What's Changed

Ability to add battery notes to entity's as well device's.
When an entity does not have a device, or a device has multiple battery entities you can now manually add a battery note and choose the specific entity you want the battery note associated with.

Discovery will still work on a device level and guess the correct battery so with devices that have multiple battery entities you will have to add these manually.

Breaking change to automations

This new feature requires a change to the Set battery replaced service, which now takes both an optional source_entity_id and device_id, one must be specified and source_entity_id is used if both are specified. All events now have data for the source_entity_id as well, which means you can modify your automations based on the events to call the service with both source_entity_id and device_id.

This will not break existing automations, but unless you add the source_entity_id to data any entity associated battery notes will not trigger the battery replaced service.

If you are using notification_id with the device_id this should be changed to also include the entity_id to distinguish multiple battery notes for the same device, e.g. notification_id: "{{ trigger.event.data.device_id }}-{{ trigger.event.data.source_entity_id }}"

If you are using the blueprints these will not be updated until the official release, whilst in beta create your own automations or modify the blueprint manually.
