Low Battery Blueprint is awesome (lemmy.ca)

One automation for each battery was getting crazy. A temperature sensor in most rooms, motion detectors and a handful of door/window sensors. This blueprint creates an automation that manages all batteries dynamically. Really is amazing.

What blueprints do find useful?

I'm not quite sure how reliable these battery indicators are. I have a thirdreality moisture sensor at 0% for a week now. Still the original battery too, so you'd think that was actually properly calibrated. ๐Ÿ˜†

So I just go with the unavailable and deal with it then. Though the notification automation that I made for that did break at some point. I need to figure that one out again.
