Cinegration Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Major Update to driver (Version 1010)! This is a must have driver for any home with battery devices. Never wonder if your QMotion or Yale doorlocks have enough charge before leaving on a trip. Simple on screen display. :: Added Experience Button to GUI. Customer now has an icon on all their Control4 UI's that will let you know if there is a low battery present. :: Added More drivers to be monitored. :: Added Current Battery State request. Want to see the current status of ALL your battery devices right now? From either the Control4 TV GUI or Touchscreen, just press the battery icon. A report containing the current states will pop up. :: Updated Auto Setup. When driver is first installed, driver will automatically find all devices it can monitor and setup GUI notifications automatically. Because a proxy was added, you must delete the old driver and install this one in place. Auto Update will NOT work for this update.

Verhy cool idea! Any work on SR260 battery levels being inaccurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegration Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 The way the Sr260's works with batteries is: When you 'request' from either ComposerPro (by clicking on the driver in system design then waking it up), or from the remote itself (list, settings, config, battery levels), the 'level' will be sent to director. Director then informs our driver of the current level. We simply subscribe to this variable so unfortunately, that's as good as we can get it with the sr devices. It's a limitation on the hardware side as they don't 'transmit' their battery level when woken up. They 'could' but that would be up to C4 to do that.

msgreenf Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I assume this doesn't work on the mobile app as I get no popup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegration Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 HC250, HC800, T2, T3 touchscreens do the popup. iPhones... no, you can't do a 'popup' on those. I'm looking to see if we can use the Push Notification for these, but didn't get it into this release. The 'icon' will show on the iphone. ~ eggzlot and msgreenf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegration Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Also, driver is compatible with 2.9.1. Made sure of that as many customers won't be able to go to 2.10 without hardware updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveControl Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 So I have the Drivecentral Cloud driver set to auto update, I have forced a update and rebooted my controller, my battery driver still sits at 1009.... I am on 2.10. Something special I should be doing to get it to update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyC Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have a question/need some help. My dealer installed the newest version (1010) and it is working generally. However, I have 3 Kwikset locks that are reporting battery levels of n/a. I also have 3 axxess motion sensors that are now showing up but the battery levels aren't being reported. We even updated the axxess to the latest version of their driver. Reboots. Updated C4 to the latest sub-version. Reboots. Nothing. Screen shots attached. Any suggestions are appreciated...

Cinegration Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi, Some devices (Axxess and Kwikset) do not report 'level' to the Control4 system. They only 'report' when they've reached a low level. Thus, the current 'level' is N/A or not applicable. The next release we will change N/A to be OK. Thanks!

JEC Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Is the Battery Agent still actively supported? Are there alternatives to consider (besides programing every notification)? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDad Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Any news on the battery level driver (?) that we briefly saw previewed in one of the 3.24 release videos ?? ERDrPC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam333 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I tried the battery notifier built into composer. The problem I have is that I use rechargeable batteries (NiMH)The voltage is slightly less than alkaline batteries. So composer would send me notifications that the batteries were low. Would this paid driver work with rechargeable batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
