The `linux_battery` sensor platform is using the information stored in `/sys/class/power_supply/` on your local Linux system to display details about the current state of your battery.
|
|
|
|
To setup a battery sensor to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: linux_battery
|
|
name: Laptop
|
|
battery: 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name to use for the frontend. Default to "Battery".
|
|
- **battery** (*Optional*): Number of the battery. Default to `1`.
