How to update device attribute batterylevel

Is there a way to update or change the device attribute batterylevel on a virtual device? Just want to create custom virtual battery if possible

Thanks for your reaction.
This does not update the attribute "BatteryLevel"". It remains 255. It does update the attribute "Data"

I know but if I update the devices created by Z-Wave battery monitor plugin with this, the new value is displayed for the device on the Utility tab.
I have not find anything that is closer to the desired result yet.

Any device / sensor expert out there willing help me.
How do I update the device attribute BatteryLevel with a number 1-100 on a Virtual device

Thanks a lot I will have a look at it.

[hoeby]

I am using a copy of this script.
But it is not very stable.

The battery which i am reading out is 84%.
But whit running the script, the answer of the script is going up and down and never got the right read out.

Some idea's?

@hoeby, this script was created to test if it is possible to set the batterylevel on a virtual device. It will look for the batterylevel attribute of a testdevice but if that attribute is not set for that specific device it will generate a random number between 0 and 100 and update the batterylevel of a virtual device with it.
It was never meant to be used other then for test/development purposes. Sorry if that was not clear

[hoeby]

thanks for the reply.

i will try to remove the math.random and look what will hapen. maybe nothing, but i can try

EDIT: tried it, but get an error. disabled the script, tonight i will look further if something can be changed to get it working.
Domoticz can read the battery status of the device. Just looking for it how it works and how it can be used for making virtual switches with it.

[hoeby]

Your code is working whit a little changing

What is changed?
- Removed the

Code: Select all

or math.random(100)

- Changed the URL to the dummy IDX device. I have done this because i want to use it in a dashboard an need the read the battery value of my device. When connecting it to a dummy i can program it different than the IDX which produces the batterylevel. This is not necessary when your are not using dummy devices.

I don't work whit the Local xx = xx function.
Because when debugging i find it easier when to code is writting whitout variables.
Therefor my code is not cleaned up, sorry for that

I do not understand why the script should go to you. For me it results in an infinite loop, because every time the device is turned on, it is automatically turned on a second time and that triggers the script again. Do not you have this problem? Please check your log.

This is my modified script:

Code: Select all

--
-- Lua dzVents Script 
-- Check Dead Device and set BatteryLevel
--

return {
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Doppellampe'
        },
        timer = {
            'at 12:00'
        }
    },
    logging = { 
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'ManageBattery'
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        -- Every Day at 12:00 do this:
        if(item.isTimer) then
            -- Check all devices for potential deadness based on the latest update:
            local deadDevices = domoticz.devices().filter(function(device)
                return (device.lastUpdate.daysAgo > 4)
            end)
            deadDevices.forEach(function(deadDevice)
                domoticz.openURL('http://192.168.178.10:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=' ..deadDevice.idx.. '&nvalue=' ..deadDevice.nValue.. '&svalue=""&rssi=7&battery=5')
                domoticz.log('Set potential dead device ' ..deadDevice.name.. ' Battery & RSSI Level!', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            end)
            
        -- If any device is changed, do this:
        elseif(item.isDevice) then
            local deviceIDX       = item.idx
            local newBatterylevel = item.batteryLevel or math.random(50, 70)
            local myNvalue        = item.nValue
            local mySvalue        = item.state
            local mySignal        = item.signalLevel or math.random(5, 8)
            local myUrl           = "http://192.168.178.10:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=" ..deviceIDX.. "&nvalue=" ..myNvalue.. "&svalue=" ..mySvalue.. "&rssi=" ..mySignal.. "&battery=" ..newBatterylevel
           
            domoticz.log('myUrl: ' ..myUrl, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = myUrl,
                method = "GET",
                callback = "setBatterylevel"
            })
        end
    end
}

And the setting of the signal level does not work. it will always set the default value of 12.
