## What is LowBat?

LowBat brings your smart home batteries together in one clear view.

Check your Philips Hue and HomeKit accessories, see the lowest batteries first, and know what needs attention. 
From dimmer switches and motion sensors to door sensors and blinds, spend less time checking and more time enjoying a home that works.

YOUR BATTERIES, AT A GLANCE
• See battery levels for compatible Philips Hue and HomeKit accessories.
• Switch between a compact list and an easy-to-read grid.
• Find accessories with search and filters for Hue or HomeKit.
• See the lowest batteries first, with clear battery status indicators.
• Open device details to check the room, source, manufacturer and last update, when available.
• Enjoy a native interface with light and dark appearances.

DO MORE WITH LOWBAT PRO
Unlock additional features with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
• Home Screen widgets in three sizes: show your lowest battery, top three or top six.

• Local notifications when a battery reading falls below your chosen threshold.
• Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island to keep a low battery in view.

YOUR HOME. YOUR DATA.
Battery processing happens on your device. Notifications and Live Activities are created and updated locally, without a LowBat backend or remote notification server.
• Communicates directly with your Philips Hue Bridge over local Wi-Fi.
• Reads HomeKit battery information through Apple’s HomeKit framework.
• No LowBat account, sign-up, tracking, analytics or ads.
• Your accessory battery data is not uploaded to LowBat servers.
• No Hue cloud account required.
If local Hue Bridge discovery fails, LowBat may contact Philips Hue’s discovery service to find your bridge. Optional purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store.

MADE TO WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR HOME
Keep using Apple Home and the Philips Hue app to control your accessories. LowBat focuses on their batteries, giving you a dedicated place to check what needs attention.

REQUIREMENTS
• iOS 18 or later.
• A Philips Hue Bridge on your local network for Hue accessories.
• Accessories configured in Apple Home for HomeKit support.
• Use either source independently, or both together.

Available information depends on what each accessory reports. Background checks, notifications, widgets and Live Activity updates depend on iOS scheduling and accessory availability; continuous real-time monitoring is not guaranteed.

A little check. A calmer home.
