Automating Querying of Low Battery Node for Motion Sensor V 1

[PhanTomiZ]

Hello,

Is it possible to automated the querying of the low battery node for an old version of Insteon Motion Sensor?  I sometimes forget to query the low battery node after changing the battery and could use an automated way of doing this.

Thanks

I have a program check for the low battery node to switch on and it sends me a notification.

I have the notification for low battery.  I sometimes forget to query the low battery node after changing the battery.    Looking for an automated way of doing this.

If you use ‘is switched on’ for the if clause, you won’t need to query it.

Sorry.  I must not be asking this question properly.   Let me rephrase it....

I'm looking to "Reset" the low battery node automatically once my battery has been changed, using a program.  Below is what I use to keep track of battery changes in motion sensors.    I started doing this because some battery operated devices were depleting batteries too fast.

MSS Front Porch Outside Batteries Changed On This Day - [ID 02E2][Parent 028A]

If
   - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')
 
Then
        Send Notification to 'Default' content 'MSS Battery Changed'
        Wait  10 seconds
        $MSS_Front_Porch_Outside_Low_Bat  = 0
        $MSS_Front_Porch_Outside_Low_Bat Init To 0
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 

 

I run this program after I change a battery in a motion sensor to send me an email recording the date and time. I save this in my email for future reference. That way I know how often I'm changing out the battery.  (BTW, I do this for all battery operated devices).  For some that I feel are killing batteries, I set up a cycle counter to see how many cycles I get for the lifetime of the battery.

I would like to add another line to this program to query the motion sensor's low battery node to reset it.  (I do forget to Query this node manually)

Is this possible using Firmware\UI v4.7.3 or do I need to upgrade to a newer Beta Firmware???

Thanks again,
