How do I get batterylevels back?
Posted: Saturday 02 August 2025 20:53
Sinds some time I'm missing the battery level report on Z-wave devices. It concerns motion sensors from Fibar/Neo and doorsensors from Neo. I am checking battery levels with a Lua script using:
and in another script checking the retrieved values against a threshold level. This works for all battery operated devices (like Zigbee) but not, sinds some time, for the mentioned Z-wave devices.
The discovery configs are all like this:
And the report for the battery_level like this:
In this example the battery level appears on the FMS1 MultiSensor device, on other hardware devices (if reported) on Low Battery. After enabling new devices and restarting the Z-wave AD hardware new devices '...128-0-level' were created, something that (imho) should not be.
Could there be a connection with the commit on June 15?
Code: Select all
local function getDevices()
local url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. "/json.htm?type=command¶m=getdevices&used=true&displayhidden=1"
dz.openURL({ url = url, method = "GET", callback = CALLBACK })
end
local function processDevices(result)
for index in pairs(result) do
local deviceName = result[index].Name
local batteryLevel = result[index].BatteryLevel
dz.log(format('Device: %s, Battery level %s %%', deviceName, batteryLevel), dz.LOG_INFO)
if batteryLevel and batteryLevel ~= 255 then
dz.globalData.batteryLevels[deviceName] = batteryLevel
end
end
endThe discovery configs are all like this:
