@psyko_chewbacca

Thanks for your kind words.

This is all done in HA. In your battery entity look for sensor display precision. For me I dont have any decimal places. Above your post shows you how to get to this area in HA.

New Update 1.6

:warning: When updating to version 1.6 - If you are using the “Battery Sensors - Custom Group” option then you will need to select and adjust the new input for “Custom Group - Battery Low Warning Level”.

New Feature :new:

  • Battery Sensors - Custom Group - The custom group has its own independent “Battery Low Warning Level” setting.

    Use case: You may have a few batteries that require a different low battery warning level. Some devices may require you to replace / charge your batteries at a higher battery % so it can operate correctly. Some devices can still operate at less than 5% battery. Before you would have to have 2 automations to achieve this. This can now be set up in the one automation using the "“Battery Sensors - Custom Group” with its own independent “Custom Group - Battery Low Warning Level” setting.

  • Easy Notify - Sensor Selection - Easy notify now allows you to select a new option if you would like to use “Use All Battery Sensors Minus Excluded Battery Sensors + Custom Group”

Thanks for the heads up.

Everything is back up and running, please try again.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Blacky,

great blueprint you created. What would be very practical in the notifications is to specify the area of ​​the device in the text. Maybe you can integrate this as an option in the blueprint.

Something like that:
{{ device_attr(device_id(trigger.entity_id), ‘name’) }} im Bereich ({{ area_name(trigger.entity_id) }})

And the last thing is the trigger options. It would be perfect if the automation were also triggered automatically when a device enters the status of too little charge, is not available or is low. A quick reaction is often necessary, especially with heating thermostats. Binary sensor that triggers if any battery level goes beyond a threshold (broken in 2022.09)

Best regards

Welcome to the community.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I am not following, What state is “too little charge”. Some batties report a “Low” state. The “Low” state = “on” in HA so that has been covered. What state do your “heating thermostats” report?

@Blacky I always get excited when I see your avatar on a blueprint.

You sir, are a legend. Thank you very much for all your efforts in this community!

I just found your donation link, enjoy a brew on me.

Cheers!

Great blueprint as always. Could we possibly have NotificationChannel support for Android users? thanks

Any way to format the “{{all_sensors}}” payload to get a CR between each value?

It works with the standard HA app message

Yep like this.

"{{all_sensors|replace(', ', '\n')}}"

Great. Thank you, forgot that I could filter the data…

No problem, happy to help. More information on all that type of information can be found Here

Have a brew on me too! The only thing I can think of is having a sensor we can check from elsewhere that is just true/false to indicate whether there is currently a battery with low charge. Then I can put something on the homepage to remind me if I haven’t looked at the notifications. Just an idea. Thanks for the blueprint!

@Snux

Thanks Mark! cheers :beers:

Not a bad idea… I will put it on the list.

Thank you for this Blueprint, Would be cool if we could get the batterys added to a To-Do list so we know to replace them or order more. Then when its done we can check it off the list.

@jes1417

Not a bad idea, I like it. I will add it to the list.

Cheers. Also the ability to ignore “unavailable” ones in the check. I have a couple of sensors that drop out and back in from time to time as they’re on the edge of wifi range
