What I’me doing wrongly with my setup?

My setup is simple now - two rooms, one motion sensor (ExpressControls) and one Duwi switch set at one room and one motion sensor (ExpressControls) and two Duwi switches in other room.

Just in one day of reseting and adding motion sensors to my network i’m getting this message for both sensors:

Failed at: Setting user configuration

I’ve tried to reset and add a few times - it is the same effect.

What is wrong?

With regards,
Alexander

Thank you for your reply.

I’m aware about battery operation. I’ve tried to re-configure from test mode (by pressing blue button on a sensor) - it does not helps.

Additional: I’m need to put custom OnTime value and to associate a sensor with a switch.

Ontime goes to general device itself while association I’m putting to virtual motional sensor.
Is that right approach? (after inclusion I’ve got 4 devices - general, motional, light and temperature sensors)

I configure mine with both the parameters and the associations in the parent device. I only get error messages when I try to configure something in the child devices, eg., the motion sensor.

I find that most of the time my configurations of the 3-in-1s will fail unless I have the sensor in close proximity to Vera - within a meter or so.
