A ZEN34 was putting out a lot of Battery 100% messages this morning. This was strange, because I noticed that the batteries had started to go somewhat low on that device. Replaced batteries, back to normal. Replaced batteries, C2032, were around 3.02 volts, whereas the new ones are 3.33. [image…

When a battery is nearly dead, the RF signals from the device are likely to be garbled. Thus, there is no telling what kind of data the hub might receive. Remember that battery levels are seldom accurate. If the device is designed to use standard AA alkaline batteries, the discharge voltage will de…

I wonder what's a good number to choose. I had it at 10%. Just bumped it to 20%. Maybe 30% ? As a side note, the device still worked, but for how long, who knows?

Like I said, it depends on the nature of the application. If the application is critical, select a higher number. If it is non-critical, leave it at 10%.

I usually just wait for the device to stop working and get picked up by my setup in the Device Activity Checker app. I watch when the battery gets low for it to stop working. Probably the only things I would replace just off low battery is the Ecolink Firefighter, garage door sensor, and locks (if I…

@velvetfoot are you using lithium ion or alkaline batteries?

I believe CR2032 are always lithium.

Yes, there are some devices that do not routinely check in with the hub. One such device is leak detectors. I have leak detectors under each sink and toilet, and at several places in the basement. If one of the leak detectors triggers, Hubitat will send a signal to my main water cutoff valve to clos…

Not my app, but highly recommended. I would consider this an essential app if you have battery devices especially. I even have it setup on switches in case any of them lock up.
