[VD] Device Battery Monitor

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi,

I added a couple of more battery devices to my setup and decided I needed some type of a battery monitor

This virtual device is triggered to run every 6 hrs (by @Sankotronic Main Scene Scheduler) and checks a set number of Battery powered devices and sends a message if the battery is below 30%

It uses the Smart message Hub to send alerts but could easily be adapted to use email or popup

 

In addition to the 5 battery devices monitored by this VD, I also have 2 Minimote remotes but since they don't report battery level I couldn't include them

I know there are some excellent scenes and vd's that do this already. I kept mine very simple as this is what suits my needs. 

Sharing it as it may be of use to some HC2 owners

Hi AutoFrank,

 

Can you let me know how it make those Web UI windows, please.

 

I put one Fibaro Door/Window sensor in my garage door and one switch on/off.

Of course I use the switch to open or close and sensor to know if it open or close, but I have 2 Web UI, and I would like to have only one.

 

Thanks

Alex

I got an error:DEBUG] 21:47:10: 211[DEBUG] 21:47:10: DEBUG] 21:47:10: 2
[ERROR] 21:47:10: line getS..."]:21

 

this line starts with 21: 

20        fibaro:call(device, "setProperty", "ui.Label"..i..".value", battLevel.." %")
21       if battLevel < 30 then

 

What can that be?

Ahoj,

Přidala jsem do svého zařízení několik baterií a rozhodla jsem se, že potřebuji nějaký typ baterie

Toto virtuální zařízení je spuštěno každých 6 hodin (pomocí programu @Sankotronic Main Scene Scheduler) a kontroluje nastavený počet zařízení napájených z baterie a pošle zprávu, pokud je baterie nižší než 30%

Využívá inteligentní komunikační Hub pro odesílání upozornění, ale může být snadno přizpůsoben pro použití e-mailu nebo popupu

 

Kromě 5 bateriových zařízení monitorovaných touto VD mám také 2 dálkové ovladače Minimote, ale protože nehlásí stav baterie, nemohl jsem je zahrnout

Vím, že existují nějaké vynikající scény a vd, které to dělají již. Držel jsem se mého velmi jednoduchého, protože to je to, co vyhovuje mým potřebám. 

Sdílejte jej, protože to může být užitečné pro některé vlastníky HC2

INSTRUKCE:

1. Importujte VD
2. Komentujte odkaz HomeTable, pokud ji nepoužíváte
3. Změňte seznam v tabulce devlistů
4. Změňte stav referenční úrovně baterie (řádek 19)
5. Změňte médium zasílání zpráv (řádek 21 a 29)
6. Podle potřeby upravte štítky

 

a to je vše..

@AutoFrank I'm having the same problem like Gasty. The VD will only show the first device of the table. What could be the problem? Can you give us a hint please?

Hi

 

The device list cannot be a list of hometable references.

The code is written to work with a list device id's similar to

If you have hometable references it get confused by the jT.xxxx.yyy reference as it loops through the devList Table

 

It is possible to modify the code to work with a list of hometable references but I haven't had the chance to evolve it to manage this.

Try changing it to a list of ID's and let me know if it works...

 

Thanks

Hi @AutoFrank ,

 

Could you please move this topic to the Downloads?

@AutoFrank

 I have been using your VD for a while now and I find it very useful. But I have 1 Danfoss lc13 the battery is almost empty, but he now indicates in the VD that he is 225%. I think this should be 25%. what guest is wrong?
