Can i add an entities attributes to a view?

[yee379]

i’m going through customising my views in the web frontend.

like many others, i have a lot of battery powered sensors. i would like to group them in a group. so i naively thought i could do something like:

battery_status:
  name: Battery Status
  view: no
  entities:
    - binary_sensor.front_door_mini.battery_level
    - camera.entryway.battery_level

but it fails.

i don’t really fancy creating dedicated many sensor entity for each device. any suggestions?

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Fortunately you’re not the only one with this issue:

Howto create battery alert without creating a template for every device

Edit May 14th, 2019: The latest code and instructions are available on GitHub at: Original post: I have many battery powered devices that have various methods to track battery level. Some of my devices have a separate entity that just represents battery while most of them have a battery_level attribute. To make it even more complex, I have some devices that report an 0-100 integer and others that use strings (Low, Medium, Full, etc.). I’ve been wanting a way to identify any batteries that…

^ second vote for the battery alert package. Works brilliantly. I slimmed it down a bit for my setup, but the general principle remains the same. @NotoriousBDG has done a great job there.

@anon43302295,

Any chance you could share your “slimmed down” setup? I too am using the package. I do not use the groups or the Mqtt discovery. Just the automations. Works great except it tracks my cell phone batteries. I used battery_alert_disabled: true In my customize settings for all cell phones but it still alerts on them. Trying to figure out a way to fix that portion.

Sure…
