can you add an option to use "Included" instead for selecting all battery sensors, just my Aqara Roller Shade E1 motors do not operate below 55% batttery and I would like a notification when those get below 60%.

Hi, thanks for checking out this blueprint. I am curious what the benefit of having an include list would be as all devices are automatically included and you just set the exclude list for ones you don't want.. or is it somehow missing a device? Or maybe you only want to monitor a couple devices maybe and don't want to have to select a bunch to exclude? Is that what your doing? I just figured people would want to monitor all battery based devices.

I have 7 Aqara Roller Shade motors, but these have a battery level issue, where once they get below 55% they fail to operate correctly and Aqara refuses to fix the issue. So in my case it was easier to "include" just these sensors and have a automation to warning me once they reach 60%, rather than "exclude" all the other battery sensors (over 50 of them). So now i have 2 automation one with only these included and 60%, and another with these excluded with 20%.

Hope that make sense.

Ah that makes sense, thanks for that clarification :) I'll try out your modifications soon

added an option to list unavailable or not. here my gist https://gist.github.com/andyblac/35b4164355dbef4f998f358353278236 based on your code, hope you don't mind

Template variable warning: 'sensors' is undefined when rendering '{{sensors}}'

you got any idea how I screw this up?

hi, sure thats np, here is my latest version, it now adds send message as default you only have to add the device(s)

Hi,

just fixed this issue in my gist here, it stops the error in logs.

Thanks for this - it works great and saved me a ton of time!
