Popp smoke detector always shows 100% for battery charge even though the battery is empty

Post by dantoine »

Hello, with my Popp smoke detectors 004001 the battery indicator does not work under razberry Z-Way. It is always 100% displayed, although the battery is only 25% full according to a measurement and the smoke detector already indicates an acoustic warning for the empty battery. What can I do to get a correct battery charge display in Z-Way?

Try to make an explicit request (for example in Expert UI press in Config-uration->Expert Commands -> Battery Get and wake up the device). If the report will be 100%, it is a problem of the device, not Z-Way

Hello,

The Popp smoke detector is not able to display the current battery status. It only indicates full or when the battery is discharged. However, the detector signals itself 1 month before the battery is empty.
