    I don't see any issues in the log you posted
    I think you may have hit on my issue. I was putting the MSII into linking mode after the HS3 "add" feature. The I-Phone Insteon App is triggered by the APP's request first, so I assumed that was the same order for HS3. I'll try that order next time I need to link. I also apologize to the forum for the long log listing!

      I have resolved and added the following :

      1. The led on/off works
      2. revised battery level graphics
      3. added the dawn/dusk sensor
      4. added temperature scale
      5. added the low battery warning

      a few comments
      - still haven't invested the Modes. stick with Occupancy mode for now
      - the Low battery level is adjustable but based on my testing the MS stops transmitting at 1.5v so there isn't much adjustment between the default low level of 1.75v.

      Please delete the MS II from the plugin, factory reset the device, and register it again as new. This will ensure you are testing the latest setup.
      Just received my first MS II. And now the questions...

      ALL - Given there is no light sensitivity level anymore with the MS II, I'm wondering if anybody tested at what level the dusk/dawn triggers. EDIT - I just got a dusk message with a level of 6

      Mark - I can see the different values for the Occupancy mode, some with exotic names:
      • Occupancy
      • Occupancy II
      • Night only
      • Vacation
      • Security
      • Light harvest
      • Party


      Are these for drop down list display only for now or is the plugin actually sending code to the MS II ?

      With previous versions of the MS, you could play with [Occupancy Mode = On] and [Send On Only = On] to tune it to your needs. And there was a separate parameter [Night Only = On]. I had mine set to work only at night and send only 'On' commands; this would lighten the load on the battery. From what I can tell, the MS II lost this flexibility, unless one these new Occupancy modes regroups that functionality.

      Do the dev notes shed any light on this?

        claude,

        the mode will change the function of the MS but I haven't tested to see if it actually does what it suppose to, and some of the "exotic" modes require additional settings that aren't implemented

        I will include a pop help message in the next version that will outline each mode.

        try night only if you are interested, but no guarantees if it doesn't work

          Hi Mark, got two more motions today.

          Set one of them up and it is still ignoring the LED off setting. Set LED Brightness to 0. Still blinks.

          I am running the .13 beta.

            Can you check the opflags2 Key in the eevalues within ini to see if it changes when you change the setting via the plugin

                MS II hard reset procedure

                Apologies for hijacking this Insteon thread for a hardware question.

                Have any of you tried a factory reset on a MS II? The procedure calls for the MS II to beep: mine is silent, but the LED blinks. So it's hard to determine when to stop holding the 'set' button after applying power. I should mention that I'm doing this by removing/reinserting the USB cable.

                  all of mine have beeped. The led also flashes red when the reset completes. I have not tried to reset with a USB cable connected.

                    Mark here are some new findings...

                    1. If you power the motion by USB then you can turn off the LED.
                    2. If you switch from batt to USB you end up with double links. (see image)
                    3. On batt, the temp is fairly consistently 10 degrees low. But when I plug in a USB cable, it less than a degree off of correct. (actually .5 degree's high)

                    This result is consistent over 2 brand new motion II's.

                      Also just noticed that the battery "Good" image is missing.

                          3. I noticed this as well. I already confirmed with SH about the formulas that I posted here. I would say to adjust with the calibration setting. not sure what else to do.

                            after removing power, make sure to wait about 10 secs before holding set btn and restoring power. the ms should beep for several seconds, then double beep when finished.

                              based on my test, when on battery and LED off, i do think the flashing is minimized significantly but not eliminated completely.

                              i'll check with SH on this "feature"
