RFXcom and security and Oregon sensors

Hi,

I bought a RFXcom USB reciever and it works perfect.
Only one thing is not clear for me:
When I put a Oregon Temp/Hyg meter on it, it shows also Battery OK.
When I put a X10 security sensor on it it show no Battery status!!!
Is the Battery status of aX10 security sensor only vissible on the "Display" ?
I use the RFXcom homeseer plug-in.

Regards Paul.

Tip: there are very cheap oregon sensors on e-bay THR128 and THGR122NX !!!!

Paul,

That's right, the Oregon sensors have a device that indicates the battery status. There are Oregon sensors that use a battery level 0-100% and there are Oregon sensors that use a battery status OK/Empty.
The battery empty is also displayed in the Sensor Messages Panel

The X10 and Visonic sensors transmit only a battery OK/Empty status. The battery empty status of security sensors is displayed in the Security Messages Panel.
