    Leak sensor in metal pan?

    I searched to see if this was an issue or not. Can you place a Insteon Leak Sensor in a metal drip pan? Will the metal of the pan keep the unit from sensing water with the two probes?

    Thanks,

    John

    The metal pan is a conductor. Water is, too. that's what sets off the alarm. There's an easy solution. Place a paper towel in the metal pan.
