MS10A signals and OnAlert

Can anyone owning an MS10A Security Motion Sensor and having AHP with the OnAlert plugin let me know whether their MS10A behaves the same as mine, i.e.:

When motion is detected, the sensor transmits the Alert signal.  Then 10 seconds later it transmits the Normal signal, regardless of whether or not there is continuing motion.   After a refractory period of around 1 minute (and assuming continuing motion), it will again transmit the same Alert - 10 seconds - Normal sequence.

(This seems strange, and differs from X-10 non-security motion sensors, which don't transmit a Normal signal until some interval after the motion stops.)

Thanks for your response.



Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

I don't use mine anymore but I do recall the same fixed delay followed by the normal signal regardless of continuous motion.
