If you're using 4.6.2 firmware then only the ON node is supported with a fixed 30 second timeout. No options can be configured. If you're using 5.x.x firmware you can install the sensor as a 2842-222 and it can be configured via the ISY. In future 5.x.x firmware releases it will hopefully be fully supported.

I use the 5.0 branch with over 100+ insteon/zwave/hue (network resources) without any issues. While upgrading can initially cause issues, they are generally easy to fix. Backups should be made regardless of title. There are some bugs that may effect specific types of users. This can happen even with "official release" builds. Edited April 20, 2018 by lilyoyo1
Goose66 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) I have said this in lots of other such threads, but I will say it again here. I believe that 5.0.12 is "alpha" because Michel and Chris still don't view it as "feature complete" of the first 5.0 build, not because it is not stable. I have had no issues on 5.0.9 on (other than some minor program issues after upgrade and one crash that was caused by testing a brand new nodeserver) However, the 2844-222 is still basically not functional in 5.0.12 because you can't configure it (without a Insteon hub).

larryllix Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 What Goose66 said. I have used every version of ISY since v5.0.1 and found a few bugs in v5.0.2 only. Never anything that made it "unstable".
