I'm using the Z-wawe.me UZB-stick (EU), and still havn't seen that settings page on any of mine multisensors

Like the multi sensor 5 they act according to the power applied, where the first generation required they be included while powered by the means you intend to use when installed. I found it easiest to include mine while USB powered so that I could set the parameters easily. If they were to be battery powered I put batteries in and installed them. The USB powered sensors remain awake and the battery powered sensors sleep. I have 16 itch about an equal number on USB power and battery powered. They are all working well.
Parameters 111-113 are the frequency of reporting for groups defined in 101-103. While Aeon implies that the wake up interval will affect when reports are sent I had the best results setting wake up at 6 minutes and parameter 111 at 300 seconds. My powered units have 111 at 120 seconds. They all seem to be reliably reporting at 5 minutes and 2 minutes respectively.
A couple of them would not report motion properly until I set parameter 4 to 5 for maximum sensitivity.
I like mine to time out more quickly, so I changed parameter 3 from the default of 240 seconds.
I've attached the parameter list that Christopher sent.
Have you figured out the values for parameters 101 to 103 to get various values to report? The table below(in the Eng_spec) seems blank?
Thanks, BobSpen

Thanks, BobSpen- Luminance = bit 7 (128)
- Humidity = bit 6 (64)
- Temperature = bit 5 (32)
- Ultraviolet = bit 4 (16)
- Battery = bit 0(1)
Hopefully this makes sense.Last edited by randy; November 1, 2016, 08:33 PM.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

- Humidity = bit 6 (64)
- Temperature = bit 5 (32)
- Ultraviolet = bit 4 (16)
- Battery = bit 1(1)
Hopefully this makes sense.
This make perfect sense---thank you so much(I now understand the table on page 10).
I am testing with various setting and getting strange results:
Note: this is all with battery operated devices
ROOT DEVICE SETTINGS: I have all sensors except the battery in group 1 with a 13 minute reporting interval and the battery in group 2 with a 12 hr (even though the document says this will be reinterpreted to 2 hr max??).
I have the wakeup interval set at 15 minutes(in 'settings").
I have the Z-wave controller POLLING set at 0.
I have two events that trigger on 1) the battery child device being "set" and 2) the temp child device being "set" and write a log entry for each.
RESULTS:
1) The temp device "sets" every ~15 minutes(BUT it "sets" 2 to 3 times at the 15 minute interval, all within a few seconds?)---maybe the Z-wave controller "sets" all devices in a group each time it "sets" one???
2) The battery device "sets" sometimes on consecutive 15 minute interval(close to the above temp device "setting"). Sometimes the battery device "sets" on an interval of 1 hr , 2 hrs or as long as 3.5 hours??
QUESTION:
I am not sure I understand the interplay between the 3 possible interval setting:
a) The Z-wave polling interval(now set to 0),
b) The wakeup interval at the bottom of the root device SETTINGS page, and
c) The "group" reporting interval(for groups 1,2 and 3) on the root device SETTINGS page.
Thanks for listening,
BobSpen

Hopefully this is a valid thread to post this to...
I am having trouble getting the multisensor to report back on motion. I have removed it and added it back in and all I can get it to do is report that the battery door was removed after the shock sensor was activated. The thing is, it reacts right away to that. When it comes to any motion in front of it, nothing happens.
Parameter 4 from this thread is set to 5. The disturbing part, is that I cannot get it to change from that. I have tried entering 2, 3, and 4, without any change to the parameter after the UI refreshes.
Any thoughts on how to approach resolving this?
