UPDATE
I just read another thread about a motion detector and I think Problem 1 below is just normal behavior. Please keep reading about Problem 2.
----------------------
I just installed an Insteon Motion detector Model 2842-222 with the Mark Sandler plugin in HS3.
It installed pretty easy and the motion detection is VERY quick. I have had very bad luck with a z-wave sensor (DBS-05) and have been tempted to put it in the trash.
PROBLEM 1
The light detection does not seem to work as expected. I have played with the trigger level setting inside of the case and sometimes I can have gotten an update on the Device but generally it just does not seem to send any trigger for dark or light. Is it supposed to send a trigger?
I do see when I go to the Insteon Plug In and select Mange Devices then select the Dusk/Dawn device it shows a value for current light level that does seem to change based on the light level AFTER getting a motion detection.
PROBLEM 2
I am seeing what looks almost like a duplicate entry in the log file for a motion trigger. There are always 2 ON messages in the log that are the same time or 1 second apart. When the device timeout expires there are two OFF messages in the log.
I have attached an event to the motion detection and it only fires once. I do NOT have the setting on the event that only a single instance can run simultaneously.
Curious.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
