CJVann Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Can someone confirm if normal operation for the Insteon Hidden Door Sensor (2845-292) is for the LED to flash, then stay lit for 5 seconds, with each open/close? The old style window/door only gives a quick flash. Seems odd for a light that can't even be seen once installed, especially since none of my other Insteon devices behave this way. It seems to work, just making sure something isn't "off" that might cause the battery to drain down quickly or affect operation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes I saw the LED can be turned off, but wondered if maybe I got a defective unit that i need to return? Just got it last night at Fry's.

LeeG Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 My pleasure. I have several Hidden Door Sensors and they all came with LED option checked. Assume they are shipped that way so the LED can be used to debug/verify initial activity. Once positioned in wood and working the LED is best turned Off to maximize battery life.

Why use "Two Nodes" vs "One Node?" I don't understand what difference this would make. Thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teken Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Why use "Two Nodes" vs "One Node?" I don't understand what difference this would make. Thanks, Jon Single node would reflect the switch open - closed or rather on / off. Two nodes allows the other state to remain and be used as I recall. Some how I don't think I have explained this properly though. Ha . . . So in single node open would be on, closed would be off. In dual node mode both open / close will send a ON command. This is good where you want to keep a light on when the door or what ever is open then closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
