I have a very similar problem with my Z-wave devices. I have 6 leak detectors and all 6 went offline three days ago. Battery level reads 0 on all 6. I tried the Synchronize all nodes and it didn't help. Is there some feature in the ISY that causes this issue? ISY 994 v.5.3.4 Ecolink wireless Freeze/Flood Sensor

I have a related problem with these Ecolink sensors. I have one on a water heater in an unheated closet and the Freeze Alarm notification came but it would not clear for over three weeks. Ecolink suggested trying to use a water test to activate the water notification and that notification came but now I have the LEAK DETECTED ALARM and the LEVEL DROP ALARM with showing on and I have not been able to clear them. I've tried excluding them and re-adding them and removing the battery but no success. After three weeks, I did try a program to wake the sensor and then query the Notify Sensor and it cleared the FREEZE ALARM, but, I don't know if the query worked on the device cleared on it own. Does anyone know how to clear the notifications on these devices? I have not gotten an answer from Ecolink. it doesn't do any good if the FREEZE ALARM only works one time.

I'm trying the same thing but not too proficient in Zwave yet. The Ecolink tech support folks told me the following about sending wakeup notifications: As for the wake up notification I think the issue you are seeing may be in part because the wake up notification command class needs to be expressed in interval steps of 200 seconds (minimum 1 hour) ie "00 0E 10". I set up a variable for the sensor battery level, something like: $sOutsideWHBatt. So my program so far looks like this: IF Time is 8:00:00AM THEN Set 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Wakeup interval 1 hour Set 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Query $sOutsideWHBatt = 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Battery Level % I'm still having communication issues with the Ecolink devices so I'm not sure it's working properly yet. Hope this gives you some ideas. Mike

Thanks. I have the heartbeat monitored twice per day and it was reporting satisfactorily on both units before the leak. I used the basic configuration that has been posted in this forum to monitor heartbeat, status and wet and dry. The one device that detected the leak had some water in it. I took it apart and used some contact cleaner and dried it out and it seemed to work ok after resetting. I did the reset and ran a test with very shallow saucer of water and it reported a "wet" condition. This makes me wonder how it reported if the ISY is saying that it couldn't communicate with either of the LDs. The fact that the other unit also lost comms with the ISY leads me to a bad PLM as a common mode failure. I don't know if the CM15a has anything to do with them.

I have two Insteon 2823-222 leak detectors set up that have been running for the past two years and yesterday my isy994i lost communication with both of them. I had a positive leak detection on one of them two days before. I tried resetting the PLM (2413s R 2.4) but nothing changed. Is it possible that the PLM has failed? On a side note, all of my palm pads (hr12a) have stopped controlling all my x10 lights about the same time. The ISY program is running correctly but I can not manually turn the lights off or on with the palm pads . I have an old cm15a that has been in place for several years so I was considering that the cm15a was bad as none of the palm pads work. It seems coincidental that the PLM and the cm15a both failed about the same time. I'm pretty new to this so any suggestions would be appreciated.
