ZW100 Multisensor 6 reporting SensorBinary always state=On

I’m using the ZW100 Multisensor connected to a GEN5 Z-Stick which is connected to a RaspPi 3 running hass.io.

The sensor worked flawlessly the first few weeks while USB powered. After i received the batteries i did:

  • ZW100 Factory reset
  • Secure add node
  • Set binary reporting

The issue is, that it is reporting this, even when there is no movement.

What i’ve tried (did everything only on batteries):

  • ZW100 Factory reset, multiple times
  • Heal network

So far no success.

I have also observed that the current power mode changes from battery to USB power.Although it is still battery powered.

Many thanks in advance for ideas and support

Reporting back, found the issue.

I was using rechargeable batteries with 3.7 V, in some manual the following brought me to test non rechargeable with 3.0V

WARNING: Not compatible to rechargeable CR123A batteries (3.7V)

After using compatible batteries the sensor works as it should.
