    I'm having a similar problem, my battery powered motion sensors do not reconnect after going out of range, or when the controller is restarted. Restarting the sensor will allow it to reconnect to the controller.

    My mains powered motion sensors will reconnect automatically after the controller is restarted (I haven't tried taking them out of range whilst powered up). One battery powered motion sensor that is connected through a repeater node will stay connected/reconnect after the controller is restarted.

    I've cleared eeprom using the sketch on https://www.mysensors.org/build/debug, for the controller and all nodes.

    I've tried with and without a capacitor on the radios.

    I've started with the 1.5 API and also the new 2.0 API.

    The battery powered nodes are all running a Sensebender Micro with 2 x 1.2v NiMH batteries, nRF24L01+ (from Itead), and a HC-SR501 PIR (running on the 3.3v input as on http://techgurka.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/cheap-pyroelectric-infrared-pir-motion.html).

    My next ideas are to try normal 1.5v batteries, powering the PIR from 5v on a separate power supply, and Arduino mini pros instead of Sensebenders.

    Regards,
    Corbin

    @corbin Can you provide debug logs (on 2.0.0) of both, GW and node, showing what you described?

      @tekka well after making the post above, it has started working :)

      Knowing that the Sensebenders operated perfectly as temp and humidity sensors with the sketch they were shipped with, I modified the Sensebender sketch (https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/blob/master/Arduino/SensebenderMicro/SensebenderMicro.ino) to include motion , and added "#define MY_PARENT_NODE_ID 0". Previously I had been using the default MySensors Motion Sensor sketch.

      I'm hoping it keeps working, so far, so good!

        It's been running well except for 1 node, this is the serial output, could it be damaged hardware?
