    hello. i build an motion sensors that works great but if i select sensor type on domoticz like "motion sensor", the battery level from "devices" disappear. That only happens on "motion sensor type", if i select other like on/off type ,the level appears but than i can't use the "disable after x seconds" feature present only on motion sensor type.
    any one have this problem? i can't find if its an domoticz bug or mysensors , or what what happens
    code is bellow but i think it's ok because if i select other type of sensor ,on domoticz, battery status work good. .thanks.

    void setup()
    {
    	pinMode(DI_SENSOR1, INPUT);
    	//pinMode(DI_SENSOR2, INPUT); // sets the motion sensor digital pin as input
      analogReference(INTERNAL);
    }
    
    void presentation()
    {
    	// Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
    	sendSketchInfo("Motion Sensor", "1.0");
    
    	// Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
    	present(CHILD_ID, S_MOTION);
    }
    void loop()
    {
      int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
     float vBat  = static_cast<float>(sensorValue * (8.2/1023));
      
      #ifdef MY_DEBUG
        Serial.print("A0: ");
        Serial.println(sensorValue);
        Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
        Serial.println(vBat);
      #endif
        delay(500);
        int batteryPcnt =  static_cast<int>(((vBat-6)/(8.4-6))*100.);
        delay(500);
    
      // ((1e3+150)/150)*1.1 = Vmax = 8.43 Volts
       // 8.43/1023 = Volts per bit = ~0.00804
    
      #ifdef MY_DEBUG
           Serial.print("Battery percent: ");
        Serial.print(batteryPcnt);
        Serial.println(" %");
      #endif
       if (oldBatteryPcnt != batteryPcnt)  {
            // Power up radio after sleep
            
            sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
            oldBatteryPcnt = batteryPcnt;
            }
    
     //motion 
    
        bool tripped = digitalRead(DI_SENSOR1) == HIGH;
    
    
          Serial.println(tripped);
         send(msg.set(tripped?"1":"0"));
    
        sleep(digitalPinToInterrupt(DI_SENSOR1), RISING, 0);
    }
    

    i'm a arduino fan .Even sometimes don't undestanding how to use it :P

      I have 2 motion sensors on Domoticz, and they both show the battery level.
      Maybe it is because your level doesn't get sent often enough. I do send a battery level every 30 minutes even if the value hasn't changed (which is way too often. But, I am still experimenting with these nodes.)
      Or, maybe it has to do with the Domoticz version. My Domoticz version is 2020.2

        My version it's V4.11207 .I can't upgrade more without upgrade Os from "strecht"to new raspbian Os. Shouldn't be the sensor update frequency because if i go to domoticz now and just change sensor type to" on/off switch" ,battery level just appears there on debices.
        I think that i have to upgrade everyting...Os and domoticz but its a pain,because i have to pair zwave devices from shutters again...and probably new bugs appear.... My thought is;linux that work...don't touch 😝

          I know what you mean.
          I have several Pi's. I upgraded them from Stretch to Buster using instructions found here https://pimylifeup.com/upgrade-raspbian-stretch-to-raspbian-buster/

          I only got the courage to ugrade my domoticz server after having upgraded 3 others first with no problems.
          But it did work.

            On a new card i updated OS to Raspian Buster and installed latest domoticz V 2.2020. BUT the problem still the same . no battery value present soon as this sensor report a new "data" AND it's as motion sensor and not as any other type of sensor. If it works to others i really don't understand what happens...:confounded:
