šŸ™‚ OK is always there on the null devices, when you change from battery alarm to accuniveu in homey app it will show you no information. This is what is causing null%. It just canā€™t read it. I have 2 Xiaomi / Aqara doorsensors with round edges that donā€™t work, a friend of mine has the same devices but with the less round edges and they show battery information just fine. ---

The dashboards checks for a measure\_battery capability and if itā€™s there it takes the value of that capability. Can you go to [developer.athom.com](http://developer.athom.com) logon and then go to [https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices](https://developer.athom.com/tools/devices) Then filter for the devices that show null, scroll down and look at the capabilites, it should look a bit like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/63e1781059cd8e2db33ad04c59036e16e6ad1f21.png) Also please post what brand/types the devices are. ---

The sensor alarm (orange exclamation mark) is to show there is -a- device in alarm state. It triggers on any device, not just the ones in your favorites. The battery alarm is shown when any measure\_battery value is below 20. Unfortunately some devices seem to have a measure\_battery capability but have no value and some devices have a measure\_battery capability but are actually mains powered (like the Ring Pro) The dashboard just shows the information thatā€™s in Homey, I will see how I (and if) I can easily filter devices that act wrong. What browser are you using btw? It looks ok for me in Safari and Chrome, is that Firefox? ---

@Its_Me I have it running on my Synology. In the web directory, I created a new directory named homey-ink. I placed the extracted files in there.

Those devices should show a battery value if Iā€™m not mistaken. But battery status and alarms were added later to the (Xiamoi Aqara) app so it could be you added those devices before the app was capable of retrieving the information. Is it to much trouble to remove the device and re-add it? (You will have to fix your flows) I will see if I can filter out devices that have a measure\_battery that is null. (And will have to answer questions why this and that device doesnā€™t show up for some usersā€¦ šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£) ---

Re-added the device, but same battery status. I think I need to buy the other version šŸ˜ƒ Iā€™ll test the status null in a bit and let you know. Thanks again! Edit: @DaneedeKruyff I can confirm, null status devices are gone now. ---

Ah, ok. That explains it. The one on the left is a Xiaomi MiJia, the one on the right is Xiaomi Aqara. For the Aqaraā€™s I know the battery information is working. (You just gotta love how Xiaomi names their brands/devices and how most sellers on AliExpress mix them up) ---

@DaneedeKruyff @Andre_Prins OK I updated the version, checked again and yes see no Null values now anymore so filtering works. The message from the alert stays on and also the battery indicator is still visible, see below no alerts and no battery issues that I can see? I donā€™t know if you also fixed this in this version, but now when refreshing, and even opening the dashboard on an other Mac or window will show the correct status from the sensor, even sensors that are in alarm now show correctly the orange status! love it, thanks! ![fullsizeoutput_378](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/2/244c54a31b8a2410f60b4c2f6aab0118bd057fb1.jpeg) ![fullsizeoutput_37c](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/6d627409fa1ec7e5fe4e0befe776633b3553caa6.jpeg) ![fullsizeoutput_37f](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/3/3f9ca8752ae88fb9646781cc466280ff24c61fde.jpeg) ---

But thatā€™s correct. When something is wrong the icons turn orange instead of white. Maybe they should be green instead and red if something is wrong? You see my status, one error, because my doorbell is by default in alarm state (should be the other way around). A ticket with Athom is already open for this. ![error_status](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/1/17f7b59c71896f400ac0fad4ba9c63d2a38b0353.jpeg) ---

Hi @Andre_Prins, yes but before this version when you didnā€™t had the dashboard open on for instance your iPad and you had already a sensor in alarm, for instance door/window open then was this not visible in the dashboard that you opened on the new device, this is now the case, well is new for me for sure šŸ˜‰ **Like you mentioned in a previous post, is fixed now!** > Blockquote Thanks. I only noticed itā€™s changing to orange when the dashboard was active and I opened the door. When the door is open and I start the dashboard it will not change to orange. Also when itā€™s orange and I do a refresh of the dasboard it turns back to white. Thatā€™s also why I didnā€™t notice the colour the first time.
