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.

Update to 2.X.X

If you want to update the card to v2 you need to be aware of few breaking changes:

When you want to use it as entity (e.g. in entities card) you need to use differnt type: custom:battery-state-entity instead of custom:battery-state-card.
Custom styles are not supported any more

Config

Card config

Name	Type	Default	Since	Description
type	string	(required)	v0.9.0	Must be `custom:battery-state-entity`
entities	list(Entity)	(required)	v0.9.0	List of entities. It can be collection of entity/group IDs (strings) instead of Entity objects.
title	string		v0.9.0	Card title
sort_by_level	string		v0.9.0	Values: `asc`, `desc`
collapse	number \| list(Group)		v1.0.0	Number of entities to show. Rest will be available in expandable section (example). Or list of entity/battery groups (example)
filter	Filters		v1.3.0	Filter groups to automatically include or exclude entities (example)
bulk_rename	list(Convert)		v1.3.0	Rename rules applied for all entities (example)

+common options (if specified they will be apllied to all entities)

Entity object

Name	Type	Default	Since	Description
type	string	(required)	v0.9.0	Must be `custom:battery-state-card`
entity	string	(required)	v0.9.0	Entity ID
name	string		v0.9.0	Entity name override
icon	string		v1.6.0	Icon override (if you want to set a static custom one). You can provide entity attribute name which contains icon class (e.g. `attribute.battery_icon` - it has to be prefixed with "attribute.")
attribute	string		v0.9.0	Name of attribute (override) to extract the value from. By default we look for values in the following attributes: `battery_level`, `battery`. If they are not present we take entity state.
multiplier	number	`1`	v0.9.0	If the value is not in 0-100 range we can adjust it by specifying multiplier. E.g. if the values are in 0-10 range you can make them working by putting `10` as multiplier.

+common options (if specified they will override the card-level ones)

Common options

These options can be specified both per-entity and at the top level (affecting all entities).

Name	Type	Default	Since	Description
color_thresholds	list(Threshold)	(see below)	v0.9.0	Thresholds and colors for indication of battery level.
color_gradient	list(string)		v0.9.0	List of hex HTML colors. At least two. In #XXXXXX format, eg. `"#FFB033"`.
tap_action	TapAction		v1.1.0	Action that will be performed when this entity is tapped.
state_map	list(Convert)		v1.1.0	Collection of value mappings. It is useful if your sensor doesn't produce numeric values. (example)
charging_state	ChargingState		v1.1.0	Configuration for charging indication. (example)
secondary_info	string		v1.3.0	Secondary info text. It can be a custom text, attribute name or state property name e.g. `charging`, `last_changed`, `"My battery"`. (example)
round	number		v2.1.0	Rounds the value to number of fractional digits
unit	string	`%`	v2.1.0	Override for unit displayed next to the state/level value (example)

Threshold object

Name	Type	Default	Since	Description
value	number	(required)	v0.9.0	Threshold value
color	string	`inherit`	v0.9.0	CSS color which will be used for levels below or equal the value field. If not specified the default one is used (default icon/text color for current HA theme)

Default thresholds

Value	Color	Description
20	`var(--label-badge-red)`	If value is less or equal `20` the color will be red
55	`var(--label-badge-yellow)`	If value is less or equal `55` the color will be yellow
100	`var(--label-badge-green)`	If value is less or equal `100` the color will be green

Note: the exact color is taken from CSS variable and it depends on your current template.

Filters

Name	Type	Default	Description
include	list(Filter)		Filters for auto adding entities
exclude	list(Filter)		Filters to remove entities dynamically

Note: The action (include/exclude) is performed when at least one of the filters is matching (OR). It is not possible currently to specify two or more conditions (filters combined with AND operator).

Note: Include filters should rely on static entity properties. E.g. you should not add include filter which checks the state property. Include filters are processed only once - when page is loaded (to minimize perf impact).

