Flow description

Shows the battery charge level of your solar battery on your AWTRIX NG display (32×8) as a pushed app.

  • Icon bat00 ... bat100 in 20 % steps (rounded to the nearest step)
  • Text color from red to green by the same step
  • Progress bar with the exact charge level. With the optional power sensor it is green while charging, orange while discharging and white when idle (tolerance default 5 W). Without it the bar uses the text color.

Requirements

  • Home Assistant with the MQTT integration
  • AWTRIX NG with MQTT and Home Assistant discovery enabled (the display must provide the mqtt_prefix sensor)
  • A sensor with the battery charge in percent

Setup

  1. Install the six icons bat00, bat20, bat40, bat60, bat80 and bat100 from the AWTRIX Hub (search bat, Send to AWTRIX). The names are fixed.
  2. Import the blueprint into Home Assistant and create an automation from it.
  3. Select your display, the battery sensor and optionally a battery power sensor.
  4. Set the app order once on the display. The app is named solar_battery.

The app is updated on every sensor change and every 5 minutes, and disappears after 6 minutes without an update.
