Motion Sensor Battery level in a Device

[alphatech]

Hi Mark,
Would it be possible to put the battery level from the motion detector in a device?

P.S. My insteon is having no issues with "Excellent' Status on all my devices.

Do you mean in some other way than it already is in the low battery warning device for the motion sensor. (If you go to the device value for the battery device, it gives the actual battery voltage. example: 82 = 8.2 volts. This only works if you have polling set for that motion sensor.)

I was thinking something similar to this.

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but, The Doc (Jim Doolittle) did something similar for DooMotion.

He had a script that tacked motion sensor activation and reported when one had not been triggered for some time. He went one further and used A1 andd A2 as reserved addresses and if one triggered would report the sensor as suspect being the one that has not triggered for the longest time.

Motion sensors, except for Eprom fitted ones, revert to A1 and A2 when the battery goes flat.

Guys,
I'm probably not going to mess with the MS support at this time, I'm busy with other new SH devices and HS3. Please post the request to the Feature Request thread so i can find it later

You can do a little math on the battery voltage value to convert it to a percentage if you want. I do that and display it as a bar graph on HSTouch.
