Entity with battery_alert_disabled: true still notifies

[thijsvanbloemendaal]

Hi,

Thanks for this great package. Gives great insights on all of my battery powered devices! I added information of my car to Home Assistant which also has some battery info which is irrelevant to be notified about. So I looked up the battery_alert_disabled: true customization, but I still receive notifications on the notify.notify notifier.

Example of my customize.yaml:

sensor.last_trip_average_electric_consumption:
  battery_alert_disabled: 'true'

Thanks for your help!

Have you also deleted the battery sensor that was made?

Hi @whoisdecoy. Thanks for your help. I tried to set the delete input field and ran the automation to delete, but this crashed my HA with error:

Did you modify the package at all? Any of the automations? Do you have all the automations turned on?

You can manually delete the MQTT sensor that is created and add the customize code to stop creation of the sensor again.

No @whoisdecoy , I haven't changed the package. All automations are enabled. How can I manually delete the MQTT sensor? I think I need to get it out of the group.battery_status entity, but can't find out how.

Thanks!

[thijsvanbloemendaal]

@whoisdecoy I've looked into my MQTT. I see some topics related to batteries, but not the one which notifies while the attribute is set. That entity also misses the attribute delete_battery_sensor, which I do see on other entities. So I'm confused now, why does it notify when there is no MQTT sensor? I see the entity that notifies in the list group.battery_status.

[thijsvanbloemendaal]

Somehow I fixed the issue. I've tried su much, not sure what fixed it. But after reinstalling the package the entity customization was cleared. So I've added the fields again and since there were no notifications on these entities.
