Well - I removed the device from the ISY, did the factory reset (again), and it's still the same old story. I can stand right in front of the damn thing and jump around, wave my arms like a stupid idiot, or anything along those lines.. and it doesn't trip. It only seems to trip if I touch it or tap it ever so slightly. Such a pain in the ***. I guess I'm still going to pick another one up and hopefully it doesn't act the same. It can't be this hard to get a motion sensor working properly. My GE 6540UPI sensor that's connected to my Honeywell alarm system works like a charm, everytime I walk by, move, etc, and I literally just wired it up and walked away. Frustrating.

I will likely pick up another sensor and try it... I did follow the factory reset process from the user manual when I did it before. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

Not necessary, the batteries were bought recently, and I know they're fine. I've used new ones from the same pack for other devices and not had a problem. Guys - I assure you, it's not a battery issue. Also, I bought the Insteon devices about a week ago as part of the Assurance Kit, I just chose to ditch the Insteon Hub and get an ISY instead, because the Hub really doesn't enable much. It's a shame that the Hub wasn't really more of a user friendly implementation of the functionality that's available in the ISY.

I'm out of town for work at present, so I'll try at least doing a hard reset one more time and delete/readd to the ISY. I have switched to a brand new battery out of the package, and that did not improve things.

The LED does not blink when I walk by, and the state does not change to ON. Attached are my motion sensor settings. I had tried both on and off position for jumper 1, no difference. It's currently jumpered for the 20% reduced range. The sensor is mounted in the corner of my living room aimed in the general area where you would walk from the bedroom to the kitchen through the living room. An intruder entering the living room from the front or back of the house would trigger motion. I have another sensor attached my alarm system in the same location (just below it) and it operates perfectly.

Thanks, I've tried the sensitivity jumper in both positions, a new battery and also reset to factory before and it didn't improve things. I made sure to put the device into communication mode to set up options from the isy admin console... It still doesn't work as I'd expect. If I walk in front of it, say five feet away, it does not trigger. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

I'm almost certain now that the motion sensor I have is bunk. I can walk right in front of it and it won't trigger an on condition, but if I tap it, it does... Maybe it's defective somehow. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

Not sure I have seen Belias's program for this... I just created a program that sends a notification when the heartbeat is switched on.

Thanks for that nugget - The thing is, I don't seem to be getting any heartbeats from any of the sensors anymore since the upgrade. I get the motion sense and open/close events, but no heartbeats. Is that normal too?

Thanks all. I'll try this stuff out when I get home. For some reason, after upgrading my ISY to the latest RC version, all my sensors aren't responding to queries, and it appears as if I have to relink them. I'm getting events from them, but cannot query their current status. I have door sensors, motion, leak sensor, and a window sensor, all to re-link... sigh.

Hey there - New to the whole ISY, trying to get my feet wet in this, but having a bit of a rough time with Motion sensor programming. I want to do something fairly simple. The purpose is to turn on the light if I get up in the middle of the night so I can see where I'm going, then turn the light off. If it's between sunset and sunrise, AND the motion sensor is tripped, AND my lamp is not already on THEN Turn the lamp on for 2 minutes, then turn it off. During the time that the lamp is on, I don't care about more motion events. What would be the best way to accomplish this? I'm doing the following now, but it doesn't quite work 100%. It seems to sometimes trip again immediately after it shuts off. Also, sometimes it comes on when I'm sure there's no motion. Is the Insteon motion sensor a piece of crap? It seems like I'll be in front of it, waving my arms around, and it doesn't trip... Motion Light Enter - [iD 0002][Parent 0001] If Control 'Living Room Motion-Sensor' is switched On And From Sunset + 30 minutes To Sunrise - 30 minutes (next day) And Status 'LampLinc North' is Off Then Run Program 'Motion Light On' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Motion Light On - [iD 0006][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Disable Program 'Motion Light Enter' Set 'LampLinc North' 40% Wait 2 minutes Set 'LampLinc North' Off Enable Program 'Motion Light Enter' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
