Originally posted by mterry63 View PostIt would be great if an event action would allow setting a battery threshold to trigger on for all monitored devices. I currently run an event every day that iterates through all battery Z-wave devices and emails me the device name if any are below 20%, but it takes a bit of effort in an event to do this.

Thanks!

Yes and no. The current version is purely dead or alive. The next version, which I have been working on for the last month and I should be posting this weekend, can alert on battery levels, discharge rate and life since last battery change.
The original purpose of the plug-in was to let me know when my devices die, and arose out of the fact that battery reporting, at least with Z-Wave devices, is so inaccurate. I have devices that operate fine for weeks whilst reporting 0% and others that die when still reporting more than 50%, so battery level as a global setting is not much use. This will remain the primary purpose of the plug-in together with reporting all alerts from one root device.
Having said that, I have extended the plug-in to be able to alert on level, rate and life but not before building in the ability to override global trigger levels on a device by device basis. I have also built in more ways of monitoring devices which extends the plug-in beyond Z-Wave only. I am putting the final touches to it and should post for testing soon.

Originally posted by sirmeili View PostThis may be a non-issue. After waking it up to check the wake up time, that one is now working. Battery reports at 100% (Which is highly unlikely), but it is reporting and now I can at least monitor it via this plugin

Not sure why my Kwikset locks (910) have not shown up as I set them up on the config page.
-set LogLevel to 2
-wait for the length of time that the poll interval is set to
-filter the log to only show SDJ-Health messages
-look for messages about polling
-post an extract from the log around a polling time
If the locks are appearing in the list of devices available for polling then that means they are Z-Wave, have a battery child and have reported to HS3 that the battery can be polled. However, they may not be responding properly to the actual poll. The log results should indicate what is happening.

Originally posted by NetworkGuy View PostI also have 3 Monoprice motion sensors, but only using one at the moment. Initially it showed battery at 0% for a long time. I was able to get it to "update" by waking it up. It then showed its battery status at 90%. But that was on 2/02 (a month ago). It has not updated its status since that time. Not really sure why. Z-Wave parameter says it should update battery status every 12 hours (polling interval). But nothing for the last month.

Edit: and you don't need to set a polling value for battery devices. As far as I know it won't actually do anything. Battery devices can't be "polled", they have to wake up and report their values. Locks are the exception to this rule.
