🪫 Low Battery Notifications & Actions

@iona

So if your using battery notes then you will select Exclude Hidden Battery Sensors. That was one of the reasons it was added. Then in your configuration.yaml add

battery_notes:
  hide_battery: true

Then everything will work automatically.

First you create a button, click here

Once you have the button add it into the blueprint input Button Helper and enable the option Use The Button Helper Trigger.

Next you add that button to your chosen dashboard.

When you press it, it will run the automation.

I tried using the Easy Notify which resulted in an “unknown” dashboard notification. Any help would be appreciated. I really like the app!

See this FAQ click here

Take note of step 5.

I don’t seem to have a “Create” option or “Advanced” settings as described in the FAQ. Here’s a screenshot of what I’m seeing.

-Thanks

All you settings look good.

Your text helper is Low Battery Notifications. To find all your helpers you have created go to Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers (tab at the top). There you will see your Low Battery Notifications text helper. Click on it and then click the cog wheel. Now you see the options.

The thing to note is once you created this text helper it will be empty and there will be no text formatted in the correct way. In order to create some text you have to run the automation just once so it will populate the text helper. Then when you add it into the dashboard everything will work.

Thanks again!

I don’t have the battery sensors hidden by choice for battery_notes configuration. I use both device and battery notes sensors together as sometimes there are inaccuracies/issues between the two. I guess I’d have to live with it or make changes, thanks nonetheless.

I just tried to implement this blueprint last night (Home Assistant OS, Core 2025.10.3, Supervisor 2025.10.0) and got the same error (UndefinedError: list object has no element 1) from the Markdown card.

Here’s my yaml following your response to thomas15.
