I have dozens of battery-powered devices at home and since WebCore is down I’m looking for ways to get notifications on low-battery devices.
Any suggestion?
In create Routine
IF
Select the required device
Select the Battery option
Input your desired level
Then
Select the option for notification
The app gives you automatic notifications when batteries get low. I am not sure at what % but it might be 10%.
Certain devices like smoke detectors I set up automations like @fido suggested so that I can replace the batteries before they start chirping in the middle of the night.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have like 30 battery-powered devices, creating one rule for each seems to much.
I forgot completely that I deactivated that long time ago, this should work. Thanks!
You can select multiple devices in 1 routine but glad your sorted
If you have paid subscription of Sharptools, you can do that with just single routine using context variables.
Like @Paul_Oliver said, the app gives you a notification. However this is at 10%. I don’t like wasting battery’s. Would be great if the percentage was lower or better yet, adjustable.
Perhaps it’s too early in the morning, but for the life of me I can’t figure out which app this is. I don’t see anything like this in the SmartThings app?
The screen shot was from the top of my favorites page in the ST App. It only shows up if you have a low battery.
In the favorites screen, click on the 3 dots, then select the last option Show status information (or a similar name I have the app in Spanish) and activate it.
