Battery level in rules or chart? [Script Rule to check battery level]

[DaTTcz]

Hello, how can I work with an item Battery level? How do I keep track of battery usage nodes? It's going to add to the rules? It could based on the condition of batteries to generate rules for individual nodes? I Can add another item to the sensor, but why send another same item. thank you for the advice

@DaTTcz For now direct battery support not available on Rules. However you can do it from script. I will update how to handle with script.

Kindly create a request on github page to support battery level on rules.

ALL these features are available on SNAPSHOT build

Enter your condition via script,

Steps:

• Create UID Tag for your node,
• Create script to check node battery level (script type: Condition)
• Create rule with this condition script
• Enjoy

Create UID Tag:

Add script:

Java Script to check battery level,

var myImports = new JavaImporter(java.io, java.lang, java.util, java.text);

with(myImports) {
  var mcResult = false; //By default this is false. When your condition meets change this to true
  var batteryLevel = mcApi.uidTag().getByUid("node1").resource.batteryLevel;
  if(batteryLevel >= 50){ // Your condition
     mcResult = true;
  }
}

Add rule:

@jkandasa I'm using the 0.0.3.Final-SNAPSHOT - does this mean I dont need to create a script like above but find a rule/condition about battery levels of nodes? If so, I cannot find that, but I am currently using your script example, which works, but is of course a little cumbersome compared to another option of using a node's battery level directly somewhere in the rules panel...
