In networks with multiple repeaters (Wi-Fi mesh), it may take some time for the device to connect to the most suitable repeater.
Recommended for ease of use, especially if you have limited technical knowledge or plan to control the device using the Aqua-Scope App. The "Wireless Communication" section provides information on installing and using the app. When using the app, you must first create an Aqua-Scope User ID, which will automatically bind the device to your account and app.
Convenient method: Connects the device to Wi-Fi with just two button presses, though additional configuration steps are required for Aqua-Scope App use. Many modern routers have a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function, enabling quick connections without entering the network name or password.
To connect: Press the WPS button on your router or follow its instructions to activate WPS mode. On the device (in factory default state), keep the central button pressed for 4 seconds (4 times beep). The LED will blink rapidly, indicating WPS mode is active. If the connection succeeds, the LED will stop blinking red/green, showing the device is connected to the Wi-Fi. After a successful connection, you can access the device's web interface by navigating to http://scope.local using a web browser on the same Wi-Fi network.
A robust method that works with all devices, even older or less common ones. In factory default mode, the device operates as an open Wi-Fi access point with the SSID 'Scope.' Connect your mobile device or PC to this SSID.
When the device is connected to the local Wi-Fi, its functions can be used through various communication methods (even parallel):
Wenn Sie das Gerät direkt bei Aqua-Scope im Online Shop erworben haben, dann nutzen Sie die dort verwendete Email-Adresse und den öffentlichen Geräteschlüssel (Dev EUI) auf der Webseite https://aqua-scope.com/lora und erhalten auf eben diese Email eine Nachricht mit allen drei Schlüsseln. Der öffentlichen Schlüssel befindet sich sowohl direkt dem Gerät als auch normals auf der Verpackung als 16 stellige Nummer als auch als QR Code zum scannen.
Wenn das Gerät bei einem Händler erworben wurde, dann wird dieser Händler die drei Schlüssel zur Verfügung stellen. Wenn er das nicht tut, dann wenden Sie sich bitte per Mail an support@aqua-scope.com.
Direkt an Einlegen der Batterien oder Anstecken einer Stromversorgung wird das Gerät versuchen, sich mit dem LoRaWAN-Netz zu verbinden, in dem die drei Schlüssel hinterlegt wurden. Dabei blinken die LEDs. Nach ca. 25 Sekunden ist dieser 'JOIN' genannte Prozess entweder erfolgreich oder wurde abgebrochen. In diesem Falle geht das Gerät sofort in den Schlafzustand.
Verliert der Sensor irgendwann aus welchen Gründen auch immer die Verbindung zum Server, dann erfolgt automatisch ein Neustart der Verbindung. Dieser Prozess heisst 'Rejoin' und wird immer wiederholt, wenn das Gerät eine Nachricht ins LoRaWAN-Funknetz senden möchte.
Durch Drücken des Tasters am Gerät wird immer eine LoRaWAN-Kommunikation ausgeführt, die wie oben erklärt auch zum 'Rejoin' führen kann. Hier ist die Duty-Cycle-Regelung bei LoRaWAN zu beachten. Zu schnelles Senden von Nachrichten oder Rejoins hintereinander wird von LoRaWAN-Funknetz eventuell ignoriert.
When LoRaWAN communication is enabled, the sensor attempts to register itself in a LoRaWAN wireless network.
The device must be registered with a LoRaWAN network operator covering its location using three keys: Dev EUI, Join EUI, and Join Key.
This can be done with a community network such as The Things Network (TTN)] any commercially operated LoRaWAN network.
Obtaining Device KeysIf purchased directly from Aqua-Scope: Use the email address from your Aqua-Scope online shop order and the public device key (Dev EUI) on the Aqua-Scope LoRa website https://aqua-scope.com/lora. You will receive an email with all three keys. The Dev EUI is printed on the device, on the packaging as a 16-digit number, and as a QR code for scanning.
If purchased from a retailer: The retailer should provide the three keys. If not, please contact support@aqua-scope.com.
Connection ProcessAs soon as batteries are inserted or an external power supply is connected, the device attempts to connect to the LoRaWAN network using the stored keys. The LEDs will blink during this process. After approximately 25 seconds, the JOIN process will either be successful, or the device will enter sleep mode.
Reconnecting to LoRaWANIf the sensor loses connection to the server for any reason, it will automatically attempt to reconnect (a process called 'Rejoin'). This happens whenever the device tries to send a message to the LoRaWAN network. Pressing the **button on the device** will also initiate a LoRaWAN communication attempt, which may trigger a **Rejoin**. However, due to **LoRaWAN duty cycle regulations**, sending messages or Rejoin attempts too frequently may be **ignored by the network**.
For more details on the sensor’s LoRaWAN behavior and payload format, refer to the 'Aqua-Scope Developers Manual'. For general information on LoRaWAN and LoRa, visit Wikipedia.
The sensor regularly transmits the following data via wireless communication:
Types of Alerts:
At the bottom of the sensor housing, there is a small hole (B) behind which a button is located. This button can be pressed using a paperclip, screwdriver, or matchstick. Next to it, there are LED indicators inside the housing.
Button Functions
One-Button Menu
This menu allows the execution of specific commands. The LED and beeps indicate the current command selection. Initially, Command 1 is active (1 beep and 1 LED blink). A short press moves to the next command (e.g., 2 beeps and 2 LED blinks for Command 2). When the maximum command is reached, the next press cycles back to Command 1. Each command toggles a parameter between active (green LED) and inactive (red LED). A long press executes the selected command (indicated by three blinks in yellow). If no action is taken, the menu exits automatically after a few seconds.
Available Commands
The device is powered by two AAA batteries. The device is activated by pulling out the paper strip. To replace the batteries: Unscrew the three screws (F). Remove the battery cover (G). Replace the two AAA batteries inside.
External Power Supply
Beneath the battery cover, there is a two-wire screw terminal labeled for "+" and "-".
A 3V DC power adapter (not included) can be connected here.
To route the power cable, a small 3x5 mm opening at the bottom of the sensor must be broken open.
If an external power source is used, batteries can remain installed as a backup power supply.
Important: Breaking open the cable entry hole reduces the IP-44 rating, meaning the device will no longer be waterproof.
