    Battery Status not updating

    I am a newbie and recently added an HS-MS-100+ motion sensor to my HS4 Pi system, powered by a new battery (no USB connection). It is triggering Motion events; however, the battery status appears stuck at 0% and is not updating. Any guidance on how to get this feature to work properly?

    The first thing to check is on the "battery " child device/z-wave tab; make sure you have a polling interval set(i.e. 12 hours).

      After replacing a battery, my Battery device still reads "Battery Low Warning". I replaced the battery 5 days ago. It is set to poll every 12 hours. Motion detection is working fine. Any ideas?

        Removing and reseating the battery caused the battery device to update to 90% right away. Hopefully it continues to update/poll properly.

          One of my HS-MS100+ motion sensors' battery device likewise has failed to update after replacing the battery. It is stuck on "Low". But within the SDJ-Health battery plugin does show it at "100" or "Healthy". I manually woke up the device and optimized it, but still showing "Low".

          UPDATE: The battery status finally updated and shows 90% this AM.

            Hi -- I have the MS100 installed (it's new) and its working fine within HS4 using Zwave + plugin. However, I'm not getting automatic battery status updates as described in the installation manual (should be every 12 hours) unless I physically press the wake button 4 times. Even when I poll it, it says it will get that parameter next time it wakes up. I cannot find the parameter in the Zwave tab of the device set-up within HS4 using the Zwave plug in. (Yes, I manually wake the device when accessing the tab and can see all the standard parameters). I also can't set any wake up parameters as that parameter number is not included in the documentation. How can I 1) check that parameter value and/or 2) set that parameter value?
