Battery State Card

Battery state card for Home Assistant. It shows battery levels from connected devices (entities).

Overview

This card was inspired by another great card showing the battery states. I have decided to implement my own as there was no response for pull requests from author and I wanted to fix few things and also add couple new features.

Config

Examples

You can use this component as a card or as an entity (e.g. in 
entities card
);

Card view

Card view is useful when you want to have cleaner config (you don't need to duplicate settings in every entity entry) and when you want to apply same settings (e.g. colors) for all the battery entities.


type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "Battery levels"
entities:
  - sensor.bathroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
  - entity: sensor.bedroom_motion_battery_level
    name: "Bedroom motion sensor"

Entity view

Entity view is useful when you want to add battery status next to other sensors (in the same card).


type: entities
title: Other
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
  - sensor.energy_rpi_monthly
  - sensor.home_assistant_v2_db
  - sensor.hassio_online
  - sensor.last_boot
  - type: custom:battery-state-card
    entity: sensor.temp_outside_battery_numeric

Custom colors

Custom threshold colors


type: custom:battery-state-card

  - entity: sensor.bedroom_switch_battery_level
    name: "Bedroom Aqara switch"
  - entity: sensor.bedroomtemp_battery_level
    name: "Bedroom temp. sensor"

Disabling colors

When you put empty array in 
color_thresholds
 property you can disable colors.


type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "No color"
color_thresholds: []
entities:
  - sensor.bedroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bathroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroomtemp_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_switch_battery_level

You can setup as well colors only for lower battery levels and leave the default one for the rest.


type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "No color - selective"
color_thresholds:
  - value: 20
    color: "red"
  - value: 60
    color: "yellow"
entities:
  - sensor.bedroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bathroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroomtemp_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_switch_battery_level

Sorted list and collapsed view


type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "Sorted list and collapsed view"
sort_by_level: "asc"
collapse: 4
entities:
  - sensor.bedroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bathroom_motion_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroomtemp_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
  - sensor.bedroom_switch_battery_level

Battery groups

Battery groups allow you to group together set of batteries/entities based on couple conditions. You can use HA group entities to tell which entities should go to the group, or you can set min/max battery levels, or specify explicit list of entities which should be assigned to particular group.

Note: If you have battery groups defined in Home Assistant you can use their IDs instead of single entity ID (in 
entities
 collection).


type: 'custom:battery-state-card'
title: Battery state card
sort_by_level: asc
collapse:
  - name: 'Door sensors (min: {min}%, count: {count})' # special keywords in group name
    secondary_info: 'Battery levels {range}%' # special keywords in group secondary info
    icon: 'mdi:door'
    entities: # explicit list of entities
      - sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
      - sensor.main_door_battery_level
      - sensor.living_room_balcony_battery_level
  - group_id: group.motion_sensors_batteries # using HA group
    secondary_info: No icon # Secondary info text
    icon: null # removing default icon for this group (from HA group definition)
  - group_id: group.temp_sensors_batteries
    min: 99 # all entities below that level should show up ungroupped
    icon: 'mdi:thermometer' # override for HA group icon
entities:
  # if you need to specify some properties for any entity in the group
  - entity: sensor.bedroom_balcony_battery_level
    name: "Bedroom balkony door"
    multiplier: 10
  # entities from below HA group won't be grouped as there is no corresponding collapsed group
  - group.switches_batteries

Non-numeric state values

If your sensor doesn't produce numeric values you can use 
state_map
 property and provie mappings from one value to the other.
type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "String values - state map"
entities:
  - entity: binary_sensor.battery_state
    name: "Binary sensor state"
    state_map:
      - from: "on"
        to: 100
      - from: "off"
        to: 25
  - entity: sensor.bedroom_motion
    name: "Sensor string attribute"
    attribute: "replace_battery"
    state_map:
      - from: false
        to: 100
      - from: true
        to: 25

Charging state indicators

If your device provides charging state you can configure it in the following way:


type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "Charging indicators"
entities:
  - entity: sensor.device_battery_numeric
    charging_state: # uses other entity state value
      entity_id: binary_sensor.device_charging
      state: "on"
  - entity: sensor.mi_roborock
    charging_state: # uses sensor.mi_roborock state value
      state: "charging"
      icon: "mdi:flash"
      color: "yellow"
  - entity: sensor.samsung
    charging_state: # uses is_charging attribute on sensor.samsung entity
      attribute:
        name: "is_charging"
        value: "yes"

Card-level charging state configuration
type: custom:battery-state-card
title: "Charging indicators"
charging_state:
  attribute: # whenever one of below attributes is matching
    - name: "Battery State"
      value: "Charging"
    - name: "is_charging"
      value: true
  state: # or if entity state matches one of the following
    - "charging"
    - "Charging"
entities:
  - sensor.device_battery_numeric
  - sensor.mi_roborock
  - sensor.samsung

Entity filtering and bulk renaming

If you want to add battery entities automatically or if you want to see them only in specific conditions you can use filters.

If you add entities automatically you cannot specify properties for individual entities. It is possible though to specify card-level properties which will be applied to all entities (see common options). For example if you wanted to set custom names (e.g. if your sensors are suffixed with some common string) you can use 
bulk_rename
 property to define renaming rules.


type: 'custom:battery-state-card'
title: Filters
sort_by_level: "asc"
bulk_rename:
  - from: "Battery Level" # simple string replace (note: "to" is not required if you want to remove string)
    to: "sensor"
  - from: "/\\s(temperature|temp)\\s/" # regular expression
    to: " temp. "
entities:
  # entities requiring additional properties can be added explicitly
  - entity: sensor.temp_outside_battery_numeric
    multiplier: 10
    name: "Outside temp. sensor"
filter:
  include: # filters for auto-adding
    - name: entity_id # entities which id ends with "_battery_level"
      value: "*_battery_level"
    - name: attributes.device_class # and entities which device_class attribute equals "battery"
      value: battery
  exclude: # filters for removing
    - name: state # exclude entities above 99% of battery level
      value: 99
      operator: ">"

Secondary info


type: custom:battery-state-card
name: Secondary info
secondary_info: last_updated # applied to all entities which don't have the override
entities:
  - entity: sensor.bedroom_motion_battery_level
    name: "Bedroom motion sensor"
  - entity: sensor.mi_robrock
    secondary_info: charging # only appears when charging is detected
    charging_state:
      attribute:
        name: "is_charging"
        value: true
      secondary_info_text: "Charging in progress" # override for "Charging" text
  - entity: sensor.jacks_motorola
    name: "Jack's phone"
    secondary_info: "Motorola" # Static text
