Welcome to the community.

When your sensor becomes ‘Unknown’ is it when;

  1. Restart of HA and the sensor is yet to provide data so it is listed as ‘Unknown’?
  2. When the battery is flat it always stays ‘Unknown’ and never transition to unavailable? It should do this.
  3. Something else you can provide some feedback of when it becomes ‘Unknown’.
  4. What type of device (e.g., Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi, etc)

Hi, this is right:

2: One of my Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC Bluetooth thermometer Hygrometer flashed to send values by the Passive BLE monitor had his battery totaly flat.

I use one of them in every room to control my heaters by generic thermostat.
This why i needed a smart integration like yours.

I know if i put a new (or recharged LIR2032) battery in it and I check batteries state every day, i shouldn’t have issues in the future, but i was wondering if there was a way to report “Unknow” batteries states with your blueprint as well.
Just in case

Maybe IÂŽm too stupid because of being at the beginning of using home assistant, but how can I get this notification on my dashboard instead of sidebar ?
With auto-entities IÂŽm only getting the status of the automation.

Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Maybe I’m stupid too :smiling_face: but is it possible to add the battery type from the battery notes integration to the notification and todo list, so I can immediately
can order the correct batteries.
Thanks in advance for any help

Thanx for the quick reply, as I understand this is a manual process I can’t just simple fetch the data from the battery notes integration or do i read it wrong?

315

But when running with fully kiosk and without sidebar on a tablet the user cannot see the notification. Is it possible for you to implementate an useful entity for dashboard ?

Sorry I don’t use that integration as I try to just keep things simple. I just keep a stock of batteries as AA, AAA or CR2032 so when I get the notification I just add to the to do list and then just know what battery I need or just replace them when I get notified. You could always reference the battery using the integration.

I have it set up in an automation for low batteries where it sends a notification to the phone and does a tts message over a speaker. When all batteries are ok it works fine for the phone but how would i go about doing the same for the tts?
