Possibility to disable the predictive charging evaluation notifications

[anorakophobia]

It is very helpful in initial usage phases to have the nightly and evening evaluation notifications.

Nevertheless after some stable time of usage, it is annoying to have them.
Also if you have predictive charging disabled, it still appears.

So it would be very nice to:

• Disable them manully
• Have them disabled if predictive charging is disabled

For debug purposes it would be nice to check them even without a notification.
(Don't know if there are already debug sensors for the same notification content for this, but if not, it would be nice).

Would that be possible?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙌

Here's how this works:

• Vote by clicking 👍 on the original post — not in the comments
• The more votes an idea gets, the higher it moves in the priority queue
• I review feature ideas periodically and implement the ones that benefit the most users

If your idea is very specific to your setup, it may not make it into the core integration — I'll try to suggest a workaround in that case.

Feel free to discuss details or alternatives below.

Hi,

This has been implemented in form of blueprint:

Would you accept a PR for a native option? Proposal: a switch on the system device, "Predictive charging notifications" (default on, so behaviour is unchanged). When off, Omnibattery skips creating the predictive-charging persistent notifications (evaluation, slot start, pre-slot and evening re-evaluation) at the source; the evaluation result stays visible on the dashboard / sensor attributes. Battery alarm, cell-balance and manual-mode notifications are not affected. Happy to include tests and docs . The blueprint works, but this avoids the brief flash and also covers the case from the original post where notifications still appear with predictive charging disabled.

Hi,

Yes, please. Please keep in mind that I won't be able to review it until early November, since I am on holidays.

[Reinvented0]

Check and done. Happy holidays!

@Reinvented0 v1.5.1b1 is out with the native option: switch.omnibattery_predictive_charging_notifications (on by default) mutes the predictive-charging evaluation notifications.

To try it: HACS → Omnibattery → ⋮ → Redownload → pick v1.5.1b1, then restart Home Assistant. Release notes: https://github.com/ffunes/Omnibattery/releases/tag/v1.5.1b1

Feedback welcome. Thanks!

Thanks @ffunes! Installed v1.5.1b1 via HACS: it works fine here. switch.omnibattery_predictive_charging_notifications shows up on the system device, defaults to on, and the integration runs normally (charging/discharging as before, no errors after the restart). I'll test the muting over the next evaluation cycles and report back if anything unexpected shows up.

v1.6.0 adds switch.omnibattery_predictive_charging_notifications (on by default). Turn it off to mute the predictive-charging evaluation, slot-start and re-evaluation notifications; evaluations, schedules and diagnostics still update. Thanks @anorakophobia for the idea and @Reinvented0 for the implementation.
