Add a way to sort batteries in the new maintenance dashboard by type #3810

While they do not show in the new new maintenance dashboard, a tip is to use this "Battery Notes" custom component integration from HACS: It at least allows you to attach a "battery note" to an existing device to indicate the exact battery type and amount of batteries it takes, which then shows up in the Diagnostic section of the device. The idea is it allows the user to go pre-armed with the right batteries when battery is getting low, (which you can get to using an auto-entities list on your main dashboard). 
Still, really wish that that all this battery type and amount information was included by default populated via the upcoming device database: PS: Those suggestions are also directly related this other feature request discussion which already covers many of those type of ideas: |
Uh oh!

Describe the enhancement
Not sure if this is the right place. If it is not, please direct me on where to put this, thank you!
The new maintenance dashboard is a very welcome addition for me, since creating something like that and maintaining it myself was very annoying to do, so thank you a lot for it!
One feature I would love for it to have, is the ability to group my batteries by type (AA, CR2032, etc.)
Use cases
I live in an old house, so I use a lot of smart devices with batteries, and they use multiple different types.
When opening the maintenance dashboard, it would be great to quickly see at a glance what types of batteries I need to swap, instead of looking it up every time
Visual examples
This is the Dashboard I built myself once.
It also includes grouping by category (Door, Window, TRV), but I am not sure if that is necessary for most people in this case.
Mostly the grouping by type is the useful part
Anything else?
