Zwave garage door opener battery

Is there a way to trigger a rule based on the Battery Value, I see it recorded in the log, I just can tfigure how to access value from within rule machine

IF it is available, it will be under "Custom Attribute" where you can then select which of the attributes you want.

While a custom attribute trigger can work, there shouldn't be any need given that "Battery" is a built-in option:

If you need more help, I'd suggest sharing a plain-language description of what you're actually trying to do. Good luck!

Though it shows up in the generic drivers log as being low it does not show up in batteries or custom attribute.

This is using the Generic zwave garage door opener driver

Does it show as an attribute on the device page?

No, it only shows in events. And it cleared and stoppped showing up when I replaced the battery

Yeah, unless it shows as an attribute, I don't know of a way to get it on the tile. Perhaps try a different driver? (don't forget to click save then configure when changing)

As suggested I went hunting for a new driver (since I am not good enuff to write my own). Found
this :
name: "Z-Wave Garage Door Controller",
namespace: "heidrickla",
author: "Lewis.Heidrick",

On Github, It works perfect with my garage door opener
