LowBat
The missing "all batteries at a glance" view for your smart home. Neither the Philips Hue app nor Apple Home shows you a single sorted list of which accessories are about to die. LowBat does exactly that, and nothing else.
All your smart home batteries. One sorted list.
Get a local notification the moment any device drops below your chosen threshold.
Philips Hue Accessories
See battery levels for every Philips Hue accessory on your bridge - motion sensors, dimmer switches, Tap Dial, smart buttons, and more. LowBat talks directly to your Hue Bridge over your Wi-Fi. No Hue cloud account needed.
HomeKit Accessories
Battery levels for your HomeKit battery-powered accessories - door sensors, locks, leak sensors, remotes, and more. HomeKit data never leaves your iPhone.
Sorted Lowest First
Everything - Hue and HomeKit - in one list, sorted by lowest battery first. The accessories that actually need attention are always on top. No scrolling through healthy devices to find the one you came for.
Home Screen Widgets
Three widget sizes: glance at your single lowest battery, the top 3, or the top 6 - without opening the app. Widget support on iOS 18 and later.
Local Notifications
Pick a threshold and get a local notification the moment any device drops below it. No server, no cloud - just your iPhone quietly watching your accessories.
Privacy First
- Everything runs locally on your device and your local network
- Talks directly to your Philips Hue Bridge over your Wi-Fi - no Hue cloud account needed
- HomeKit data never leaves your iPhone
- No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics, no ads
What LowBat Is Not
A focused utility, not another smart home control app. LowBat does not turn lights on or off, set scenes, run automations, or show anything other than battery status. If you want control, keep using the Hue app and Apple Home - LowBat lives alongside them.
Requirements
- iOS 18 or later
- A Philips Hue Bridge on your local network (for Hue devices), and/or
- HomeKit accessories set up in the Home app (for HomeKit devices)
- Either source is optional - use one or both
Stop Guessing Which Battery Died
One sorted list. Every smart home battery. Local, private, and focused on the one job it does.
