Battery Status Automation?

There are several community apps that you can use. This one is available on the Hubitat Package manager and works pretty well. You can set alert levels and have it check daily.

To be fair though, the sellf reporting for many devices is hit or miss. Depends on the type of battery, the driver for the device, and several other things that makes the information "nice to know" but not reliable enough for anything if it is critical.

The other thing you can do also, is to start logging the battery change dates. I would search the forum for a few apps that can help, but you can also enter it in the device note block on the Device Info tab. For some devices, this may be the best way to predict when you need new batteries (like this one that is battery hungry)
