FGMS-001 units are changing

I have one of these in my hallway for motion detection as well for switching the light.
Actually is working quite well.

But since a while I've observed that (mostly by night) the device is constantly changing the units (luminance, temperature, etc.)
Why does this happen?

Re: FGMS-001 units are changing

Interesting. Does it look like that happens every time the module broadcasts out its temperature sensor and light sensor values?

My guess is the module is sending both °C and °F (and for lux + % for the light sensor). Indigo auto detects the units sent for any given sensor and switches over to use those units. That is, it expects a sensor to send only a single type of value, not multiple. I've never seen a module send multiple before.

matt, I also can't remember it switched them in the past.

As far the sensor remains on the "right" unit it's ok.
Otherwise, I suppose it will bring my stuff to a mayhem situation

Re: FGMS-001 units are changing

I assume there's a setting to toggle between the two? perhaps try setting it to whatever it's not set to, sync it, then set it back?

Computer says no.

I have to check this.
Strange is, I can't remember I've seen this before.
For a while the communication to the device was disabled due to my move to another house.
