batterylevel contacts

Is there a way to show the battery level of door/window contacts on the Dashboard?

Not yet.

How would you like to have it presented?
I could show an icon at the upper right of a block, when the battery level is below a certain threshold.

Currently this are the existing font-awesome icons.

Would that be sufficient?
(on the dashboard they will be rotated counter clockwise)

That would be great. Are you using all the 5 icons, so that each level has his own icon or only the empty one when the level is below a certain value? Thanks in advance.

I planned to use them all:
>90%: full
>60%: three quarters
>35%: half
>10: quarter
<=10: empty
but only show them if battery level is below the user defined threshold

ok, implemented first version in latest beta.

Could you test?

Add the following to CONFIG.js to show the battery level for all battery powered devices:

Code: Select all

config['batteryThreshold'] = 100;
The batteryThreshold parameter can also be set on block level.

Hello,
I try to implement it also (i swithed to the beta branch). I think there's a difference because I use zwave module with 2 or more informations and domoticz didn't manage the battery as he does with a simple battery object (433 for example).
I'm using this plugin in domoticz to have a battery object.
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/BatteryLevel.html
Do you think it's possible to link the battery state you implement to another idx ?
Thank you.

Thank you.
If I read the zwave plugin page, then it seems that the plugin just uses the battery information from the device itself.
If that's true then it doesn't add value to connect to the additional 'battery level' devices created by the plugin.

If you set config['batteryThreshold'] = 256
do you then see battery level info for your zwave devices?

Using

Code: Select all

config['batteryThreshold'] = 100;
gives all the battery info of my zwave devices.

Is it possible to scale the image ?
My block a little bit small :roll:

The default battery font size is 15. To reduce it to 10, add the following to custom.css:

Code: Select all

.battery-level {
   font-size: 10px
}
To change the font size for the percentage number: (default is 10)

Code: Select all

.battery-percentage {
  font-size: 5px;
}

The default size was bigger then 15px
I need to go to "font-size: 20px" and add "!important"
Probably due the small screen size of my tablet

@madpatrick : Then i have to check again, with config['batteryThreshold'] = 100; or config['batteryThreshold'] = 256; nothing appear
@Lokonli : Yes the plugin battery ask the zwave master, and create a new equipment for each equipment with a battery status. As it works for madpatrick I need to check why it's not working for me.

Device 11 and 12 seem to have battery level info.

Double check that you run the latest Dashticz beta version. Update with 'git pull' in the Dashticz folder. There should be no errors reported.

or you changed the icon font size in custom.css already? (or font size for .fas)

Yes device 11 and 12 have battery info, in fact it's 1 equipment with many devices.

I tried it again in dashticz folder, git pull -> it say already up to date (french translate)
In the info on dasthicz folder i'm in version 3.7.2 beta you are running latest version

Just as double check, can you add the following to CONFIG.js:

Code: Select all

config['batteryThreshold'] = 256;
Do you see any battery level?
