Batterycheck device exclusion

You can find a brief overview of an approach that would work here:

Labs: SmartThings Health and Battery Reports

Note that you can filter using an expression to filter and map the raw items as you see fit:
items = $context.response.data.items
exclusions = ["Motion Elliot"]
filteredItems = filter(items, not(contains(exclusions, item.name)))
join(map(filteredItems, item.name), ", ")

There’s a deeper back and forth on that same topic which starts here. It’s in the context of healthchecks, but the same concept applies for batteries.

A key takeaway is to pay close attention to the syntax and make sure that you are exactly matching the device names… and since you will be filtering the list of device names and storing that result in a variable, make sure to use that variable in your notification.
