You might want to reconsider that, as it looks like it fell back to pairing with S0 security...
S2: 128 = S0 security = 3x the mesh traffic as non-secure or S2

That was a lot of text to say "no battery or wakeup command classes when paired with USB power". 
Thanks to your pics I found the manual online ( https://usermanual.wiki/NEO-ELECTRONICS/NAS-WR12Z1U-5245649.pdf ). After taking a quick read, I don't see why a driver for this shouldn't be doable.
The manual is pretty good for a weird/non-mainstream device.
I'll try to get a driver out Sunday after my device gets here so I can verify functionality.
Sounds good, I changed it to S2
Did you try Aeotec Multisensor 6? I wonder it's from the same manufacturer, both have similar features and use 2x CR123A. And just like Multisensor 6, it has to be powered during inclusion to work as a repeater (forgot where I read that)
This device supports 2 role type: AOS(Always On Slave) and LPM(Low Power Mode). Which role type is valid decided by which power (Battery or DC Power) is supplied when include
When device is included with AOS, it also can make a repeater role.
(So the reply from their support from Aliexpress which said not to be used as repeater was wrong)
It would be worth a try using the MS6. I haven't looked at that driver in some time, but as this device just uses notification and multilevel reports for the value reporting, it wouldn't surprise me if another driver worked.
Need a custom driver for the parameters/settings of course, though, as they are on different param #s.
I tried A-MS6 and no go. I tried MS7 and get humidity but motion not registering. It also says Power: mains ( but on battery ) as seen below.
- battery : 100
- humidity : 50.6
- illuminance : 165
- motion : inactive
- powerSource : mains
- tamper : clear
- temperature : 77.9
Cool.
Just FYI that I think there will be an in-box driver for this device in the not too distant future/releases, but I'm still going to make a user one anyway as I want access to all the config parameters.
I may/may not add/expose the association group parameters though. Those are getting used less and less in a S2 paired world due to incompatibilities.
Sounds great.
Ordered one to jump on the bandwagon 
I have the driver done (as much as I can without actually testing it). Device should get here today, so if it shows up at a reasonable time, and my code isn't complete trash, I should get the driver out tonight.

Nice. Let there be light ( after motion of course ).

I did inclusion when it's on usb powered and I didn't see Battery in states. Is that only available if it's on battery when doing inclusion?
If I unplug the power, still no battery status, so it's all about what mode it is at when doing inclusion?
Usually, yes.

Correct. It locks in the power mode, and supported commands, at pairing time.
If you change the power source later you should re-pair it if you are going to leave it the new way long term.
Using it under porch for people or car coming in from driveway. It seems quite up to its specification, very sensitive (settings at 10) to people and especially car driving by even at like 35-40 feet away while pointing at 45 degree down.
So did you find that you needed to make the motion setting less sensitive (you said you have it set to 10, versus the default of 2) to reduce false motion events?
Still working on adjusting it to my like. Not really sure if sensitivity setting matter.
At 2, I get like motion event every 1 or 2 mins. I'm not sure if those were false alarm as I wasn't checking my camera, it could be just normal car driving by during the day.
Then I changed it to 10 trying not to detect people walking at 35 feet away and pointing it down to 45 degree (need top mounted), still detecting people (might be less) and car (every car). I now pointed it even further down (I might put strip to block the top part of PIR later). I'm using my doorbell camera to see what triggered the event if I'm at the computer.

Thanks, I was just curious. I certainly did not try out all 16 sensitivity settings, but I also find it pretty darn sensitive.
