base on A Home Assistant integration to provide battery notes of devices # Battery Notes for Home Assistant [![GitHub Release][releases-shield]][releases] [![GitHub Activity][commits-shield]][commits] [![Downloads][download-latest-shield]](Downloads) [![License][license-shield]](LICENSE) [![hacs][hacsbadge]][hacs] Integration to add battery notes to a device or entity, with automatic discovery via a growing [battery library](library.md) for devices. Track the battery type, when the battery was replaced, when a battery is low based on device or global thresholds and also when a battery hasn't been reported for a while. **Dashboard cards usage** A battery+ sensor provides useful attributes for easy use in dashboards, the standard battery can optionally be hidden. **Notifications and automations** Battery low, replaced and not reported are all exposed via events and actions, using these you can create your own automations to generate notifications or other actions, there are some predefined ones in [community](https://andrew-codechimp.github.io/HA-Battery-Notes/community). *Please :star: this repo if you find it useful* *If you want to show your support please* [](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/codechimp)   ## Installation **Important** Once you have installed battery notes using either HACS or manually as per the instructions below you must add the following entry to your `configuration.yaml`, then restart Home Assistant. This will enable discovery of your devices. ``` battery_notes: ``` If you need to add a device that is not automatically discovered from the library go to Settings -> Integrations click "+" and search for "Battery Notes" ### HACS Installation [](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=andrew-codechimp&repository=HA-Battery-Notes&category=Integration) Or Search for `Battery Notes` in HACS and install it under the "Integrations" category. ### Manual Installation <details> <summary>More Details</summary> * You should take the battery_notes.zip file from the latest [published release](https://github.com/andrew-codechimp/ha-battery-notes/releases). * To install, place the contents of `custom_components` into the `<config directory>/custom_components` folder of your Home Assistant installation. * Add the following entry to your `configuration.yaml` ``` battery_notes: ``` * Restart Home Assistant * In the HA UI go to Settings -> Integrations click "+" and search for "Battery Notes" </details> ## Docs To get full use of the integration, read the documentation. It contains community quick starts as well as details on all the actions, events and entities.

If you want to contribute to this please read the [Contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Acknowledgements A lot of the inspiration for this integration came from the excellent [PowerCalc by bramstroker](https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc), without adapting code from PowerCalc I'd never have worked out how to add additional sensors to a device. Huge thanks to @bmos for creating the issue form & automations for adding new devices. Thanks to everyone who has submitted devices to the library. <!----> [battery_notes]: https://github.com/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes [commits-shield]: https://img.shields.io/github/commit-activity/y/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes.svg?style=for-the-badge [commits]: https://github.com/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes/commits/main [hacs]: https://github.com/hacs/integration [hacsbadge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/HACS-Default-41BDF5.svg?style=for-the-badge [discord]: https://discord.gg/Qa5fW2R [discord-shield]: https://img.shields.io/discord/330944238910963714.svg?style=for-the-badge [exampleimg]: example.png [forum-shield]: https://img.shields.io/badge/community-forum-brightgreen.svg?style=for-the-badge [forum]: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-component-battery-notes/613821 [license-shield]: https://img.shields.io/github/license/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes.svg?style=for-the-badge [releases-shield]: https://img.shields.io/github/release/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes.svg?style=for-the-badge [releases]: https://github.com/andrew-codechimp/HA-Battery-Notes/releases [download-latest-shield]: https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/andrew-codechimp/ha-battery-notes/latest/total?style=for-the-badge ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"6198","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
