Anybody else getting these, not happening on all devices but driving me nuts with random alerts.

With what Zigbee integration do you see this?

Running zigbe2mqtt with the auto discovery option, current stable Domoticz on Pi3B+ O/S is Buster
Sorry I missed your reply otherwise I would have responded sooner.
Thanks

If Zigbee2MQTT is sending those incorrect values there is not a lot Domoticz can do. With MQTT Explorer you should be able to see what values are send by Zigbee2MQTT. Perhaps it is already a known issue in Zigbee2MQTT?

Could not you set your alerts on 2,8 Volts or lower?
Or better set it on a battery percentage?

Could it be that your sensor is a Xiaomi GZCGQ01LM light intensity sensor?
I have 3 of them, and all of them have the same behaviour. Almost every day the battery level drops to 0, causing Domoticz to report a low battery level.
The battery level of these devices in zigbee2mqtt is not reliable as it jumps up and down. I just ignore it.

Hi @claude2666
Sorry I missed your reply from a while back, yes indeed mine are the Xiaomi GZCGQ01LM light intensity sensors, I have 2 off them and they both perform the same, what would be good would be if you could set Domoticz so that the battery had to be below a set point at least 3 times in a certain period before getting an alert. None of my other Xiaomi devices have this problem, in fact my door and window sensors seem to go forever on one battery!
