I've been using the first version of the motion sensors for a few years now. Both batteries went out at the same time and when I replaced them, both wires that connect to the 9V ripped off. I've since bought two of the new version II. Config went okay and they're both successfully operating the lights like previously. The issue I'm having is the settings on the sensors aren't working. I recall with the old sensors I could never get the timeout to work. No matter what I set it would always turn off after 30 seconds. So I set the sensor to "on commands only" and setup a program to wait 5 minutes before turning the light off. This worked but I cannot for the life of me get it to work with the new sensors. It seems as though the settings are not taking effect, specifically the setting to "on commands only".

Anyone experiencing something similar? 

What version of the ISY firmware are you running?

If you're running 4.7.3 then then the Motion Senor II has limited support, basically just the motion on signal which defaults to 30 seconds. None of the parameters are configurable, however you could work around this issue with a program.

The latest version of the 5.x.x ISY firmware supports the sensor and its options.
