I have an automation in my Home Assistant setup to notify me when batteries need to be replaced or charged. Currently it’s only for the smart devices in that deployment, but yes.

EXACTLY! Hubby has one of those, that function got old pretty quickly.
TBH I use that to make sure my kids brush their teeth before the electronics get Internet in the morning.
Or to make sure they learn hacking skills. Win or win!
Your internet is solar powered?

Unlock more power for an extra $4.99/month*
