HomeBatteries for HomeKit App Reviews

Super simple utility to keep an eye on the batteries of all your HomeKit accessories. Great job!

I have several HomeKit type apps that do many things and some have similar functions to thus app but just a Swiss Army knife doesn’t excel at any one thing, Home batteries is the best app I’ve found for displaying information on my devices and battery states. The new 2.0 update is awesome. Also note it’s not just subscription based there is a low one time lifetime purchase price which is what I’m on board with it. This is for battery trends. Don’t need trends? Just use it a free app!

The number of updated and added features in version 2 made this already useful app even better. It was an instant subscribe for me. I regularly spend more than the annual subscription price on a single drink at a restaurant, and I get far less value from the drink. Thanks for continuing to add useful features to this somewhat niche app!

This app is a new app. It's made by an independent developer. Kudos to the developer for having the idea to make this app. The developer has implemented several cool features in the app. You're actually able to tell the app what kind of battery the devices take and also how many they take. I think the app could use a couple of simple UI fixes and the lifetime subscription of $20 is a bit steep for a simple app like this, but I'll happily pay it since it's not a large company making the app.

Check when you open the app, but refresh doesn't work even when jumping through the Shortcuts refresh garbage. Shortcuts automation failed.

Thanks for update. Would it be possible to include a Notes section in each accessory, so we can enter the maker of the battery being used? Just want to log which batteries are from Eneloop (Panasonic), Ladda (Ikea), Duracell, Tenergy, etc. Would also like to clear battery log. Is that option hidden? Previous: Thanks for the update with more detailed information! Would be nice if more detailed information is provided after tapping the name of the device—if it’s a camera by Eufy, motion sensor b

Dirt simple app that does one thing and does it really well. It’s surprising how handy it is to just be able to see the battery status of every HomeKit device in a single screen. There’s no fluff here, no code-for-the-sake-of-code. It focuses on the task at hand and I appreciate that.

And a good app to keep track of multiple locations.

Handy, simple, reliable tool keeping my many battery powered devices online.

I’m giving 5 stars because it’s not the developers fault. Aqara doesn’t expose sensor data to HomeKit. Just wanted to warn people so they can make an informed purchase.

I just added all my battery details using my iPad, thinking they’d sync to my phone. But they don’t, and this likely means I’ll lose all that data if I ever have to restore from iCloud.

Simple, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. In addition, at the time of this writing, the developer is both responsive and releases timely updates. Not sure there’s anything more I could ask for. Very happy.

Well done app. A must for any Home App user with more than a few battery operated accessories.

This would be a very useful app, but it won’t synchronize battery type info between my phone and my tablet. That greatly limits its usefulness.

Great app, very straightforward to use. Helps me keep track of many HomeKit devices with replaceable and rechargeable batteries. Saves me time by aggregating all of the battery levels in one place.

I absolutely love the app. Checking all my HomeKit batteries on a single screen is super helpful. And also knowing what batteries I need. Widgets are great too, seeing any low batteries without opening the app. Perfect price too.

Just what I need to monitor battery conditions of all HomeKit accessories and recent update brought improvements with notifications and battery types used by accessories. However, I do wish the battery type info can be synced through iCloud so I do not need re-enter all the info again on iPad/iPhone. Also wish that we can order the accessories listed based on battery percentage left.

Very handy, but I’ve got some items that register as zero battery. I’d like for a way to ignore/hide these items so I’m not constantly notified about them.

I like this app. As the title implies, the app is clean and simple. Developer communication is great, despite that the info I was looking for would’ve been self-diagnosed had I read the help section first. It’s a shame that some great and new devices from reputable manufacturers don’t send battery levels to HomeKit, but that doesn’t reflect on this app. The only thing id ask for this app to do is sync between devices.

I have benn wanting an app like this for a long time and it’s absolutely perfect for me! I really like how it look when usung iphone/ipad dark theme. Thank you!

I have several battery-powered HomeKit devices (flood sensors, motion sensors, door sensors, etc). It’s never easy in the Home app to determine which, if any, are nearing the end of their battery life. This app solves this problem for you. Definitely worth the modest price and the Developer was very responsive to an issue I reported with v1.0.

I bought this app and it went subscription. I guess that’s fine since my purchase was maintained, but when I open the app I get an ad to upgrade. It’s very annoying. There’s no option to turn it off from what I can see.

Pretty useless if you have a lot of Philips Hue devices. Non of them detected with device type or battery type. Battery status or charge level isn’t shown even if you add them manually. Canceling subscription. Not worth it as is.
