App Description

HomeBatteries makes it super quick & easy to see all of your HomeKit accessory batteries in one location.

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.

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.
