It's time to fix Aqara battery bug

Edit: I completely forgot about this topic since it works flawlessly. Just checked and I got 270 updates of -100 from 1170 updates in the last 6 days. The temperature is reported perfectly when you ask me and I’m not replacing an obviously fine working battery because some think reporting -100 degrees makes any sense anywhere for anyone.

That’s impressive. Exactly what’s in my mind. Today another sensor sent -100 degree value, battery was shown as 98 % and had 2.98 V…

I want to achieve the same but I try to do so in deCONZ. The database thing is quite dangerous, especially as Home Assistant’s database structure is completely different so adjustment is key.

I’ll likely

1. give It's time to fix Aqara battery bug - #14 by Smanar a chance as it blocks values from even being written to the (HA) database and
2. afterwards probably need to live with Inacceptable huge default "sensor unavailable time" of 24 hours (choose your pain: annoying -100 degree bug or loosing up to 24 hours of data because deCONZ does not ping for battery status more often).

For now I choose the second pill cause it does not produce additional work for me. Flat line is better than spending 1 to 1,5 hours for fixing database stuff every few days/weeks.
