FGMS001 - Battery Level Updates

Hi,
I have 6 Fibaro FGMS001 multi sensors on my system and none of them seem to report battery level correctly. They all seem to show 100% until they run out at which point they might show 75% (or similar) but stop reporting and are actually out of batteries. Once I replace the battery it all works fine and shows as 100% battery level again. Wake interval is set to 30mins for all.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Mike

Re: FGMS001 - Battery Level Updates

Indigo will request the battery level once a day when the module wakes, so since you have the wake period set to 30 minutes it is definitely being requested by Indigo. Unfortunately, the battery level reporting for lots of modules can be widely inaccurate.

I second what Matt says re accuracy. I have a ZTS MBT-1 battery tester which I find quite reliable. Many of my battery powered Z Wave sensors report battery levels that are essentially useless.
