Hello,

Thanks a lot for this integration !
I wonder if there is an easy way to grab the number of battery by type ?
For exemple : I have a mix of rechargeable and disposable battery and wanted to monitor the evolution.

Regards,
Adrien

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe sensors by battery type with some stats ( Example : Quantity,Device with lowest /highest battery percentage, last replaced battery, etc )

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create a script/automation to fill the info manually

Hi, this could be done via some yaml template script, there's lots of examples around to create list of entities/attributes so you would have to adapt something to suit your needs.

Moving this to a discussion, there's a lot of capable template creators in the community who might have done something already.

Seems quite complexe in yaml as you need :
1/ pull all battery+
2/ get all battery type available
3/ group by the battery type and sum battery_number

[andrew-codechimp]

The only way to do this in battery notes would be via an action that would return a response in json.
I think that would cause just as much of a headache iterating the json for a formatted output as doing it via yaml and formatting the output as you go so won't add this as an action.

Is this similar to #2596?

This is different as OP is wanting a sum of battery types.
