Battery Warning
Battery warnings often appear at the most inconvenient times and are easily forgotten. In the worst case, a smart lock could run out of power, leaving you locked out. With a Workflow and Controller Hub in Controller for HomeKit, you can easily prevent this by receiving a notification when you are near the lock.
Start Event
First, add two start events: one for when the lock is locked and another for when it is unlocked. This ensures you receive a reminder both when leaving and entering your home.
Conditions
Next, add a condition that checks if the current battery level is below your desired threshold. Typically, this would be set at 20%, but you can choose to be notified earlier, such as at 30%.
Steps
The final step is to send a notification to your chosen devices.
Final Overview
By combining a Workflow with Controller Hub in Controller for HomeKit, you can ensure timely battery alerts for your smart lock. This way, you will never be caught off guard by a low battery and can replace it before it becomes a problem.
