Battery level, Ecolink Flood/Freeze Sensor

[BobM99]

Since I can't find the Insteon sensors I used to use, I am brand new to Z-Wave, so please forgive this basic question, as I am not quite "getting it." This battery-operated sensor is supposed to be able to report the battery level. Is it possible to get this notification at a specified frequency, like daily or weekly?

The manual says this:

Wake-Up Notification The sensor will wake up every so often and when the case is closed to send a Wake-Up Notification to allow the life line master node controller that the sensor is now available for any queued messages that the controller may have for the sensor. The time between Wake-Up Notifications can be configured with the WakeUp Notification command class to be between 1 hour and 1 week with interval steps of 200 seconds. The sensor will also send a wakeup notification whenever the case is closed.

Thanks for any help.

I'm trying the same thing but not too proficient in Zwave yet.  The Ecolink tech support folks told me the following about sending wakeup notifications:  As for the wake up notification I think the issue you are seeing may be in part because the wake up notification command class needs to be expressed in interval steps of 200 seconds (minimum 1 hour) ie "00 0E 10". 

I set up a variable for the sensor battery level, something like:  $sOutsideWHBatt. So my program so far looks like this:

 

IF

        Time is  8:00:00AM 

THEN

         Set 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Wakeup interval 1 hour

        Set 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Query

        $sOutsideWHBatt  = 'Leak Sensors / Outside WH LD / ZW 005 Notify Sensor' Battery Level %

I'm still having communication issues with the Ecolink devices so I'm not sure it's working properly yet.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
