### {% linkable_title iOS Devices %}
|
|
|
|
If you have a device running iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc), The [iCloud](/components/device_tracker.icloud/) is gathering various details about your device including the battery level. To display it in the Frontend use a [template sensor](/components/sensor.template/).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: template
|
|
sensors:
|
|
battery_iphone:
|
|
unit_of_measurement: '%'
|
|
value_template: >-
|
|
{% raw %}{%- if states.device_tracker.iphone.attributes.battery %}
|
|
{{ states.device_tracker.iphone.attributes.battery }}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
{{ states.sensor.battery_iphone.state }}
|
|
{%- endif %}{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `else` part is used to have the sensor keep it's last state if the newest [iCloud](/components/device_tracker.icloud/) update doesn't have any battery state in it (which happens sometimes). Otherwise the sensor will be blank.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Android and iOS Devices %}
|
|
|
|
While running the [Owntracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/) device tracker you can retrieve the battery level with a MQTT sensor.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: mqtt
|
|
state_topic: "owntracks/tablet/tablet"
|
|
name: "Battery Tablet"
|
|
unit_of_measurement: "%"
|
|
value_template: {% raw %}'{{ value_json.batt }}'{% endraw %}
|
|
```
