DScanlan

What I learnt this afternoon. First, for what ever reason, I needed to do a "Factory Reset" right from the package, could have been this batch ( I added three devices). That is done by holding the test button while pushing in the batteries and holding the button for 10 sec, you will get one beep at start and one beep when complete. The next thing is don't use the "SmartStart Add" in the UD app as this sets the device with "S2" and some values were missing. Using the AC to add the device sets up with "S2AUTH" and values are present. "Keep Awake" is non-issue, as when the smoke detector is triggered messaging is refreshed accordingly. I put a weak set of batteries in one unit and it is currently returning a decreasing level.
To be honest I had my doubts about ZWave, still not rushing to get more. My "Hit Head Here" spot got a real workout these pass two days. For those that are following this "thanks" for the moral support sometimes that is all that needed.

Sorry for the false alarm, I resolved my own issue by replacing the 12v power supply.
