Zigbee Low Battery Warning system

enter image description here Monitoring more than a couple Zigbee devices for battery levels can be cumbersome. So I made a system that adds new devices automatically,keeps the battery info as a dashboard and sends you an Android notification when battery needs replacing.

Features:

  • add devices automatically
  • Dashboard chart
  • notification for Android
  • custom low trigger
  • support for battery types and purchase links
  • more...

Requirements

  • node-red-contrib-dashboard-average-bars
  • node-red-dashboard

You will need the following Android Apps:

This Setup leans on the following guides: Perfect Autonotifications, Credentials in NodeRED,

Settings

  • battery - battery type for your device
  • name - friendly_name from yaml file (or ID)
  • Notification Device - name of AutoRemote device served with credential system
  • min Value - Low battery threshold value for notifications

I hope you have enjoyed the project!
