Insteon Motion Sensor

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Thanks - makes sense, now that you provide the answer :~}
