How does a sensor 'deal' with another repeater

[marceltrapman]

So, I added a new repeater this weekend.
I have two repeaters now.
Obviously they both have their own (hardcoded) ID.

If I understand correct a sensor stores a default parent ID in memory.

But what happens when I move the sensor to use another parent.
Should the sensor update automagically or do I have to flush the old and set the new parent ID myself.

So far I can't see the sensor returning in the network

@marceltrapman If a number of successive transmits to a parent fails the sensor will leave its parent and start searching for a new one.
Another way to trigger this behavior is to clear the eeprom.

@Yveaux OK, I think that this is not how it goes.

I moved a sensor from repeater 1 to repeater 2 without seeing it show up anymore.
After removing the parent and the distance values from the eprom (what does the distance vaue say btw) the sensor showed up again using the new repeater.

@Yveaux That is what I thought and what I saw before. I will clear memory and see what happens. Thanks!
