Battery status does not show in Domoticz

[mfalkvidd]

Domoticz (v3.6179) shows 133% for one of my sensors so it can handle out of range.

Thanks for replies.
Yes it can handle out of range. My weather sensor works just fine with 120% :-)

Where would you start digging for the reason? A log file I can check?

look in domoticz log and see if value is actually received

[edsteve]

That's another question i have since a while now:
How can i change the domoticz log to more debugging details? Hard to find that information. I can't find any values in the standard-log.

@edsteve - I dont know if there is an easy way but the hard one is to compile the code youself for Domoticz and insert any output/debug you want...

@edsteve

From Domoticz forum > if you edit /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh you can do this:

DAEMON_ARGS="-daemon -www 8080 -log /home/pi/log/domoticz.log -loglevel 0"

Just don't forget to put back the original config as the log file would grow quite a lot

@gohan
I also have that info from the domoticz forum and i tried it. Tailing the new log file... still no more details. I give up...
Maaaybe... when i have motivation again i will try to read about @sunberg84 solution. But i am just not a linux expert.

Grml... never like it to live with an unsolved problem. But thx for the effort everyone.

Here is the link to the domoticz forum about the logging problem

[gohan]

try changing the node ID to a number you never used.

@edsteve according to domoticz api data battery is measured in a rang of 0-225? wouldnt percentage send cause issueS?

[sundberg84]

@markjgabb - I always recalculate the battery into % which is shown great in DOmoticz. I guess you can go up to 225 but if you like but thats not a problem if you convert it to %

[markjgabb]

fair enough...i havent done battery sensors before...i was just looking at the API earlier where it pointed out sending in that range so thought it might be in that sort of area obviously domoticz is smart enough to realize its been passed the percentage anyway

[sundberg84]

@markjgabb - could be Domticz can recalculate... dont know to be honest. I have always sent 0-100. Let me know if you find anything more clever :)

Sorry guys. Not at home lately. I will report if and what solved my problem when i am back.
