[rkarolek]

hi
I have some battery devices conected to domoticz, they report info about battery and radio level.
Is it possible to get info about those lvl to set alarm or using them in scripts in other way?

Hello

You can install battery level plugin and the manipulate the level via dzvents

I am running this script for getting the battery status and set it to a dummy
Using it for a Xiaomi device, which has the battery inside its open/close status.
Now i can use it for other scripts on each value it has.

you need to fill in IP-address and IDX number of the dummy
I am running json for a local set a local dummy. I should be changing it to a local command and not json.
But it works and at the moment i am working on other things that i still didn't changed it.

Code: Select all

--[[ 
   updateBatterylevel
]] --

return {
	on = { 
		devices = { 'Garage poort'} , 
        	timer = { 'at 10:00' },      
        	httpResponses = { 'setBatterylevel' }
    },
	
    execute = function(domoticz, trigger)
	local debug = true
        function debug_print(myLine)
        	if debug then print("***** updateBatterylevel ****** "  .. myLine) end
        end
	
	if trigger.isHTTPResponse then
		if (trigger.ok) then -- statusCode == 2xx
               		local setting = trigger.json.status
         	end
	else
          	local batteryDevice = domoticz.devices("Garage poort")
         	local newBatterylevel = batteryDevice.batteryLevel
        	
        	local myUrl           = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=XXX&switchcmd=Set%20Level&"
        	myUrl = myUrl .. "level=" ..newBatterylevel
              
               domoticz.openURL({
                	url = myUrl,
                    callback = "setBatterylevel"
            	})
        end
    end
}
