HSM100 won't change to "no motion" state

Try it with new batteries.

New batteries did the trick.

The last battery status showed 76% so I thought that was good, but I guess not.

Thanks, Rick

We are looking into the battery status reading.

Thanks for your help Rich!

Rich, is there any resolution to this. One of my HSM100's started showing constant motion yesterday. The battery status shows 91%

I will change the batteries tonight and i presume that will fix it.

Neil,
Rich found and error in the code that calculates the battery level and it's reporting erroneously high. Try changing out the batteries and that should fix this. The battery level reporting should be in the next release of HS.

How old are the batteries that are in there?

[neiltimms]

The order was on 8/20 so they must be from around then when i installed it. I haven't changed them since it was installed so they are probably just over 3 months old

What do you have your wake up interval set to?

[neiltimms]

I believe it is set to the default - 6 minutes? I didn't change that when i installed it.

It is in a fairly high traffic area.

As i recall when i installed it it only ever showed 96% battery level. (bad battery?). All my others show 100% but it worked perfectly and the level didn't change until yesterday when it went down to 91% and started seeing constant motion. (it is now showing 90%)

Ok, i changed the batteries last night and it did start working properly again. However it only shows a battery level of 96%

As mentioned in a previous post above that is what it always showed before from when i installed it.

Rupp mentioned a new build where the battery monitoring is fixed, any word on when this will be available?

Thanks

Neil

I noticed the motion status on my HSM100 was "stuck" on since last night. I pressed the blue button and tried to optimize it, but still it didn't work correctly. My HS system had been up and running for 110 days without issue, since I installed the patch to support the HSM100, so I figured now was as good as any to grab updates and then restart.

Did that, and it's not fixed. Jumped onto this board, and found this thread, so I just replaced the batteries. (When I installed it 3 mos ago it showed 99%, it was showing 94% yesterday, 6 minutes, low to medium traffic area)

Now the motion level is now 97% with the new batteries, and motion is registering correctly.

I found my one HSM100 in constant motion today, 100% battery (last updated 1/11/08). It's normally a low traffic area, but got some high traffic yesterday.

I replaced the batteries. New = 1.55V, Old = 1.44V (all three AAA)

Using settings:
off delay 5 min
led enabled
sensitivity 170
wakeup interval 90 min

New batteries cured it; motion, temp, light lvl all good. Battery level value still has not updated (shows 100% from 6 days ago)
