Insteon Motion Sensor II

[Bob Amott]

Question: Is there any documentation on Insteon Motion Sensor II and LoX?

Looking to see if there are changes in Linking and how to access the new "options" and how to change the "Battery" data from false to true and as such, able to see the battery level.

Thanks

Other than the documentation that came with the MS, I haven't seen anything additional.

Once the MS is linked the only options are what show up in the admin console. Basically, what you see is what you get.

As I recall UD had to reverse engineer the Motion II as Insteon would not provide any documentation. This limited support to the feature they could figure out. I suspect this was the product that broke the camels back when it came to Insteon support.

Recently with new management at Insteon and limited i3 support starting to appear with UD products I suspect UD is adding support at their own pace when documentation is supplied while staying focused on Polyglot, Polisy, and eisy. I would not expect any future added feature support for the older Insteon products which includes the Motion II

The Isteon MS II has inherent logic problems/bugs in it's timer algorithms. Hopefully the New Insteon fixes these problems before re-releasing the same defective product.

Home automation needs a good MS device. Most automation relies on sensors and an MS is a main player in that field.
