Hi - A month or so ago, I mounted a V2 motion sensor outside. It
worked really well, sending Group 1 on/off when (and only when)
there was real motion detected. However, I came to discover that it
almost continually sends out Group 19 On signals, in bursts of 5 to
20, sometimes only 15 seconds apart, sometimes minutes apart
Resetting the sensor made no difference. Yesterday I replaced the
sensor with a different brand new one, and it does the exact same
thing. The strange thing is that even though the units are hard-
reset and then linked only to my PLM (11.CC.FF), the Group 19
commands are directed to addresses I do not recognize ([xx.00.13]
where xx changes (could be 4B, 4C, 11,39, 38, 3A), and both
sensors sent to the same bogus addresses. Also, looking at the
log, there seem to be "noisy" period when it's sending them
frequently, and some "quiet" hours where it sends nothing, but I
can't find any pattern.
Oddly, I have a 3rd V2 sensor mounted indoors and it doesn't do
this.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has an idea why the sensor would
send these cascades of Group 19 On? (and more important, how
to quiet it) What is Group 19 anyway? :-)
TIA for any ideas - thanks!

Thanks!

I contacted Insteon support and found out that the Sensor has a
temperature sensor, although never advertised due to complexity in
supporting it. Their firmware guy has said that there was a bug that
caused the very cold sensor to transmit too frequently. It was fixed
around firmware 46 or 47. You can fix a sensor using this
command.
CMD1: 2E
CMD2: 00
Data1: 01
Data 2: 07 (write )
Data 3:Cold Set point 7F
Data 4: Cold Flags C0
Data 5:Not Cold Set 84
Data 6:Hot Set Point 90
Data 7: Hot Flags C0
Data 8: Not Hot Set 8B
Data 9: Really Hot B2
Data A: Really Cold 01
Sending the command with a PLM: (To device 57C2A1)
026257C2A1102E0001077FC08490C08BB20100000079
In Powerhome: ph_insteonwithretext("
<MYSENSORNAME>",h2d("2E"),00,"01 07 7F C0 84 90 C0 8B B2
01")
Make sure the sensor is in Linking mode when you send it. This fix
worked great for me.
