danbutter Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 This seems like a simple thing, but I can't get it to work. Running 5.0.2. Kwikset lock. I DO get notified when I enter a certain pin on this lock, but for some reason the battery level doesn't work for me. I tried: IF Status (old) lock = 40% battery level THEN send notification to me ELSE nothing I tested the notification and it works fine and I get lots of others from ISY. No issue there. So I figured that maybe the ISY never sees the exact number of 40% and changed it to <=40% Saved the program and waited. Nothing. I queried the lock. ISY says it is locked and at 30% battery. So Am I missing something or?? Any thoughts? Thanks
andyf0 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Until the battery status changes from the 30% you observe the program will not trigger, so you'll have to wait until it goes below 30% (or above). Edited September 23, 2016 by andyf0
danbutter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Even though I have the program looking for less than or equal to 40% and the ISY can see the battery at 30%?
giesen Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Even though I have the program looking for less than or equal to 40% and the ISY can see the battery at 30%?The ISY is event-based. It only does something when an event takes place (ie. something changes) Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
danbutter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Ok. Now I'm following. I guess I'll have to wait it out to see if the less than or equal change made the difference. Thanks for the explanation guys!

danbutter Posted September 23, 2016 Author Posted September 23, 2016 Well I took out and added new batteries and then put the old ones back in and it finally worked. I guess the key was the <= since it likely never reported the exact number of 40%. Thanks to all who chimed in!
