šŸŖ« Low Battery Notifications & Actions

The guided use of Blueprints is simply fantastic, even for novices with no prior experience, thanks to the authorā€™s ingenuity!
However, the ā€˜Okay Confirmation Messageā€™ setting in the Blueprint settings is a bit confusing to me, as it seems to send an ā€˜Okay Confirmation Messageā€™ to a given target if no battery level drops below the specified value at any time the check is triggered. To be honest itā€™s not what I want, I just want to be reminded when I need it, but when I actually tested it I didnā€™t seem to get an alert when the battery was all fine (and I did get an alert if there was an abnormality)

Thanks for your quick reply. I know why I didnā€™t understand it before. My first reaction to the description of Okay Confirmation Message is that after turning it on, a confirmation button will be added to the notification, and the notification will disappear only when the confirmation button is pressed. Maybe itā€™s because my English is not very good that I made a jokešŸ¤£.

Maybe the Action Buttons function is what I understand as adding buttons to notification messages and adding family to-dos after pressing them? I tried the following configuration, but the notification message is the same as usual, and the button to add to-do is not found.

There are two types of confirmation messages:

  1. No Low Batteries to Report:
    The first confirmation message appears when there are no low batteries to report. This serves as a reassurance that everything is functioning as expected and no action is needed.
  2. Action Button Confirmation:
    The second confirmation message is triggered when you press an action button. For example, if you choose to add the battery list to a to-do list, youā€™ll receive a confirmation message. Tapping this confirmation message will take you directly to your to-do list, allowing you to view and edit it as needed.

iPhone-Specific Interaction:

For iPhone users, thereā€™s a nuance to interacting with these messages due to how Apple handles notifications:

  • When you receive the low battery notification, tap, hold, and release to access the action button.
  • If you only tap the notification, it will dismiss the message, and you wonā€™t see the action button. Unfortunately, this behavior is determined by Appleā€™s system and cannot be adjusted.

This has nothing to do with this blueprint.

I ask you kindly remove / delete your post and stay on topic.

Thanks for great blueprint! Installed it and worked great out of the box.
I was wondering if it works with categorized battery levels - I have Zigbee smoke detectors which report battery levels as ā€œhighā€, ā€œmediumā€ or ā€œlowā€:

alarm: false
battery_level: high
battery_low: false
fault_alarm: false
last_seen: '2025-01-12T13:48:35.852Z'
linkquality: 255
silence_siren: false
smoke: false
test_alarm: false

Is this supposed to work with all batteries by default? Or do I need to add each specific device under a custom group?
