Hi Kevin, I'll scan the link tables of my motion sensors to see what's there as I don't recall doing a test in the past. But if the sensors won't send battery and light level messages without groups 2 and 3 controller records then I must have them because I've seen those messages. Regarding the responder links in the PLM, those are added independently of the existing links in the motion sensor, right? I thought that the PLM responder links only depend on the .mht file entries, and I have those. I want battery and light level messages so no need for me to remove .mht entries and factory-reset the motion sensors. What I meant by unnecessary traffic was traffic generated because of some misconfiguration or missing link. It doesn't seem like that's a possibility in what we're discussing, though. (I actually don't use light level messages but I disabled those by setting the corresponding potentiometer in the sensor all the way to the right [or left; can't remember]. I left the .mht entries in case I want to use the feature a n th future.) Cheers, Eloy Paris.- Kevin Robert Keegan <ke...@kr...> wrote: >On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 1:10 PM, Eloy Paris <pe...@ch...> wrote: > >> BTW, related to this -- I have not done a sync links from MH for my >motion >> sensors.
