Quiet PIR after battery replace

My Aeon Labs Multisensor Gen5 needed a battery change and all was fine. Changed the batteries och pushed the wake up button when inside the house. In HA the state was updated, alls good. Went outside and put it in its usual place. Then I noticed that the state hadnt not updated since the battery change. Took it inside and pushed the wake button and the state updated again in HA. Figured it was a range issue and tried placing it near a wired z-wave switched that is routing but no change. Tried soft reset of network, heal network, restart HA and nothing worked. Tired removing the device from the network and add it again. It sends data when manually woken but not as instructed in the configuration on the device. Have set value thresholds for reporting and a time in seconds for reporting periodically.

The OZW log does not say anything about that device except when I manually tell it to wake.

Anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?

I made some additional tests last night. Tried to switch the command type from Binary Report to Basic Set, but that only effects the motion sensor. Tried to disable the threshold reporting and tried using the group 2 instead of group 1. Also tried to only set periodic reporting on temperature with 30 seconds interval.

Nothing changes. No reports are sent. Why?

I am using the Broadlink S1 system and Iā€™m having the same problem since I changed the batteries. My two pirs are kinda dead. Is it probably because of the HA senses that the Pir has been like tampered?

Yay I got it working again. Thanks to the helpful support technician Chris Cheng at Aeon Labs. He told me to unpair the device, take out the batteries and stick in the USB cable to let it have power on cable. Then pair and set the reporting interval to 10 seconds. It immediately started reporting stuff. I then could pull out the cable and put in the batteries again and it kept on reporting.

Hope that helps!
