Route Device Battery Alerts to Teammates via Notification Rules
Problem Statement:
- When a device's battery reaches the low threshold, the notification is only sent to the account owner
- There's no way to route this alert to specific teammates (e.g., housekeeping staff) who could handle battery changes
- This creates a bottleneck where only the owner can see and act on low battery warnings
Current Workaround:
- The account owner must monitor device battery levels personally
- If the owner isn't available, low battery devices may go unnoticed until they fail completely
Impact:
- Risk of devices going offline without timely battery replacement
- Increased operational burden on the account owner
- Potential negative guest experience if devices malfunction due to dead batteries
Proposed Solution:
- Allow Notification Rules to include device battery health as a trigger condition
- Enable routing of battery alerts to specific teammates (not just the account owner)
- Teammates could receive these alerts via SMS or email
Unlock:
- Housekeeping or maintenance teams can proactively replace batteries before devices fail
- Reduced dependency on the account owner for device maintenance
- Improved reliability of smart devices across properties

Would love if a battery replacement task were just automatically added to the next cleaning task for the property
