Battery polling

[Vovven]

After upgrading to 4.1 I had a look at the events in UI.
It showed battery polling occurring more or less continously.
The loop time for hitting the same device again is 5 minutes.
The battery polling app is set to once a week.
I can't say for sure if this happened because of the upgrade or if this behavior has been there for a while.
Is this normal in 4.1?
Any ideas?

We added this notification in v4.1.0. Some devices (like Danfoss) are always reporting the battery every 5 minutes.

I really don't see what value it adds to flood the event history with this new notification.
What is the logic behind this change?

[PoltoS]

Some customers wanted this notification (their devices send rare battery reports)

Would you like us to allow filtering this type of reports?

[Vovven]

Implementing some type of filtering would be helpful.
Preferably a switch to disable battery polling from creating an event.

Add me to Filtered Preference.
I still don't see how a device that only wakes up every 20 minutes.
can have a new report every 5 minutes.

It can send notifications more often that every wake up period