Filter object

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string	(required)	Name of the property/attribute. E.g. `state`, `attribute.device_class`
operator	string		Operator for value comparison (see filter operators)
value	any		Value to compare the property/attribute to

Filter operators

Operator is an optional property. If operator is not specified it depends on value config property:

if value is not specified the default operator is exists
if value starts and ends with shalsh "/" or if it contains wildcard "*" the operator is matches
if value property is set but above conditions are not met the operator is "="

Name	Type
`"exists"`	It just checks if value is present (e.g. to match entities having particular attribute regardless of the attribute value). It doesn't require `value` to be specified.
`"="`	If value equals the one specified in `value` property.
`">"`	If value is greater than one specified in `value` property. Possible variant: `">="`. Value must be numeric type.
`"<"`	If value is lower than one specified in `value` property. Possible variant: `"<="`. Value must be numeric type.
`"contains"`	If value contains the one specified in `value` property
`"matches"`	If value matches the one specified in `value` property. You can use wildcards (e.g. `"*_battery_level"`) or regular expression (must be prefixed and followed by slash e.g. `"/[a-z_]+_battery_level/"`)

Tap-Action

The definition is similar to the default tap-action in HomeAssistant.

Name	Type	Default	Description
action	string	`none`	Action type, one of the following: `more-info`, `call-service`, `navigate`, `url`, `none`
service	string		Service to call when `action` defined as `call-service`. Eg. `"notify.pushover"`
service_data	any		Service data to inlclue when `action` defined as `call-service`
navigation_path	string		Path to navigate to when `action` defined as `navigate`. Eg. `"/lovelace/0"`
url_path	string		Url to navigate to when `action` defined as `url`. Eg. `"https://www.home-assistant.io"`

Convert

Name	Type	Default	Description
from	any	(required)	Value to convert. Note it is type sensitive (eg. `false` != `"false"`)
to	any	(required)	Target value

Charging-state object

Note: All of these values are optional but at least entity_id or state or attribute is required.

Name	Type	Since	Description
entity_id	string	v1.1.0	Other entity id where charging state can be found
attribute	list(Attribute)	v1.2.0	List of attribute name-values indicating charging in progress
state	list(any)	v1.1.0	List of values indicating charging in progress
icon	string	v1.1.0	Icon to show when charging is in progress
secondary_info_text	string	v1.1.0	Text to be shown when battery is charging. To show it you need to have `secondary_info: charging` property set on entity. (example)

Attribute object

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string	(required)	Name of the attribute. If the charging info is in an object use the path e.g. "charger.is_charging"
value	string		Value of the attribute

Group object

Name	Type	Since	Description
name	string	v1.4.0	Name of the group. Keywords available: `{min}`, `{max}`, `{count}`, `{range}`
secondary_info	string	v1.4.0	Secondary info text, shown in the second line. Same keywords available as in `name`
icon	string	v1.4.0	Group icon. It can be a static icon available in HA or dynamic one taken from one of the group items (`first`, `last`)
icon_color	string	v2.0.0	Group icon color. It can be a static HTML (e.g. `#ff0000`) or dynamic (`first` or `last`) color value based on the battery colors in the group.

max	number	v1.4.0	Maximal battery level. Batteries above that level won't be assigned to this group.

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).

Note: there is a different type used.

type: entities
title: Other
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
  - sensor.energy_rpi_monthly
  - sensor.home_assistant_v2_db
  - sensor.hassio_online
  - sensor.last_boot

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

Installation

Once added to HACS add the following resource to your lovelace configuration (if you have yaml mode active)

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
    - url: /hacsfiles/battery-state-card/battery-state-card.js
      type: module

If you don't have HACS you can download js file from latest release. Drop it then in www folder in your config directory. Next add the following entry in lovelace configuration

resources:
  - url: /local/battery-state-card.js
    type: module

Development

npm install
npm run build

Bundeled transpiled code will appear in dist directory.

For automatic compilation on detected changes use:

npm run watch

Note: there is "undocumented" value_override property on the entity object which you can use for testing.

Do you like the card?

If you do like the card please star it on github! This is a great way to give feedback and motivation boost for me to continue working on it. Thanks!

Automatic notifications about low battery levels

It is not possible to do such a thing from the card level. If you want to get automatic notifications/alerts you can use the blueprint shared by sbyx:

https://my.home-assistant.io/create-link/?redirect=blueprint_import&blueprint_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsbyx%2F1f6f434f0903b872b84c4302637d0890

Click on "copy url" button and paste it in your browser. If you have configured my.home-assistant.io already you should be redirected to the page in your HA where you can review the blueprint code and add it. Once you add it you can create automation based on it.
