@Tomahawk, that’s an awesome idea. I’ve updated the package to add that feature. To disable alerts for a specific entities, set battery_alert_disabled: true in customize for each sensor you wish to ignore.
homeassistant:
customize:
sensor.sensor_name_to_ignore_battery:
battery_alert_disabled: true
I’ve updated the package to move the min and max alert thresholds to input_number entities, which makes them configurable via the UI. These values must initially be set via the UI to your desired alert thresholds for alerts to work correctly. Note: A working recorder component is recommended to persist the input_number states through restarts. However, an initial value can be forced by un-remarking the initial lines in the package yaml if you don’t have the recorder component configured.
Lastly, I’ve adjusted the code to make it much easier to read.

## 1. Enable MQTT using your preferred MQTT broker
## https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt/
##
## 2. Enable MQTT Discovery by adding `discovery: true` and
## `discovery_prefix: homeassistant` under the `mqtt:` section
## of your configuration.yaml
##
## mqtt:
## discovery: true
## discovery_prefix: homeassistant
##
## 3. Save this file as CONFIGDIR/packages/battery_alert.yaml
##
## 4. Add `packages: !include_dir_named packages` under the
## `homeassistant:` section of your configuration.yaml
##
## homeassistant:
## packages: !include_dir_named packages
##
## 5. Restart Home Assistant
##
## 6. Adjust Min Alert Threshold slider to the minimum battery
## level to alert on. Note: the input slider requires the
## recorder component to keep it's state through restarts.
## If recorder is not enabled, the threshold can be set by
## un-remarking `initial` and setting the preferred default.
##
## 7. Adjust Max Alert Threshold slider to the maximum battery
## level to alert on. Note: the input slider requires the
## recorder component to keep it's state through restarts.
## If recorder is not enabled, the threshold can be set by
## un-remarking `initial` and setting the preferred default.
##
## 8. To disable alerts for a specific entity, use customize to
## set `battery_alert_disabled` to `true`
##
## homeassistant:
## customize:
## sensor.sensor_name_to_ignore_battery:
## battery_alert_disabled: true
