I have asked for advice from the Universal Devices Forum and will results here in my notes later on.
From what I understand, the Insteon Motion Sensor only uses rf to signal the ISY that the battery needs to be replaced, and since it is powered only by a battery, it minimizes the power it uses, so I'd expect the messages here to be sent only when needed, and maybe not very often.
If the motion sensor sends a "low battery ON" signal, it would be the best signal for the ISY to watch for, because it presumably would occur when one needs to change the battery.
To monitor a "low battery OFF" might mean that the battery is now fine (!) or that the low battery is now virtually "OFF" (!@#)
Again, not sure what monitoring a "low battery responding" would do on the ISY... maybe they would all do the equivalent action ...
I guess we could test it, but I'll wait for advice.
