Description

HomeBatteries makes it super quick & easy to see all of your HomeKit accessory batteries in one location. * As featured on HomeKit Insider, Shane Whatley & 9to5Mac * If you have ever found yourself in the situation where a battery powered HomeKit accessory has stopped working, then HomeBatteries can prevent it from happening again. HomeBatteries enables you to view all of your Apple Home device battery levels in one place and get notified before they run out of power. HomeBatteries contains these great features: BATTERY STATUS View each accessoryʼs battery level as a percentage alongside a glyph which gets highlighted if it is running low. Selecting an accessory will let you see even more details about the device including charge status, trends and more. NOTIFICATIONS Get notified before an accessory runs out of battery with support for notifications. Notifications are fully customizable from the Settings screen. BATTERY TRENDS View a history of your accessory battery levels and see when it was last charged/replaced so you can determine how long a battery lasts. WIDGETS Add the Low Batteries & Batteries widgets to see the status of your accessories on your Home or Lock Screen. SHORTCUTS With deep support for Siri Shortcuts, you’ll be able to access and control many features of the app. Use your device, or even HomePod, to get battery levels, last charge date and see which accessories are running low. APPLE WATCH View all of your batteries at a glance with the companion Apple Watch app. BATTERY TYPES Set the battery type for each accessory from a preset list of options or choose your own so you know what you need when it comes to charging/replacing them. ICLOUD SYNC Trend data and settings for all of your accessories sync over iCloud so you can access them from your other Apple devices. UNIVERSAL PURCHASE Get this app across multiple Apple platforms with a single purchase. Your HomeBatteries+ subscription works across devices too. If you like this app, I’d really appreciate it if you could take the time to leave a positive review! Having issues? Please get in touch: Email: support@adamfoot.dev Website: https://adamfoot.dev Please note that devices should have already been setup in the Apple Home app to use this app. Not all battery powered devices expose their battery level to HomeKit and will therefore not appear in HomeBatteries or the Home app. Notifications & widgets may not be up-to-date 100% of the time due to limitations with accessing HomeKit in the background but there is a Shortcuts Automation that can be enabled to improve this. Some features may require a HomeBatteries+ subscription which can be purchased in the app. You can cancel at anytime. Terms: https://adamfoot.dev/terms-of-use

  • Amazing update in version 2.x

    By Dave Beauvais
    The number of updated and added features in version 2 made this already useful app even better. It was an instant subscribe for me. I regularly spend more than the annual subscription price on a single drink at a restaurant, and I get far less value from the drink. Thanks for continuing to add useful features to this somewhat niche app!
  • The best app for Smart Device Batteries

    I have several HomeKit type apps that do many things and some have similar functions to thus app but just a Swiss Army knife doesn’t excel at any one thing, Home batteries is the best app I’ve found for displaying information on my devices and battery states. The new 2.0 update is awesome. Also note it’s not just subscription based there is a low one time lifetime purchase price which is what I’m on board with it. This is for battery trends. Don’t need trends? Just use it a free app!
  • Simple but excellent

    Super simple utility to keep an eye on the batteries of all your HomeKit accessories. Great job!
  • Almost satisfactory

    This would be a very useful app, but it won’t synchronize battery type info between my phone and my tablet. That greatly limits its usefulness.
  • Nicely implemented status feature missing in native Home app

    Well done app. A must for any Home App user with more than a few battery operated accessories.
  • Exactly what I was looking for!

    Simple, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. In addition, at the time of this writing, the developer is both responsive and releases timely updates. Not sure there’s anything more I could ask for. Very happy.
  • Add iCloud sync and this would be a lot more useful.

    I just added all my battery details using my iPad, thinking they’d sync to my phone. But they don’t, and this likely means I’ll lose all that data if I ever have to restore from iCloud.
  • Doesn’t work with Aqara sensors

    By SuperMark1234
    I’m giving 5 stars because it’s not the developers fault. Aqara doesn’t expose sensor data to HomeKit. Just wanted to warn people so they can make an informed purchase.
  • Super handy

    I’ve got a bunch of shades and other devices all bundled together. It’s a pain to see battery levels in the Home app. This app makes it super easy to check battery levels for everything - even the motion and door sensors in my security system. 5 stars.
  • Just Get It

    Outstanding app. Very useful if you have tons (or even just a few) of HomeKit accessories that use battery power. A great one stop shop to monitor batteries.
