stevemcd Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just had an issue where my C4 V2 remote started going wacko.. Did not respond and seemed like it was rebooting.. I like the Version 2 remote since it seems robust and strong - I use it outdoors by the pool and BBQ.Well I found out that the batteries (4 AAA) just needed to be replaced. Even though the Battery gauge on the remote indicated 100%.It seems that the battery gauge on the remote always indicates 100%.Anyone else noticed this? Seems like this is a bug with the software or something...ThanksSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The V2 remote will go into a constant reboot when the batteries get real low. I have never noticed that the battery level was stuck at 100%. I don't have any V2 remotes any longer so I can't verify the battery level thing.

ILoveC4 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I never noticed that either, but I also never really checked the battery meter. I waited until I experienced what you described, and then I replaced the batteries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while I still get the "waiting for network" message on my SR250's, but infrequently and it clears within 10-15 seconds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingzz Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yes, poor Zigbee coverage.I'm sitting 10 feet from the HC300 in the theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is there a 9 foot think concrete wall between you and the HC300?=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I don't know how your system is setup, but is that the HC300 that is running zserver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 ^exactly my question as well.I can also tell you that my SR-250s worked sorta OK under Embernet (w/CA repeaters) but not worth a damn on ZP (w/o repeaters). Even with all floor controllers set to ZAP mode these things can't function well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzz Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 yes the HC300 is running zserver, if not the only other controller in the system is an old MC that the HC300 is sitting on top of but I thought I was only using that for the relays and contacts, no 9 ft thick wall, system is running 1.7.4, the remote is a SR250, I'm going to get an old V2 remote and see if it has the same delays/lags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I don't know what to tell you. Maybe a defective remote? Do you have another one you can test?I can tell you that all mine work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
