@Blacky Is there a know issue with custom groups ?, I have the following:

alias: Low Battery Notifications
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackshome/low-battery-notifications-and-actions.yaml
  input:
    include_time: time_enabled
    time: "08:45:00"
    exclude_sensors:
      entity_id:
        - sensor.kitchen_freezer_sensor_battery_plus
        - sensor.kitchen_fridge_sensor_battery_plus
    include_easy_notify: disabled_easy_notify
    notify_device: []
    notify_title: Low Battery
    notify_message: sensors
    battery_level: 9
    custom_actions:
      - metadata: {}
        data:
          title: 🪫Low Battery Notification
          message: |-
            • {{all_sensors|replace(", ", "
            • ")}}
        action: notify.persistent_notification
    include_custom_actions: disabled_custom_actions
    custom_group_battery_level: 21
    include_persistent_notification: enable_persistent_notification
    sensor_selection: enable_all_sensors
    include_button: disable_button_trigger
    hidden_sensors: exclude_hidden_entities
    custom_group:
      entity_id:
        - sensor.wiser_andys_bedroom_itrv_battery
        - sensor.wiser_andys_bedroom_thermostat_battery
        - sensor.wiser_lounge_itrv_large_battery
        - sensor.wiser_lounge_itrv_small_battery
        - sensor.wiser_lounge_thermostat_battery
        - sensor.wiser_itrv_media_room_battery
        - sensor.wiser_thermostat_media_room_battery
        - sensor.wiser_mums_bedroom_itrv_battery
        - sensor.wiser_mums_bedroom_thermostat_battery
        - sensor.wiser_office_itrv_battery
        - sensor.wiser_office_roomstat_battery

And and sensor.wiser_andys_bedroom_itrv_battery is at 20% but I am not getting message about it?, or you you require a Group entity ?, and not a list of entities ?

@andyblac

You need to select the option to use custom group

DOH!!!, what an idiot!!!, missed that, just of your some of your blue prints don’t always require to enable a section. (maybe it worth going through them and make things consistent)

Hmm, still nothing

        - sensor.wiser_office_itrv_battery
        - sensor.wiser_office_roomstat_battery

ignore it, my wiser integration just stopped report the battery levels, it a known issue, I’ll report back when I have an update.

Everything worked perfectly here.

Hi Sam,

I hope you don’t mind me mentioning this, just to help keep the thread focused on the blueprint itself, would you mind removing your post with the separate automation? I’ve seen threads go off-topic quickly, and I’d love to keep this one clear for people following the blueprint discussion.

Thanks so much for your understanding, I really appreciate it!

Blacky :grinning:

Sure, I’ll copy it to another area of the forum and delete my post; I thought it was relevant but I understand. No worries.

Edit: moved to Simple check for low battery alert via automation in case anybody wants to continue a discussion there.

@Blacky would you mind adding the option to show Entity_ID in the list… Friendly_Name (entity_id)? Its often difficult to know what battery is what Device…

@Ltek

Your probably best to go through your battery entities and give them a nice short friendly name.

Blacky :grinning:

443

@Blacky I have over 2500 entities, I cant rename everything.

I updated the BP so there is an option to add the entity_id to the list. If you want the code LMK

@Ltek

Once again, please don’t post your code in this topic. If you changed it then great you don’t need me to do it. Keep it to your self and be happy.

It will start to go off topic and I seen many people do this to other people. I then wont develop, help / support or share any code.

Please remove your link.

Blacky :grinning:

I thought you’d have preferred to have the enhancement in your code. I planned to remove the code after you integrated the feature. I want to share it so if people want the feature they can have it… if you dont want people to have that feature, I dont understand why.

and, I asked you for the feature, you basically said no… so I did it for you. No work for you, but everyone benefits.

link removed

@Ltek

Thanks for you understanding.
