Get the battery level

Returns how much battery a BoT tag has left, and whether BoT is flagging it as needing a charge. It also returns when the tag last reported: a reading that keeps getting older is itself a sign that the tag has already died. Pair it with the clock trigger and a rule on 'Needs charging' to be warned before it runs out.

Output data

Information provided

When executed, this operation delivers the following data, which can be used in the same automatic task.

  • Tags

  • Tag id {{device_id}}

  • Tag name {{device_name}}

  • Battery (%) {{battery_level}}

    Charge left, from 0 to 100. Put a rule on this value to be warned early, for example below 20.

  • Needs charging {{needs_charge}}

    Yes when BoT itself is flagging the tag as needing a charge. It is BoT's own warning, so it fires late; for an early warning use the percentage instead.

  • Reading date (UTC) {{updated_at}}

  • Reading date (epoch) {{updated_ts}}

  • Minutes since the reading {{minutes_ago}}

    How old the reading is. Once the tag is out of battery it stops reporting, so this number keeps growing while the battery level stays frozen at its last value.
