Personally, I use Device Watchdog to let me know when devices have stopped responding. I still would rather see the battery levels reported in a column on the Devices page. I don't know how the device can report a low battery if the voltage I see being reported is well above any reasonable cut-off.Įdit: I have deleted and recreated the notification without the restriction and with a higher threshold level for reporting. It may be that the battery level just isn't reporting correctly from the buttons since the number I saw was around 90% but the batteries were essentially dead. I'm not so sure about the Iris V2 devices though. This was with a Lithium CR2 battery on an Iris V1 device.
I only see options for "Between two times" which has selections for Specific Time, Sunrise, and Sunset for Start and End times "Only on certain days of the week," and "Only when mode is."Īs for events, I have seen the battery levels on some devices (particularly, my wife's key fob) bounce back and forth between above the cut-off and below the cut-off. I don't see an option for "wait" in the restrictions of the notification app. Personally, I only monitor device activity (a bit less proactive but definitely no false positives ). You may try the suggestion above to raise the threshold but might have to experiment with what works best for each device.
This is for various reasons: some are just bad at reporting (e.g., too infrequent) and some just have a hard time predicting percentage of life due to non-linear lithium cell discharge rates. Regarding the above post, I'll repeat my advice that battery reporting tends to be unreliable. You can verify some of this by checking the event history on your device. Whether this happens depends on how often your device sends battery reports (and if anything actually changed) and possibly on whether it survived long enough to report outside the period again (probably would, but who knows).
(One happening during the restriction won't cause a notification on its own when the restriction period ends.) If it never gets another battery report, you won't get anything. The docs aren't clear and we can't see the source, but my guess is that you will not get a notification if an event happens inside your "restricted" period-another battery event would need to happen when it's "OK," and then you'd get a notification. Would the notifier not then report the battery level low during the time period set? Before I set up the time restriction, (admittedly, on the other hub with the Iris V1 devices), it was nagging me about a low battery level.
