    One sensor battery dies and others start flashing rapidly when triggered

    Hi, first time posting here but I've been using Insteon for a few years. I have many 2842-222 sensors and I've always added them to my USB modem using HouseLinc so that I can query battery status with an extended message from software that I've written as well as receive motion notifications via the modem. The problem I'm about to describe applies whether my software is running or not. When the battery in one sensor dies, it makes several others start flashing rapidly upon each motion trigger as if they can't communicate. I replace the dead battery and all start working normally again. This applies equally to motion sensors that have nothing but the USB modem linked or motion sensors that also have lights linked. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or this is unique to my system?
