MS II: what revision?
The MS II is very inconsistent for me. I've been running on USB power for a few days. Here are my observations:- Motion detection is a hit & miss; it flashes, with a 1-2 second delay after detecting movement, but many times there's no message back to the Insteon plugin
- I tried resetting it, but as I've mentioned in another post, there's no beep, so it's pretty hard to figure out when it's time to let go the 'Set' button; I thought it might be because of power through USB, but I put the battery in and still no beep
- It reported only one dusk in the two days since I've had it (mode = Occupancy)
I may have a bad unit.
My unit is rev. 1.0 2716, fw 46. Could you all let me know what your specs are if different than mine?

Yah I really think you got a dud. I have 4 running now, 2 on battery and 2 on USB. Despite the fact that I HATE the new mounting hardware, my devices have been very stable. I've reset a few of them during testing and they buzzed as expected.
All of my devices are the same rev and fw as you listed.

I'm sending in the unit for an exchange.

Originally posted by codemonkey View PostIt's been a while since I've had to call support but they were good when I did. The roll out of this motion was a catastrophe. They still don't fully support it in the hub (no temp and missing a lot of settings) They basically released the device with no real way to use it other than to directly link it to another insteon device. Who ever managed that project should be fired immediately. It sounds like their support staff still isn't up to speed on it either. The good news is that once you get a properly working device, you should be happy with it.

i'll check with SH on this "feature"
thoughts?Mark

The weird thing is that on USB power, LED off does work. Someone thought it was opposite day when they were working on that bit of the firmware. I expect that will be fixed in a fw revision. The setting would be redundant even if it did work so I'm good with removing it.HomeSeer Version: HS3 Pro Edition

So mark, I would suggest holding off until we get more testing out of this thing.

Mark, do you happen to know what the jumper does on this thing?

I received 3 new motion sensors today and are in the process of setting the first one up.
So far so good. I got it to link with HS and the temperature works well in Celsius (thanks Mark).
I have a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone know how often the temperature is updated and transmitted?
2) For the re-transmits of the signals - I plugged the device into the power outlet - Do the re-transmits go via RF or via the power line? My guess is it is via RF as I don't see any real improvement with the PLC signals.
cheers
