Battery icon for homeduino sensor devices

---

I miss this feature especially for generic device.

@Heizelmann It is available as part of HomeduinoRFTemperature and HomeduinoRFWeatherStation devices. Both devices support either a boolean (low battery indicator) or a numeric (capacity percentage) battery indicator. I think it can be possibly adapted for the HomeduinoRFGenericSensor by defining an attribute as shown below. This solution only requires some minimal code changes to make it work.

{
  "id": "homeduino-generic-sensor",
  "name": "RFGenericSensor",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFGenericSensor",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "generic",
      "options": {
        "id": 42
      }
    }
  ],
  "attributes": [
    {
      "name": "temperature",
      "type": "number",
      "decimals": 2,
      "baseValue": 0,
      "unit": "°C",
      "label": "Temperature"
    },
    {
      "name": "temperature",
      "type": "number",
      "unit": "%",
      "icon": {
        "noText": "true",
        "mapping": {
          "icon-battery-empty": 0,
          "icon-battery-fuel-1": [
            0,
            20
          ],
          "icon-battery-fuel-2": [
            20,
            40
          ],
          "icon-battery-fuel-3": [
            40,
            60
          ],
          "icon-battery-fuel-4": [
            60,
            80
          ],
          "icon-battery-fuel-5": [
            80,
            100
          ],
          "icon-battery-filled": 100
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Yes, I know that it is available for HomeduinoRFTemperature and HomeduinoRFWeatherStation. I didn’t think about usefullness for other homeduino devices, I currently need it for generic device. Hope a developer will pick up your proposal.

@Heizelmann Similar to what I did for VariablesDevices I have created a proposal to supporting iconfied attribute values for the HomeduinoRFGenericSensor. For the time being it is just proposal for discussion and review.

cd /home/pi/pimatic-app
npm i pimatic/pimatic-homeduino#rf-generic-sensor-device-icon

What is the state of the proposal?

@Heizelmann See https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1821/battery-type-for-variables-device/4. We also had a follow-up discussion on this on Google Hangouts. I’ll summarize the results on the other thread soon and I will prioritize the implementation of the feature.
