I have 1 RFXCom Ethernet Receiver and 1 Temp sensor and since we
worked out the config problem I had with Michael's help, no problem at all on my Intel iMac on 10.4.11.

Abot the 5V report battery level, I asked Bert and he told me told me that : << 5V is the voltage behind the regulator and this will stay at ~5volt until the battery voltage drops below 5.5V; at about 4.6 volts the RFXSensor will transmit a low battery signal that needs to be
decoded in the software. If you don't have a humidity sensor in the
RFXSensor you cxan connect the 9 volts to the A/D input of the
internal sensor and you will be able to measure the battery voltage >>
