I received and installed my one HMS100 multi-sensor tonight. I then installed the beta HS2 2.2.0.31 without any problems.
I played around a little, I found the only way that I could get the battery level 'thingy' to show up for my older ZIR000 PIRs was to remove the node, delete the device, and then do a delete and then add with Z-Troller. I may have done some overkill with that. If there is an easier way, please post it.
I added the HSM100 Multi-Sensor without any problems.
A few comments & questions follow.
I noted that when I set the 'LED OFF' configuration option, the LED did not actually go off until the unit went out of 'wakeup' (I think). Anyway the LED is off now. Some people (like me) might get confused if the LED does not switch of at the time of configuration change. A note in the instructions might be useful.
I set in a wakeup interval of 5 minutes, after a few seconds delay the setting changed to 6 minutes. ? Might be a bug.
Question; How does the sensitivity setting relate to real life, is 255 max? Any way to relate that to, say, the ability to detect a cat at 10 feet?
Question; Same as above but for light level. Is there any conversion factor such as lumens or something? I am just trying to get an idea as to what a 'room full of light' will report as opposed to a 'dimly lighted room'.
Anyhow, GOOD JOB on this. I am currently using a USB temperature sensor and some script to get temperature data. The HSM100 makes my life so much easier now (as in I need to sense temperature in a different room but my USB cable will not reach that far).
Thanks all.

I forgot to mention, I am using HS2 on a WinXP machine.
