Battery sensor always shows 100%

[dodg3r]

Hi.

Yesterday my blue connect device stopped working. It´s totaly dead and doesnt respond at all. I think my battery is dead. My batterysensor hasnt change from 100% for about two years and it still says 100%.

Although my sensor is dead it still says "awake" When my values are more than 2 days old, shouldnt it be stated as N/A.

I implemented the battery sensor without ever being able to test it.

Could you enable debugging with this environment variable, and copy in the response from BlueRiiot?

It will show me what the values are, so I know what to expect.. :)

LoggingMinimumLevelOverride__MBW.Client.BlueRiiotApi: Verbose

Yes. But now the sensor is offline and I have to change battery. Then I suppose it will report 100% battery with a new battery installed.

[LordMike]

Was this after the battery was replaced?

It should have been possible to get a response from the API, even with the sensor offline.

[dodg3r]

Sorry. I haven't bought a new battery yet. This log is when my device still is offline.

[LordMike]

In your logs, there's this:

{
    "data": [{
            "user_id": "eu-west-1:cb8906b8-211b-4b48-9c7f-ff93ab1594e0",
            "role": "IS_OWNER",
            "blue_device": {
                // ....
                "battery_low": false, <--- Battery is "not low".. 
                "sigfox_geoloc": ...
            },
            "blue_device_serial": "..."
        }
    ]
}

[LordMike]

Oh cool - then the value is useless..

What does the blue riiot app say?

[dodg3r]

It says that the readings is 3 days old. I have no history graph and no contact with the sensor.

[dodg3r]

Where does your battery sensor gets its values from. Or is the value just a true/false value?

[LordMike]

I believe it's just this boolean true/false - I mapped false to 100% and true to something like 20%.

But if it's useless, I'll just remove the sensor.

... the app shows nothing with regards to battery? :|

[dodg3r]

No not what I can see. In blueriiot manual it says that the device makes a sound when there is low battery but I didn't notice any sound.

[LordMike]

Well - I'll remove the battery sensor - and see if I can improve the unavailability of the sensors instead.. If the device is "awake", it should report in 20-ish times a day, so if it doesn't - that's bad.

[dodg3r]

Yeah. Thanks for your great work. 👍

[dodg3r]

Hi

I talked to blueriiot support and they said that they are working on a low battery warning but couldn't say when it is ready.

[LordMike]

Great.. Now at least we know it's completely useless :D
