Opt to receive a confirmation message if all batteries are okay.
Opt to use action buttons in your device notification that allows you to add your low batteries to a To-Do list.
Compatible with Apple iOS and Android devices.
Custom Actions:
Customize actions to suit your preferences and needs, enhancing the automations functionality.
Utilize 10 custom predetermined battery sensors within the blueprint for more tailored and precise actions.
Configure custom actions to include features like customizing notifications or playing announcements on platforms like The Voice (HA), Google, Alexa, TTS, etc.
Custom Conditions:
Enter any custom conditions to further customize the automation process.
Enter in the name you would like to call the button helper and an icon if you like. Then click “Create”.
You successfully created a button helper that you can now use it in the automation and include it into a dashboard. When you click on it, the automation will run and check your batteries to then notify you as per your automation settings.
nice to see another blueprint from you, I am currently using my own for this, but yours has some features that i like, but it missing a feature from my own, would you consider adding:
Included Only Sensors.
This is handy when you want to check only against a few sensors, with there own level higher than normal, in my case I have Aqara Shades controllers, but these are really bad battery level monitor, when the battery gets below 50% there basically dead, and can not drive the motor, so I have to have a check just for these once they reach 60%.
Also, for the Low battery sensors + Battery level % your using xxxxx @ xx%, would consider changing that to xxxxxxx (xx%) ?
Yeah I put a lot of thought into making it clean and easy even though sometimes doesn’t look like it. I have to get my head around it an no doubt I will crate 3 + versions of it before I am happy.
looking at your code, it might be easier to split the labels up into sections then build the output from those, instead of duplicating the lists for each option?
If we use “when battery is less than 10%”, I don’t think everyone would like messages when sleeping, yes you can put in a condition but… A lot of the time these batteries are not critical and to just get a report once a week is nice… you can also check every day if you like, but once a week works for me. Some batteries can also fluctuate so I don’t want 10 notify messages a day.
Battery Sensors - Custom Group - You can select a custom group of battery sensors to use for your notification. This allows you to create a list of battery sensors that you would like to be notified of when the battery levels are below your warning level or if they are unavailable.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this great blueprint.
I have some actors that do not report percentages but give a “false” when the battery level is low.
Are these actors also included in this blueprint?
Hello Blacky,
Thanks for this great blueprint.
I’m trying to get the custom actions only if the battery level is low, but I can’t see how to do this. Whenever the automation is running, the custom action also runs.
Did i miss something ?
Normally when the battery goes low the state is ON. Yes this is included but I have just found a bug that would not allow the automation to run when your battery was low. It has been fixed and updated now. Please update the blueprint to version 1.5 and let us know if this has resolved the problem.
