Michaelco Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm finally getting around to incorporating one of the Insteon 2842 motion sensor I bought back in January, and getting odd results during setup. I went to link the sensor (via Liink Sensor menu item) with the ISY 994, and entered in the devices address, and a friendly name "Driveway Motion". The name was altered by the ISY to "Driveway Motion - Low Bat". The battery should be new, but replaced it to rule out a potential low battery problem. Deleted the device and added it back in via Link Sensor menu choice. Same thing happened - friendly name I gave it was altered as before. The sensor didn't appear to work at first, but seems to be doing fine now. Just want to ensure the "- Low Bat" addendum to the name I entered isn't indicating some issue. Normal, or questionable?
LeeG Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 There should be 3 nodes name - Sensor name - Low Bat name - Dusk.Dawn Right click any of the three nodes and select Group Devices to bring all three nodes together. Low Bat will turn On when the Battery is low.
