<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSensors were created such as sensor.myvodafone_data_remaining<\/code>, sensor.myvodafone_minutes_used<\/code> etc. (as example names).
If no sensors appear, check the log file for error messages - your access data may be incorrect, or Vodafone may be blocking access.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow you can, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Build a Lovelace dashboard with a \"Contract status\" card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Automation: When
sensor.myvodafone_data_remaining<\/code> e.g. 500 MB \u2192 mobile app notification or a persistent Home Assistant notification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Display history, recognize consumption trends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Concrete example<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nJust imagine: You have a mobile contract with 10 GB data volume. You see this in Home Assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nsensor.myvodafone_data_total<\/code>: 10.000 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\nsensor.myvodafone_data_used<\/code>: 8.200 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\nsensor.myvodafone_data_remaining<\/code>: 1.800 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\nsensor.myvodafone_cycle_days_left<\/code>: 6 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou can create an automation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
trigger:\n platform: numeric_state\n entity_id: sensor.myvodafone_data_remaining\n below: 1000\naction:\n service: notify.mobile_app_your_device\n data:\n message: \"Data volume below 1 GB - check consumption!\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\ud83d\udca1 What's happening here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Trigger:<\/strong>
This automation starts when the sensor sensor.myvodafone_data_remaining<\/code> (i.e. your remaining data volume) under 1000 MB<\/strong> falls.
\u2192 You can of course adjust this value (e.g. below: 500<\/code> for 500 MB).<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Action:<\/strong>
As soon as the trigger becomes active, Home Assistant sends a push notification<\/strong> to your mobile device via the notify.mobile_app_...<\/code> service (e.g. your companion app).
\u2192 The message then reads: \"Data volume under 1 GB - check consumption!\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Target:<\/strong>
Warn you in good time before you exceed your data limit or incur throttling\/additional costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFor example, you are protected at an early stage before additional costs are incurred. Depending on your contract settings, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Automation ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/span>\ud83e\udded Check consumption in relation to the cycle<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor example, if you still have many days left, but a lot of volume is already gone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
trigger:\n - platform: template\n value_template: >\n {% set remaining = states('sensor.myvodafone_data_remaining') | float %}\n {% set total = states('sensor.myvodafone_data_total') | float %}\n {% set days_left = states('sensor.myvodafone_cycle_days_left') | int %}\n {% set used_percent = (100 - (remaining \/ total * 100)) | round(1) %}\n {{ used_percent > 80 and days_left > 7 }}\naction:\n - service: notify.mobile_app_your_device\n data:\n message: >\n You have already used {{ used_percent }} %, but still have {{ days_left }} days left in the cycle! Stay frugal!<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIdea:<\/strong>
If you have used up more than 80 % of your data volume, but there are still more than 7 days until the reset, you will receive a warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>\ud83d\udcca Trend notification (if consumption increases too quickly)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou can use a template condition to check whether the consumption per day is too high - e.g. more than 1 GB per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
trigger:\n - platform: time\n at: \"20:00:00\" # check once a day\ncondition:\n - condition: template\n value_template: >\n {% set used = states('sensor.myvodafone_data_used') | float %}\n {% set total = states('sensor.myvodafone_data_total') | float %}\n {% set days_passed = (30 - (states('sensor.myvodafone_cycle_days_left') | int)) %}\n {{ days_passed > 0 and (used \/ days_passed) > (total \/ 30 * 1.2) }}\naction:\n - service: notify.mobile_app_your_device\n data:\n message: >\n Your data consumption per day is above average! Current {{ (used \/ days_passed) | round(1) }} MB per day.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIdea:<\/strong>
Home Assistant recognizes when you are using up your volume too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>\ud83e\udde0 Combination with other devices or services<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou can even combine the Vodafone data with other smart home data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- If you high data consumption<\/strong> have and are currently on the road<\/strong> \u2192 Remember to activate WLAN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
