I have an easy solution that works if you have the Easy Trigger Plugin.

1. From the Easy Trigger plugin's "Config" screen, set up a dynamic Device Group called "Batteries" consisting of all devices there "Type" equals "Z-Wave Battery". If you have devices other than Z-Wave, you may need to modify this.

2. Set up a simple event that triggers whenever a "Battery" device is set (i.e., at each battery report). The event just checks the battery level and sends an email if its too low. In the example below, I set that to 50%. Since most battery devices report their battery state about every 12-24 hours, this won't result in too many alerts. Also, I have it sent as a text to my phone (your cell phone provider typically has an address where you send an email and it converts into a text to your phone. Here, in the US, for ATT, that would be XXXXXXXXXX@mms.att.com where you replace XXXXXXXXXX with your phone #). Here's the event:

Works GREAT! thanks. Just tried it with pushover

I also am having the same error of

ERROR: Exception in script: Failed to compare two elements in the array.

Is there easy way to modify the script to write the report in html file or any other file that I could display in HS Touch?
Let say I would run the script once a day to update (overwrite) the report file.

Thanks. Charles

I've been using this script without problems for a while now. But this weekend I added a Hue motion detector to my system and because it runs on battery I wanted to check that it was included in the report generated by the script. It was not...

It looks like the reason is that Device Type = "Battery" (ONLY Battery) and because of this it is not recognized by the script. If I change the Device Type to something like "Test Battery" the device shows up in the report.

Is there some way to change the script to fix this? I would avoid having to change the Device Type as this is easily forgotten when I add another Hue motion later...

I ran into an issue with it not recognizing some devices that have battery in the name. I change the comparison code:

From:

If InStr(UCase(dv.Device_Type_String(Nothing)), "BATTERY") > 1 Then

To:

 If (UCASE(dv.Device_Type_String(Nothing)).contains("BATTERY")) Then

I know this is an old thread, but I was hoping that someone has a version that works on Linux and HS4.

thanks, Chris
