'wrong' battery status of Fibaro door sensor after 7.1?

Hi,
I have upgraded to 7.1.0 recently. After that I had to re-sync all my Fibaro door sensors (FGK-10x). They are all working fine now. However, all of them now report a battery status of 100%, without having replaced the batteries at the re-sync. This is too good to be true, as they tend to eat up the battery quite a bit. Is the new version possibly parsing a wrong value?
Thanks,
Andreas

Can you turn on Zwave debug or my Zwave Watcher Plugin pointing at this node, then copy paste the log when a battery status is received?

Unfortunately the Fibaro is reporting 100% so that’s what Indigo is reporting.
The 7th block of code there says .... 80 03 64 ... which is Battery Report: 100 (64 in Hex is 100 in Decimal)

Battery level reporting can be wildly inaccurate (and flat out wrong) from some modules. It seems to be just a really buggy area of the firmware/hardware for a lot of manufactures.

ok - thanks. I guess I will find out about empty batteries the old fashioned way then

I make good use of the Timed Devices plugin for this.
I think it’s a lifetime timer, set to 12 hours each.
Whenever it sees anything from the Sensor - motion, Battery update or wakeup - the timer resets.
If it gets to zero, there’s been no activity in 12 hours (or whatever’s appropriate for each Sensor).
