Battery life LOL

This should be an easy fix, ZigBee devices send battery voltage instead of % like Z-Wave devices. This to me means that the threshold for upper/lower voltage aren’t defined correctly in the ZigBee DTH. I had a look at the DTH it’s using a custom call to the platform API parseSmartThingsBatteryValue to convert the voltage to battery

Tagging @tpmanley

What DTH is it? I checked zigbee.parseSmartThingsBatteryValue and it doesn’t look like it should return a value below 1

I was looking at the Garge door multi sensor. @mejifair and @rontalley can confirm what DTH their devices are using.

SmartThings Motion Sensor:

ST%20Motion

SmartThings Multi Sensor:

ST%20Multi

Ironically, sensor finally died on the 12th…

That’s a custom handler that probably doesn’t use the standard zigbee battery parsing. You can switch it to the smartsense open/closed and I’m guessing the battery % will be fixed and it will run local.

Just switched out the battery and noticed that it did not update nor is reading activity such as open closed.

Also went to the recent activity and there has been activity in the last couple of days.

Wander if this has anything to do with the recent firmware update?
