thanks for your reply. Looks like the BATTERY command is working when the unit (Garage goor opener) is forced to wake up by manually removing the cover. Is there a way to trigger it to wake up and get the battery level? i have attached the node file for this device. I tried creating a button that executes the Battery command on the node when pressed but it doesnt seem to do anything. The log file simply shows:

doesn't look like it is actually sending any command- just putting it in the queue and probably waiting for the node to wake up? is there a way to manually trigger a wake from the controller?
