All the battery powered hardware shows now battery unknown or other battery. No CR2032 or similar anymore. When I started with Homey Pro before 3 weeks it does show the correct battery type. Maybe it has lost the battery type with update 12.3.1
Does anyone have the same issue ?
Thanks for pointing to the issue. All Aqara devices (zigbee) show unknown battery type. Others, here zWave devices display the correct type. Can’t say whether it’s an aqara or a zigbee issue.
Probably a zigbee issue. Have no Aqara products. But Philips Hue without bridge, Bosch Smart Home via matter, Marmitek. The Hue and the Marmitek Sensor I’m sure they showed the right battery type.
My Aqara devices using Matter and Thread do not show the battery type. Also, they all (three at this time) always show 100% battery. One of those devices has been installed for a year and the other two for six months. I can’t believe they are really at 100% battery charge.
They are the P2 Window Sensor and the P2 Motion and Light Sensor.

Possible that the battery via matter always show 100 % or low for change. My Bosch via matter only reports “ok”, no percentage of the load.
Installed a new zigbee device today. A frient motion sensor pro. Here the correct type 2x AA is shown and load set to OK. Maybe it is solved with Firmware 13.3.2 . Have to test it with the older devices, if a reconnect helps.
Tested this now with a Marmitek Water Sensor. Repair didn’t help. Delete and new installion solved this issue. The correct battery type is shown again. Perfect.
A Homey SW update cleared the Energy object defining which batteries are used.
SW version 12.3.1 resolved the cause of this issue but does not recover from it.
Users should either re-add the devices (but then they loose the history / insights) alternatively app developers could implement a fix that will re-instate the energy object… but that will require an app update…
