SONOFF Smart Water Valve Battery always at 0%

Configuration
1

First let me note that I’m using ZHA and not Z2MQTT. My firmware says “up to date” and the latest/installed version is 0x00001003.

I’m using the SONOFF Zigbee dongle on Firmware: 8.0.2.0 build 397.

I changed the perfectly good batteries with new batteries and am still getting 0%. Any suggestions?

Hello FutureTense

Does it work?

Yes, well it appears to work.

Then the devise hardware may have changed and the value is no longer available to report to you. Likely nothing you can do.

Quite possible, however others have the same water valve and are not reporting a problem with the battery. I thought it might have been because I’m using ZHA but someone else is also using that and has 100% battery.

They change the hardware all the time. My latest ecowitt plant water sensor came without the hardware to tell me about the battery. The other 2 have it and don’t report 0m for instance.

lol! I wonder what those $15 things they sell on Temu are?
