Temperature/humidity sensor: incorrect battery level reading?

Hello,

I am noticing abnormal behavior from at least two of my ambient sensors (temperature and humidity); I changed the batteries yesterday for one of them, and for the other a long time ago (6 months …). Here is what the gauge and graph objects report:

Can you check what is causing this erroneous display and how to fix it?

Thank you,
Jean

Hi @jean_bruder,

I’m not sure I understand what’s wrong with your screenshot — could you explain the issue to me?

Hello @pierre-gilles

The left sensor (Awning Probe) should display a level close to 100% (batteries new as of the day before yesterday), while the right sensor (Terrace Probe) should display a very low level (batteries need replacing). The fact that both the gauges and the graphs show 87% is not consistent: we should be close to 100% on the left and close to 0% on the right.

Have a nice day,
Jean

What kind of sensor is it? What technology?
You should check what the sensors return in zigbee2mqtt if they’re Zigbee sensors, for example.

Then you talk about batteries

Good evening @_Will_71
The sensors are the following: Tuya TH02Z control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT On the Zigbee2MQTT side, the battery level values now show 100% — they are new, but I’ll see this weekend about replacing them with some old discharged ones on just one of the two sensors, to compare what is reported…

Good evening @spenceur
I will indeed check what is reported on the Z2M and Gladys side, and can share it with you :slight_smile:

Have a good evening :slight_smile:

Hello,

Apparently, for the same-looking sensor, they are actually two different references (model numbers), and also two different behaviors… For one, the values are reported correctly; for the other, humidity and temperature are more or less correct, but not the battery level?! I will disassemble two models with different references under Z2M to determine whether the hardware actually differs… More in the next instalment
