Typical output from the measure you are using should look like this. I expect in your case the zones are not getting associated with the sensors. I was able to re-create this, I'll trouble-shoot it and update the measure.
**MEASURE APPLICABILITY**
0 = Success
**INITIAL CONDITION**
20 spaces are assigned to space type 'ASHRAE_189.1-2009_ClimateZone 4-8_LargeHotel_GuestRoom'.
**FINAL CONDITION**
Added daylighting controls to 15 spaces, covering 6000 ft^2. Initial year costs associated with the daylighting controls is $75.
**INFO MESSAGES**
Cost for daylight sensors was added to spaces. The cost will remain in the model unless the space is removed. Removing only the sensor will not remove the cost.
**WARNING MESSAGES**
Space 'Space 107' has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added.
Space 'Space 207' has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added.
Space 'Space 109' has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added.
Space 'Space 208' has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added.
Space 'Space 108' has no exterior natural lighting. No sensor will be added.
Thermal zone 'Thermal Zone: Space 101 - Plus' had more than two spaces with sensors. Only two sensors were associated with the thermal zone.
Thermal zone 'Thermal Zone: Space 201 - Plus' had more than two spaces with sensors. Only two sensors were associated with the thermal zone.
Thermal zone 'Thermal Zone: Space 206 - Plus' had more than two spaces with sensors. Only two sensors were associated with the thermal zone.

*Update:* @Kent Beason I found the measure is falsely triggering NA if there isn't a cause. That is a mistake. i'll fix and update to BCL later today. In the mean time if you add a a non 0 value to the "Material and Installation Cost per Space for Daylight Sensor" the measure will finish running and you will get a final condition (and the daylight sensors will be associated with the thermal zones).
