 * EZMotion+ (HSM100-S3) (all version 3.xx versions) REQUIRE Vera 1.5.622 AND the MIOS Update Utility or else you get 2 luminance sensors and no Temperature sensor.
 * HSM100-S1 (all version 1.xx EZMotions) have poor battery measurements. The battery is often 100% until the battery is nearly empty and as soon as it reaches even 50% the batteries are effectively dead. Each unit is a little different so the exact threshold where the batteries are dead is different.

 == Advanced Configuration  ==
-=== Running from AC Power  ===
+=== AC Powered - Always On  ===
-==== Overview  ====
+==== Disadvantages ====
-It is possible to run the unit from AC power instead of batteries, which will have the following benefits:
+Up to 10 EZMotions can be powered from 1 USB power supply. Each EZMotion requires 50mA. The length of the wire can be over 100ft but check the voltage drop as it must remain above +4VDC. If the wire goes near motors or other sources of electrical noise a capacitor may be used to filter it out. Use a 100uF (or larger) capacitor right at the EZMotion pins. CAT 5 cable works fine any only 1 pair is needed.
-*Allow you to keep the unit awake permanently, allowing you to poll it and customise it without being in Test mode
+==== Setup and Configuration ====
-*Report continuously every time motion is sensed, as opposed to waiting for the ON TIME duration in between trips
+# Obtain a USB power supply that has +5VDC output with 500mA output (or greater)
-*Set the unit to report temperature and light levels at higher frequencies up to 1 minute
+# Cut the USB connector off
-*Let the unit act as a Z-Wave repeater, increasing the span of your network
+# There are usually 4 wires in a USB connector - Black, Red, Green and White
-*Never worry about running down batteries. All of the above options are possible on battery power, but will run your batteries down within a few days
+# The Black is usually Ground (0V)
-==== Configure  ====
+See the [http://www.expresscontrols.com/pdf/EZMotionOwnerManual.pdf Users Manual] for more details. The Temperature and Light sensors will still report in every Wakeup Interval but you can have Vera poll it at whatever rate desired.
-To do this, you will need to connect a AC to DC transformer that supplies 4.5v to 5.5v at up to 1amp to the battery terminals directly. Ensure that you measure that actual output voltage of the transformer using a multi/voltage meter (don't rely on its advertised rating). Any over-voltage may fry the unit. Also make sure that the polarity is correct. It may be helpful to add a diode in series with the positive terminal to prevent accidentally frying the unit if the polarity is incorrect. It will drop the voltage by 0.6v though.
+===== StayAwake =====
-'''Setting ''Stay Awake'' to On''' By default, the unit is constantly asleep and only wakes up at regular intervals to report the luminosity and temperature, before sleeping again. This is to save batteries. While asleep, the unit cannot be programmed from the Vera and cannot be polled for information. To get around this, one normally activates the Test mode by pressing the button on the side of the unit, which keeps it awake for 10 minutes so that it can be programmed. By setting the unit to stay awake constantly, you can program, poll or configure it at any time. It also has the side effect of enabling the unit to become a repeater of Z Wave signals throughout the network.
+After setting StayAwake to a non-zero value, YOU MUST EXCLUDE and then add EZMotion back to the ZWave network so that all devices on the network know that EZMotion can now help route data in the ZWave Mesh Network.
-To set it, click on the spanner (wrench) icon for the "3-in-1 sensor" device, click on Device Options and set variable 5 (Stay Awake) to 1 or any number greater than 0.
+=== Light Threshold ===
-To activate this setting, you will need to power off and power back on the device. Remember to save your settings first.
+=== On Value ===
-'''Setting ''On Time'' to ''Always Fire''''' When the unit detects motion, it reports it by sending a Tripped command to the Vera. It then waits for the duration of the On Time and then sends un Untripped command to the Vera and waits for the next motion. Since battery life is not a consideration while on AC power, you can set it to 'Always Fire', which sends a Tripped command whenever motion is detected with no waiting period. Note, this will also prevent an Untripped command from being sent.
+=== LED Off ===
+The LED can be turned off by setting the LED ON/OFF parameter to 0. Note that the LED may light briefly even when EZMotion is sleeping as an indicator that there is ZWave data being transferred.
-To set it, click on the spanner (wrench) icon for the "3-in-1 sensor" device, click on Device Options and set variable 2 (On Time) to 0.
-−
-'''Setting Poll frequency''' The unit usually only reports temperate and luminosity every time it wakes up, but since the unit is now constantly awake, you will have to configure a poll frequency to gather that information.
-−
-To set it, click on the spanner (wrench) icon for the "Motion Sensor" device, click on Settings and set "Poll this node at most every" to the required update frequency. The Wakeup interval setting on this same screen has no effect since it's been overridden by Always Awake setting..

 Once motion has not been detected for a configurable amount of time, a no-motion report is sent to Vera.
 The temperature, light level and battery status are reported at regular intervals. The interval between each report can be changed (see below).
 A red LED indicates when motion is detected during the initial 10 minutes the device is awake to ensure proper alignment and sensitivity.

-So, device 2143 defines the temperature sensor and device 2144 defines the light sensor.
-Restart LuaUPnP, exclude your EZMotion+ and re-include it. You should get a motion sensor (parent device) and a temperature sensor and a light sensor.
+* EZMotion+ (HSM100-S3) (all version 3.xx versions) REQUIRE Vera 1.5.622 AND the MIOS Update Utility or else you get 2 luminance sensors and no Temperature sensor.
