Just another battery and device check script
The initial version and many updates were first uploaded to the german siio-forum.
After one year of use and many user hints, I would like to share my script with you.
What are the features of the script?
At first it reads the battery status of the devices from the HC2.
Over time, some useful features have been added.
For example, the status of non-battery devices is also being checked.
In addition,on some battery devices, the "last breached" status can be read.
This for example can be useful ifa battery died between 2 wake-up cycles. So please note if the last breached status changed or not.
There are a lot of variables for control and output, the meaning of each variable is explained in the attached PDF. Please play with it to see how it works.
How does the script work?
The script is triggered by the autostart function and every day at a specific time.
Depending on which days are entered in the variable "maildays" an email will be sent.
In addition to emails, the script can also send push or telegram messages.
At the end of the script a summary of the dead devices and a summary of the last breached status is displayed.
Have fun with the script and if you have any questions: I am happy to help.

Changelog for Version 1.3.5
What's new in version 1.3.9?
- Above all, the output of the 'Summary' section has changed.
- Via the variable 'onlySummaryM' only the output of the 'summary' is sent as an email.
- The 'Summary' always comes in a separate mail (always the last one).
- This became necessary for larger installations with about 40 battery devices and because Fibaro rejects mails that are too large.
- In the 'Summary', the specification of hours is converted into days if the device has not been triggered for more than 72 hours (3 days).
- In addition, at the end of the 'Summary' section there is an output about the runtime in days of the HC2 with the installed firmware version.
BatterieCheckV1.3.9-en.lua.txt is the English version.
BatterieCheckV1.3.9-DE.lua.txt is the German version.
Because the encoding ( UTF-8) often gets confused when uploading, I have now provided the LUA files as a txt file. Use UTF-8 encoding when saving as a lua file.
