Introducing battery status in TelldusLive

In an upcoming server upgrade we're starting to show this in Telldus Live! for sensors reporting it to TellStick Net.

Good - Highly appreciated Feature.

I am also waiting for a "Signal Strength" or "Signal Quality" indicator.

Some sensors dissaperars - and the reason migh be general signal quality, due to bad position or bad sensor quality..
In order to place the sensor optimally - a readout of the received signal quality of the Tellstic DUO/NET would be to great help..

Fint at dette batteritilstand kommer med GUI på Live!

I min Live! har jeg kun fått opp dette på to sensorer, selv om jeg har mange tilsynelatende like senorer CO 36-1797 - alle merket EPIC. Alle i lista som viser hygro er samme type ( de andre er Viking)
Noen som vet hvorfor jeg ikke får opp alle?

Jeg har 21 stk. av dem, kjøpt over flere år, og alle viser status. Da er vel ikke produksjonsdato av betydning.

Er det mulig å resette innlesing av sensorene på noen måte slik at de kommer opp mot tro?

Seems this depend on type of transmitting protocol.
None of mine Viking-sensors and nor Multisensor Mk2 from FooGadgtes do show battery status.
As far as I can see, both of these are using protocol FineOffset.
May be FineOffset protocol not have support of battery status.

Old sensor board from FooGadgtes (using Mandolyn protocol, same as ESIC) is ok.

My Oregon and Esic sensors seems ok.

From Telldus
http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2015/2 : Many sensor models report their battery status (for example Oregon Scientific and Mandolyn).

Får heller ikke opp batt status for mine mandolyn sensorer, inkl nevnte CO sensor.

EDIT: snakker om sola, nå dukket de plutselig opp her

da er det vel bare å bruke api for å lage seg en varsling til email

Some ting wierd has happened. All my ESIC sensors has started to report battery status exept from one. Magic Telldus? ☺

All of you should read a little more carefully:
http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2015/2
"This is a slow rollout, so you'll see the battery status depending on if the server your TellStick Net currently is connected to is updated or not."

As @arneolav say, the fineoffset-protocol used in viking and foogadgets do not have any data field in the protocol that support battery status.

The mandolyn protocol that is used in Esic (and early WMS called esic_clone) have one bit allocated. Thus it can show battery full or empty. Nothing in between.

Starting yesterday, one home-built "fine offset clones" ver. 0.6, using the DS18B20 sensor reported humidity=0%. Previously the humidity value reported an indication of the battery level, (roughly 55%). I breadboarded another sensor just to rule out any HW problems, and got the same result.
The temperature value is working OK.
Funny enough, another sensor in another installation/Net still reports the battery value in percent.
Any comments from the designer?
