child-sensor-id = 255

Seems like child-sensor-id = 255 is a special value as I see:

Would be good to have this documented on http://www.mysensors.org/build/serial_api

Sorry, ,mentioned on the api page to only use 0-254.

Yes I now see...

But that does not describe child-sensor-id = 255 ;-)

"(child-sensor-id) Each radio node can report data for up to 254 different child sensors. You are free to choose the child id yourself. You should avoid using child-id 255 because it is used for things like sending in battery level and other (protocol internal) node specific information."

Okay, clear, thanks!
