Battery Level Status

Pedro_Liberal · June 10, 2022, 5:45pm

Hey @rlkoshak , I’m probably dumb but… I’m having quite a bit of difficulty in getting this to work. Maybe it’s me not understanding how to use the mainUI? Can you give me a pointer or two?
This is what I see when I set up a battery item. And I don’t understand how I can add more battery items either… I added multiple battery level status widgets to try to work it out but it’s not working as I assume it should. I added four widgets at the top.
Can you recognize what I’m doing wrong? I read this message “ Required Group:Number:MIN Item that aggregates all the battery levels “ and I’m pretty sure that I’m not following this correctly, but on the other hand I don’t know what to do either… please help?

Edit: maybe I should get more sleep. XD I think I got it now

You define a Group Item of type Number in Settings → Items. Configure the Group with an aggregation function of MIN.

Add all of your battery Items as members of that Group.

Configure the widget to use the Group Item as the “Minimum Battery Item”. Any member of the Group that falls below the “Max Precent” will be shown.

Based on the configuration you provide, it will list all the members of the Group below the provided threshold.

One widget for all your batteries, not one widget per battery Item.

EDIT: @rlkoshak, I can see this bug fix is still missing?

It seems that displayState is never available in the loop? I get too many decimals:

Even though the pattern is specified for item, and displayState is available as standalone:

Running openHAB 3.3.0 release

Feature request: ability to customize/localize title text

rlkoshak · November 28, 2022, 3:20pm

It looks like I applied it to the title but not inside the repeater loop. It’s now in both places and there is a property for the title text.

ssalonen · November 28, 2022, 4:31pm

@rlkoshak same issue as in Service Status Standalone Widget - #7 by ssalonen – default parameter seems to break the addon, should be defaultValue? The widget cannot be installed anymore.

rlkoshak · November 28, 2022, 4:45pm

That makes it even weirder because this widget has always used default for the Number fields.

Maybe there is a mismatch between the importer parser and the widget editor.

I only changed the new property above. I left the number properties using “default”.

Still fails

Hmmm. This must be something that changed. I’ll update the Number fields too.

Done

ssalonen · November 28, 2022, 5:34pm

Thank you. Now it installs fine. I can also confirm that the bug with displayState is also resolved

nelson.aponte · December 27, 2022, 8:19pm

Is there a way to sort the list ascending by battery level or since it’s not possible the Minimum Battery Level is displayed at the top?
It seems like the list is sorted descending by item name.

rlkoshak · December 28, 2022, 4:46pm

The Minimum Battery Level is displayed at the top.

Not that I’m aware of.

JustinG · December 28, 2022, 8:20pm

Now that expressions support arrow functions, you can use the repeater map function to achieve pretty good sorting of objects on the basis of key values, but it will break the widget for anyone not at least using recent milestones.

rlkoshak · December 28, 2022, 8:56pm

The marketplace now supports Maven like version number ranges. So I could publish a new version and put [3.4.0;4.0.0) in the title and those on 3.4 will see the new sortable version and those on older version will see this one.

Extra question : my batteries Items are defined with just the label “Battery”.
So in the widget, i have many “Battery” entries, without knowing which item it is refering to …

DateTime              HueChambreCapteurLuminositeLastUpdated         "Dernière mise à jour"                   <time>           (gDevice_HueCapteurPresenceChambre)                                      {channel="hue:0106:001788b3f442:motion_chambre_light:last_updated"}
Number                HueChambreCapteurLuminositeBatteryLevel        "Niveau batterie"                        <battery>        (gDevice_HueCapteurPresenceChambre, gBatteries)    ["Battery"]                       {channel="hue:0106:001788b3f442:motion_chambre_light:battery_level"}
Switch                HueChambreCapteurLuminositeBatteryLow          "Batterie faible"                        <battery>        (gDevice_HueCapteurPresenceChambre)    ["LowBattery"]                    {channel="hue:0106:001788b3f442:motion_chambre_light:battery_low"}

So, of course, i could rename all the corresponding labels (but i have a lot of them…) - but isnt’ there an easier way (like configuring something allowing to display for text the "Parent object name) ?

rlkoshak · March 31, 2023, 2:08pm

There is some metadata that gets added to an item that is part of the semantic model, but I don’t know if it’s available in an oh-repeater card. I know there is some access to metadata but I don’t know how far that extends.

Because the label is used in so many other places I recommend making each item’s label unique anyway so I’ve never looked into it.

ssalonen · April 14, 2024, 2:55pm

Does this work properly with Number:Dimensionless?

component: widget:rlk_battery_status
config:
  max: 50
  minLevel: MinimumBattery
  title: Paristominimi

Results in

I would not expect to see to see these entries as the battery-% is above the threshold (50). Also the icon seems to be broken?

Example of one item

rlkoshak · April 14, 2024, 3:01pm

It should. All my battery levels are defined as such.

Are you missing unit metadata on these Items? If so the Item’s actual state is set to the unit ONE which is a simple ratio. 77 % = .77 ONE. That would explain the behavior.

ssalonen · April 14, 2024, 3:30pm

Thanks, that was it

After adding the unit=% to the items, it got fixed

DrRSatzteil · July 11, 2024, 7:16pm

I just discovered this great post by JustinG on how to sort an oh-repeater component: Order Action Group Item by state - #8 by JustinG

I adapted this for this great widget. To have your battery levels sorted you may use this added line in the oh-repeater config:

map: "loop.item_source.sort((x,y) => (x.state).localeCompare(y.state, undefined,
          { numeric: true }))[loop.item_idx]"
