Battery Level of ZWave Devices

[StormStrikes (Scotty)]

Is there a way to report the battery level of the various zwave devices?

VeraPlus, SmartThings, and Nexia all did so but I have not seen that in HA. I did not see anything in OZWCP that stood out to me so I assume there is some kind of polling going on that gets a report on the battery level.

Look at this and see if it helps you; This is what I ended up using and am happy with it.

Script to track all devices with a battery_level

I like this as I wanted to see the battery levels of my door sensors and you did warn that it would create multiple sensors. However, for some reason I cannot hide the extra sensors. I created lines for each of them in my customize.yaml but they still appear. I’m not getting any errors or anything in the log either. sensor.backd_access_control_7_9_battery: hidden: true sensor.backd_alarm_level_7_1_battery: hidden: true sensor.backd_alarm_type_7_0_battery: hidden: true sensor.backd_applian…

That looks about perfect! Just one question the custom_components/battery_state.py, does that go in /home/hass/.homeassistant or in the /home/hass/deps folder?

Thanks for the link @Corey_Johnson

Make a folder for: /home/hass/.homeassistant/custom_components and then save battery_state.py in it.
