Low battery sensor

- platform: template
  sensors:
    baterias_bajas:
      friendly_name: Bateria Baja
      icon_template: '{% if states.sensor.baterias_bajas.state %}mdi:alert{% else %}mdi:approval{% endif %}'
      value_template: >-
        {%- for state in states if state.attributes.battery_level or state.attributes.battery -%} #(1)Para utilizar cuando el nivel de bateria esta como atributo
          {%- set battery = state.attributes.battery_level or state.attributes.battery -%} #(2)Nivel de bateria como atributo
          {%- if battery == 'High' -%}
            {%- set battery = 100 -%}
          {%- endif -%}
          {%- if battery | int < 15 -%}
            - {{state.attributes.friendly_name}} --> {{ state.attributes.battery_level or state.attributes.battery }} % #(3)Muestra el nombre y el nivel de bateria

## Ejemplos de posibles variaciones:
#(1)        {%- for state in states if ('battery' in state.attributes.device_class and state.domain in ['sensor']) -%} ##Solo indicaria si es un sensor y tiene clase battery
#(1)        {%- for state in states if ('battery' in state.attributes.device_class) -%} ##Indicaria cualquier entity con clase battery
#(2)          {%- set battery = state.state -%}  ##Cuando el nivel de bateria es el propio estado como cuando se crean sensores para ello
#(3)            - {{state.attributes.friendly_name}} --> {{ state.state }} % ##Utilizar con device_class
