ZWave Battery Question

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hello Everybody,

i have several Z-Wave devices with battery that are running quite some time. What worries me a is the percentage of the battery.

My devices:
5 Fibaro Smoke detectors ( FGSD-002 ) running for almost a year now
1 Fibaro Door/Window contact running for half a year now

All of them report 100% battery capacity. Especially the value of smoke detectors seems a bit unrealistic for me.

Am I missing some specific setting?
Habmin shows the devices still online, so they are communicating with the controller and I surely do not have some nuclear powered batteries.

Setting the log level of the zwave binding shows me that the devices report 100% (this is from one of the smoke detectors

OpenHab is 2.2 (Openhabian 1.4) with the Z-Wave binding and a Razberry on Raspberry 3

I’ve seen reported that many zwave devices sadly report 100 up until they die and report 0 as their final message. This may be one of those.

Ok, i’ve an update according this. Maybe it helps for other users.
Since today one of my sensors reported 90% (my first Fibaro Smoke Detectors).
So it seems to work, and maybe the battery lasts really long.
