Regarding this sensor http://aeotec.com/z-wave-sensor
When the motion sensor triggers on my Aeon Labs MultiSensor it stays triggered for quite a long time. Can I change that trigger time from InControl, is so how?
The sensor monitors temp/humidity/light, how can I trigger a scene when for instance the humidity goes above a certain threshold?
If I would like to monitor and log historical values from the sensor, how would I go about then?

This is a handy website for looking at the parameters for configuring devices. For that sensor, they have a list of configuration parameters. I believe the one you are interested in is #3 "How long should a device associated to multi sensor keep state On..." The default is 240 seconds, which means the sensor will send an "I'm on" command to InControl and it'll stay that way for 240 seconds before the sensor will check if motion has stopped and send the "off" command if so.
To change this value, you need to be running in "beta z-wave controller mode" then click the device and then the "Param" button. You'll retrieve param #3 to get the current value then change it to the new value and save it. Be aware that for a battery op device you need to make sure you wake it up before "retrieving" and also before "saving" the new value.
The sensor monitors temp/humidity/light, how can I trigger a scene when for instance the humidity goes above a certain threshold?
Next to the humidity/light level in the list that shows up when you click the sensor there's a blue button. That button let's you create a device based on the associated reading. With that device you can create rules and events when it changes.
If I would like to monitor and log historical values from the sensor, how would I go about then?
There isn't currently a way to do that, though there is a to-do list item for it. Feel free to vote it up and/or leave comments describing your desired features related to it.
