Fibaro motion sensor - Battery indicator

[Stony 1]

Last night I got push messages that the battery level of this sensor is straight at 0%. Was at 100% yesterday. It seems to still work just fine now - its reporting like normal.

The preview (attached) shows a "255%" battery level .... hm, pretty weird. Any ideas?

255 - it is specific battery level from ZW perspective (critical).
It should not be presented that way in the UI, it should be just 0% here - small bug.

Yeah, but why show 100% yesterday and today then 0%. And all seems to work (at least measure points are being delivered).

it means that battery dropped during measurement, it is tricky to measure it and it will happen sometimes.

If you remove the battery for few seconds and place it again, it will read the voltage again - probably battery is "on edge" at this point.

Thanks for the advice! Did that and it shows 36% now.

So, the battery is almost dead

"Almost" ... still 1/3 ... but after abt. only good 5 month from installation .... 😬

How it is configured? Wake Up interval? Reports of luminosity and temperature? Motion sensor cancellation?

Basically, those live at least 2 years in typical solution if parameters are not altered - did you change something in the parameters?
Device is associated directly with other modules in network?

All standard parameters, no changes. Device is directly connected to HC3 - even the closest one near the hub (less than 3m).

Probably faulty battery. It can happen.

Then I have a lot of "faulty" batteries.

In my case it is often thermostats...Eurotronics, a few days and they are empty but stil works fore month after.

I also heve some problems with other battery items.

There is some problems with the battery measurement.

Any help here ?

Last time on delivery of 10x ER14250, all empty. So you can be unlucky.
