Would be nice to have the 'Last Changed' value auto-update when the system detects the battery has been replaced. Example logic (with some user tunable settings )to cause 'battery replaced' detection...

In my prior HA system we had this feature and its very useful, especially when you have 30 or 40 battery devices to contend with.

Describe the solution you'd like

Battery was <=80% and changes to 95%-100% for more than 12 hours
-- logic like this helps avoid glitches with incorrect value reads/updates and still detect when an actual battery is changed; often battery values take a while to update, or the device may go offline for a bit, having a user defined 'more than N hours' value helps with this.

Describe alternatives you've considered

none, not sure how to make this happen with battery notes,

Additional context

Hi,

I don't do this automatically but there are events and blueprints you can use to do it yourself.

https://codechimp.org/HA-Battery-Notes/blueprints/#battery-replaced

There is also the option to filter outliers to handle battery reporting glitches

I don't do this automatically

Exactly why I'm asking for the feature request. This function is what I'd consider a core maintenance item that should be in the main code, not an external automation.

[andrew-codechimp]

I've chosen to do it via external automations so that people can have choice on how it works, there are too many edge cases for a generic solution.

Then why not make it a selective option when setting up each device. That way it gives the higher end features but only caters to those who purposefully turn it on.

[andrew-codechimp]

I did see an integration that had optional automations the other day that gave me some inspiration on this.

Before an automation I'd want to have threshold overrides per device though so will add that to the backlog.
