**Very illustrative example:** - I have 20 battery-powered devices - I want to check if one of my devices has less than 25% battery Currently, I have to create a scene with x20 « Retrieve the last state » boxes, followed by x20 tests on these states (I was too lazy, there are only 9): ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b3ac1545c2fa21138d714feb2c62c6728bccf956.png) **Description** What I propose as a new feature is the ability to retrieve all values of a certain type. So here, all the battery levels of all the sensors and check if one of them is below 25%. In this specific case, a message can be sent to me with the name and room of the sensor. One can imagine a multitude of applications: all temperature values, battery levels, brightness, power consumption of outlets, etc. ---

Mmmm not stupid, I agree on the problem then I’m not sure if the solution is to do this in the scenes 🙂 For the battery story, I think it would be something we might want « natively » in Gladys. Like Gladys warning you, without your intervention, that some of your devices have less than 25% battery 🙂 Same for devices that are turned off, receiving an alert in « sensor XX has not sent data for 24 hours » mode ---

That’s exactly what I was saying to @cicoub13 last night, in my opinion as a native user, we should: - manage battery levels - manage turned off or inactive equipment - manage reception levels (poor Bluetooth or Zigbee links for example) - manage presence (via Bluetooth) without creating a scene, since a device is already linked to a user ---

First, a device is not linked to a user (maybe we’re not talking about the same thing?), and moreover, I think presence management is a specific case for each individual and is difficult to generalize. For example, you might want to manage presence through multiple factors: Wi-Fi presence + Bluetooth presence + OwnTracks (GPS smartphone) + who knows what! And doing it via scenes allows you to be infinitely flexible, and above all, it’s more understandable/transparent for the user; it’s not something magical. ---

> [@pierre-gilles](#): > > And doing it through scenes allows you to be infinitely flexible, and above all, it is more understandable/transparent for the user; it’s not something magical. I understand your point of view, and perhaps it is not the right solution after all. However, I find that it is still not intuitive when using the presence detection service via Bluetooth. At a minimum, it would be necessary to explain that you need to create the scene, or even provide an example of a scene? This way, the basic need is covered (detecting my presence with Bluetooth), but the scene can be modified for advanced users or needs. ---

Too bad 🥲, this could be useful when you have many sensors that run on batteries! I’ll look for another solution in the meantime. ---

@Lokkye That’s really nice and it’s exactly what’s needed 🙂 Maybe there should be an option to disable this setting (if you’re on vacation and it spams you every day 😛 ) As for the frequency, we’ll see what to set. Could be once or twice a week? ---

Great! @pierre-gilles is right, we need to see whether to notify once or regularly. To avoid spamming, I’d propose: - A configurable info threshold (30%) - A configurable alert threshold (10%) - A final alert when the sensor is no longer accessible, or reaches 0% That way we have 3x alerts per product, no more and especially not every day! ---

That’s a good idea, but I don’t know if that’s possible. For the moment, I went with a system that « checks » the battery level every day. But if I take your idea, I’d need to notify when the device changes level and therefore « listen » to each change in battery level to check whether it has dropped below 30% for example. I’m not sure if I’m being clear 🙂 ---

Can you just check without adding a listener and verify at intervals? Actually, whether your device is at 26 or 30 doesn’t matter, but when your cron runs you notify those between 30 and 20, between 20 and 10, and \<10. That avoids having a listener on every battery event ^^ ---
