In this update: - Added support for viewing Battery Trends on a graph so you can view a history of your accessory battery levels. Pick from the last 30 days, last 180 days or all time. - Added the ability to log charges/replacements so you can keep track of when a battery was last charged/replaced. These are highlighted in orange on the Battery Trends graph. - Added an Apple Watch app that enables you to view battery levels at a glance. Rows are highlighted yellow/red when running low. - On iPad & Apple Vision Pro, the app has been redesigned with a new 3 column layout to take advantage of the bigger space. In the sidebar, you can filter by rooms to quickly access accessories in that room. On iPhone, sections can be collapsed to access rooms quicker if you have a large number of accessories. - Accessory settings and trends data now sync over iCloud so you can view details on all compatible Apple devices. Notification settings will also sync over iCloud too. Please note Widgets & Shortcuts may need to be reconfigured due to a new identification system that works over iCloud - this enables Shortcuts to work across devices too. - HomeBatteries is now a free app with in-app purchases to get access to additional features such as low battery notifications, battery trends and more. Existing users will still get access to all of the original features they have paid for plus iCloud syncing and the new design. There is a limited-time discount on the lifetime plan that existing users can take advantage of if they would like to get access to new features such as Battery Trends. Please reach out if you are having issues accessing existing features. - Added a Shortcuts action to log a charge/battery replacement for an accessory at a specified date & time. - Added a Shortcuts action to fetch a list of all the dates when an accessory’s battery was charged/replaced. You can then use this to fetch the last item to get the date when an accessory was last charged/replaced. - Added a Shortcuts action to set the battery type for an accessory including custom names & quantities. - Added a Shortcuts action to check whether an accessory is currently charging or not. - Added Shortcuts actions to fetch whether an accessory is hidden and another to toggle that state. - Added a Shortcuts action to identify an accessory. - Added support for accessories that don’t expose a battery level percentage to HomeKit and only a Normal/Low value. These will be handled correctly by HomeBatteries now. - Low batteries now stand out easier in the app as accessories that are sufficiently powered will now be grey instead of green. - Accessories can now be renamed in the app by tapping the name on the accessory details screen. This is useful if you are seeing a different name in HomeBatteries when compared to the Home app. - Added the ability to quickly identify an accessory in the app. This will either play a sound or flash a light depending on accessory. - Added the ability for pull to refresh on the accessories list screen. - Added an onboarding process for new users. - Improved placeholder views when HomeBatteries doesn’t have access to HomeKit, a Home is empty or the user has no Homes in HomeKit. - Widgets & Shortcuts Actions are now much quicker to load available accessories. Widgets have also been tweaked slightly. - Improved the organisation of Shortcuts actions. - Added the ability to filter accessories by room, manufacturer and model in Shortcuts. - The Battery Accessories Shortcuts action has been marked as deprecated as the Find Accessory action is now preferred and offers the ability for filtering. - Due to significant changes to the app, HomeBatteries now requires a device running iOS 17 or higher. - Other bug fixes & improvements.
