Also funny u never added a Zwave device before. U have a Homey for like 5 years and just added a CoCo device? Or u just bought the Homey from Ebay? Is the time zone of ur Homey the same as u bought the Fibaro sensor for?  
Like timezone Homey Europe and Fibaro sensor EU?  
Just trying to help.  
Ow, one more thing:  
Did u try a new battery? The only way to know if the battery is ok is to [measure](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-measure-batteries-on-faltering-battery-powered-devices/15561) it.

Sorry, the forum didn’t allow me to answer you yesterday due to my message quota as a newbie.  
Anyway, you are 100% true, my fibaro is US, 908Mhz. My Homey is european.  
It is plain dead :-(.

Then buy a EU Fibaro sensor because they are not gonna work together because of the difference in MHz.

The Z-Wave protocol uses 868,4 MHz radio frequency in Europe, 908,4 MHz in  
USA and 921.4 in AUS/NZ on unlicensed ISM bands. The protocol was launched  
with 9600 b/s data transmission but it has been raised to 40Kbps. Both versions  
of the protocol are compatible.
