No angle in LM4110-ZB integration with Quirk

[Christianbouchard2]

Hi, I added LM4110-ZB to Home Assistant with quirk. In integration, I only have the battery percentage and the temperature but I do not have the angle. I found it with ZHA toolkit but it's not ideal. Is it possible for you to add it in integration with the quirk, that would be good. THANK!

Check in my readme.md on this site. you need to setup reporting and bind the LM4110ZB to your zigbee gateway to receive the angle. Then you just need an automation to convert angle to %. It's a one time operation and it work perfectly.

In next update I'm porting the quirks to quirks V2 and this should create automatically all sensor you need for your device like Gauge angle

Thank you Claude for your reply. I did everything you suggested in your procedure, and it works perfectly. I have a small problem with the sensor from time to time, though. I do a scan with Zigbee Toolkit every 15 minutes. But if by chance I restart my home assistant during this scan, and it goes to 30 minutes, the sensor stops responding. I have to resynchronize it. Do you have any idea why it's doing this? I have the entire Sinopé product range, and this is the only one that does this. Yet, it also reads the temperature and battery on its own.

I can't wait to see your version 2; it might solve my problem.

Thanks again!

The LM4110-ZB is what we call a dormant device. To save battery it stay quiet and wake up at specific interval or when there is a change in it's measured data. If you poll too often then you will discharge the battery faster. Your LM4110-ZB is outside where it's cold and this also reduce battery life.
Normally the LM4110-ZB send angle once per hour or if there is a change in the measured value.
In my readme.md you have followed the section about reporting config of each devices. But you should reduce polling frequency.
Your propane level do not go down very fast.

You can try the new V2 quirks in branch:
https://github.com/claudegel/sinope-zha/tree/quirks-V2
Just replace the sensor.py in your config/zhaquirks by the one in that branch and restart HA.
For the other files, light.py is still buggy but thermostat.py and switch.py can be tested if you want.
The main difference with the quirks-V2 is that all reporting attributes are configured automatically and create a sensor associated to catch and store the reported value.
Try it and let me know.
