Set Hue Scene after i unplug my iPhone

Configuration

Hi there.
Just to say I’m pretty new to HA and just made my Setup - i’m not a programmer.

I want to:

  • Let HA check my Phone Battery State (to be unplugged)
  • put some rules like just in the morning between two times
  • Set my Philips Hue Livingroom Room/Zone to a preset Scene.

I really have no understanding right now between automations/actions/scenes/Blueprints etc.

What i did:

  • Set up my iPhone Companion App with the right Settings for Sensors
  • Setup iOS Short-Command to send Sensor Updates immediately to HA

I think i’m able to do:

  • Set Parameters (“if yes” etc.) as define Times, Delay etc.
  • Find the right settings for my Hue System

I fail with:

  • Make an Automation or something else, because i can’t find a Trigger for Battery Sttate “not chraging” in the Dropdown under Devices=>my Phone, i only find things like Count Steps, leave Area and so on.

So i really would appreciate if someone can show me a way to use my Battery State (on my iPhone) as the Trigger.
I thought it will appear in the Dropdown Menu of my Device=>iPhone after i Setup the Sensors aloud to send it from iOS to HA und thought it could help to set the Sensor Updating thing in my Shortcuts. I failed…

I really have no knowlege about yaml right now!

Thanks in Advance from Switzerland
Luke

Don’t use DEVICE, use STATE in your automation.

You don’t need yaml to do this automation, but you will need to get the correct state and use state instead of device (as already suggested above).

To find the correct state:

  1. Go to Developer tools
  2. Click States tab
  3. Enter part of your phone name in the filter

You should have a battery entity which you can use, and can see the state changing when your phone is no longer being charged.
