Battery Info for ISY z-wave devices

[firstone]

Anyway it could be displayed/fetched? @shbatm, would it be hard to add if it's not currently available?

Are you asking about battery status for z-wave devices?

[firstone]

Yes, specifically I'd like to see battery level for z-wave door locks exposed through eisy integration (rather than directly added to HA z-wave integration)

Z-Wave lock battery levels show up for me as a sensor in HA.

Isy's lock "ZY 091 Front Door Lock" battery status shows as "sensor.zy_091_front_door_lock_battery_level" in HA.

I am on the HACS beta version of the ISY integration, so YMMV.

Which brand/model do you have? I have Schlage connect and don't have that node in ISY or HA. ISY does show battery level in the main node only.

I had Schlage connect previously and the battery levels were coming through.

I currently use Yale Assure locks, with the 700 series Z-Wave modules.

It's possible the separate sensor was added when I switch to the HACS version of ISY integration, but there was some sort of battery info available before that. I switched to the HACS version to fix an issue with lock batteries showing up in Homekit as 0% (though they were correct in HA), and have not had any issues with it.

I've updated to HACS version and see battery level as an attribute on the locks. Not sure if built in version doesn't have it or just didn't pay attention. It would be nice to have battery in its own entity so it could be displayed in glance card but I guess it's consistent with how icy shows it.
