CPrince Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 I have four motion sensors. 1 2842-222 and 3 2844-222. I am at Isy 5.3. I added the motion senors back at version 4.9 before upgrades. All my sensors show up as 2842-222. The new sensors show up as old sensors. Okay I figured that issues out. I deleted them and re added the new sensors and now they show up as they should. During the process they showed light level, battery level, luminance, battery power etc. All looked good. So I saved my config and rebooted. Now they only show status (on/off). All the other good info is not reporting. This is not really a problem, but one of the things that bugs me and keeps me up at night. The sensors are all directly linked to the corresponding light (outside of Isy in case Isy fails). Ie bath sensor turns on bath light, closet sensor turns on closet light and office light turns on office light. All works. What really bugs me is that bath and office show the correct memberships (far right on the Isy display. However closet shows nothing. No memberships. No scenes. I blew away closet light and sensor and re added to no prevail. I really wanted to tap the luminace vales of the sensors but that seems not possible at this time as they are not reporting.
lilyoyo1 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 You linked outside of the Isy so it would not be aware of those links. The rest would populate if hardwired to power
CPrince Posted December 12, 2021 Author Posted December 12, 2021 @lilyoyo1Thanks for the reply. All three of my new (2844) motions sensors are configured outside of ISY. Two are reporting membership. Isy added these, not me. But not a problem as ISY does not run them except for battery low. More of a cosmetic problem. I am a detail guy. Now for the battery low problem. It looks like the 2844 does not have a battery low like the 2842 did. My previous programs for the low battery are all yellow flagged . So I need to recode them for the new sensor. However, you say that the 2844's need to be plugged in to report the light level, battery level, luminance, battery power etc. data. Then I would not need a battery low if they were plugged in. lol. All is good. I did not have it before and it looks like I will not have it now. I will set something up in the odd case the sensor does send out a low battery level on day.

I assumed battery level would've been obviously not applicable since it would've been hard wired. It's possible you configured something outside of the isy and re-added it with existing links. Outside of that, it is well documented that the Isy doesn't not pick up on links made outside of it so all linking needs to be done through the Isy
