All my motion sensors are Samsung Smartthings motion sensors v3. Using the "Generic Zigbee Motion Sensor" driver.
Some are not reporting battery level properly, whilst others are.
Eg:
This one doesn't seem to report correctly:
| Name | Value | Unit | Description Text | Source | Type | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| battery | 87 | % | Boot room motion sensor battery is 87% | DEVICE | 2019-02-21 03:51:06.279 AM GMT | |
| battery | 100 | Generic Zigbee Motion Sensor battery is 100% | DEVICE | 2018-12-05 08:00:33.332 PM GMT |
The battery ran out today, replaced the battery, but no report of battery level being at 100%. Note how the last battery level report was in February last year. It has been reporting temperature properly.
This one reports correctly, battery also replaced, but last week:
| Name | Value | Unit | Description Text | Source | Type | Date |

| battery | 87 | % | Kitchen motion sensor battery is 87% | DEVICE | 2019-07-16 05:24:55.232 PM BST | |
| battery | 100 | Kitchen motion sensor battery is 100% | DEVICE | 2018-12-06 08:24:08.290 PM GMT |
I'm seeing the same behaviour in my other Samsung Smartthings motion sensors too. Any ideas why some report the battery level correctly and others don't?
