Hello
I use the battery attribute from owntracks to display in HA. Since moving to 0.94, it changed name and but still reported and worked once I changed the sensor… Now after a couple of days the attribute has vanished…
Does anyone know what has happened to it please?
- platform: template
sensors:
mark_phone_battery:
friendly_name: 'Mark battery'
value_template: '{{ states.device_tracker.mark_mark.attributes.battery_level|float }}'
unit_of_measurement: "%"
entity_id:
- device_tracker.mark_mark
Cheers

I have a similar issue… when I reboot HA… the battery attribute from my OwnTracks tracker works fine. Then… about 12 hours later, it stops registering the battery attribute from my android phone, even though it updates the GPS location without issue.
I then get an error that says:
Log Details (ERROR)
Sun Jun 16 2019 19:06:24 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
Could not render template Android Battery: UndefinedError: ‘mappingproxy object’ has no attribute ‘battery_level’
I’m not sure why it’s failing all the sudden.
Im having the same problem. Upgraded to 0.94.3 from 0.93.2 and now I dont get battery to my devices.

Whats wrong with my setup?

I think yours may be simple… try changing ‘battery’ to ‘battery_level’ in the value template.

Cool! Glad it was that easy!
yes this is happening to me as well.
To reproduce it-- change from not_home back to home.
I’m on 0.95.4 and the battery level pops in and out.

I solved this by switching from http to mqtt in owntracks.
Always shows battery now, never cuts out anymore.

Mark I did notice IF you have regions set in owntracks it can cause in an issue when it stops calculating the proximity. Mainly with Home. Use HA zone.home to solve it.

where do you mean Jim? I do have 3 regions, but in HA I use zone. ?
Mine is getting worse… Particularly when I am not home

And I don’t use any regions within OwnTracks… all my zones are in HA…

I’ve removed all my regions and it still says unknown… I am outside of my home zone at work

and dammit… I woke up and it was exactly the same problem. So cannot be a HA issue. Will turn on debug logging and see and reinstall OT on my phone.
Thank you for helping…
edit, I rebooted ha and it started working again… odd

Mine always works on a reboot… for a while. Then it starts to get weird and says “unknown” after I leave the home zone and then come back. If I leave the zone again… it works fine.

I’ll test that tonight… I rebooted this morning and it started working… I am now at work and it is still working… let’s see when I get home tonight.
