Hi,
I'm new to EdgeTX so if this has already been covered or I am missing something obvious then I apologize.

Would it be possible to have an audible alarm, voice track activated when the battery percentage falls below a percentage threshold ? Or alternatively could the percentage value be 'written out ' to a GV so that a logical switch can then be progragrammed in edgeTX to activate the voice track.

Thanks in advance,

technically it can be done
but people will like different voice, different level, different timing, so there is a lot(!) of configuration to present to the user.
why not using the regular logical-switch & special function to do that?

Hi Offer ,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I think your suggestion of using the logical switch and special function is the best solution as it will address the issues you have raised re different voices etc. Is it possible to somehow access the percentage value indicated in the widget to activate the logical switch rather than using the actual battery voltage ? The reason I ask for percentage rather than voltage is that some of my models run on both 3S and 4S batteries.

I do not like the percentage.
it indeed better visible to the human brain, but there is a lot of interpretation to the percentage.
you issue is a real one, I also use 3/4//5/6 cells and can not remember the correct value that require landing.
I have a special script that do this work for me
you will need this script:
https://github.com/offer-shmuely/edgetx-x10-scripts/tree/main/SCRIPTS/MIXES

to use it:
on the model, enable custom-scripts

and then select it here

then go to the telemetry page and press "discover now"
you will see new sensor called cell,

then you can add a logical switch that let you know when to land (a good value for lipo will be 3.6v)

HI Offer,
Once again thanks for the quick response. I understand your comment re percentages and the cell voltage monitor looks to be a better solution, since that also correspondences with how the battery manufactures recommend values to us. I will give the custom script a try and let you know how i get on.
