Overview

Several pieces of equipment in today’s technology run on battery power, and until now there wasn’t a useful way to monitor battery levels. With the Battery Agent driver customers can easily and conveniently check battery levels on any battery-powered device using an icon on their Control4 interface.

Based on years of analyzing battery information from different sources, Cindev has crafted a unique battery monitoring system designed to simplify battery status information and alerts.  Manufacturers handle battery data differently.  Some are standard percentage, some by voltage and others by status messages like failure is imminent!  With the Battery Agent, customers can use a single driver to monitor all these different kinds of battery devices.  

Notifications:

  Getting the right alert to the right person is difficult at times.  The Cindev Agent Bundle is designed to streamline alerts and provide better management of those alerts.  The Battery Agent has two main alert types:

LOW - 

  This alert is sent after a monitored battery device is in a low battery state for 5 consecutive scans.  All low battery alerts are sent at the same time reducing over alerting.  Alert default notifications are:

  • Push notification via the Control4 MyHome App.

NORMAL -

  This alert is sent after all monitored batteries have returned to normal or alerts have been cleared.  

  • Push notification via the Control4 MyHome App.

 

Features
- Simple Battery Monitoring system for Control4
- WebUI (iPhone, iPad, Android, Control4 T3/T4 Touchscreens) dashboard
- Scan/Clear battery alerts
- Automatic email/text creating and emailing when a battery is low
- Drivers added to project that have batteries are automatically added to the driver.
- Part of the Cindev Notification Suite
- Supports Cindev Trial and Showroom license
