Water sensor modes

The water sensor should have different action settings like entry and motion sensors.  For example, in away mode, I want to get notifications if the sensor is triggered, but I don't want sirens blaring nor emergency services dispatched.

Emergency services are never dispatched for a water sensor trigger.  Who WOULD they dispatch?  A plumber?  

And the internal siren issues a noise, but a different one than for an alarm.  And the external sirens don't go off.

Yep, sevensiamesecats is correct.

Emergency services are never called for Water Sensor triggers. But if you have active 24/7 Monitoring, there will be a call from an agent to let you know. If you already know that it's a Water Sensor alarm, you can ignore that call and they'll leave a voicemail. And the call sequence will stop there (they won't also call your secondary contacts!).

There is also a totally different alarm sound when the sensor is triggered. Unfortunately there's no way to turn that off without also turning off all alarm sirens.
