Can you share more details on what you are trying to accomplish and what you’ve tried?

There’s some examples in the original Health and Battery Reports thread that’s a good starting point:

@josh

What would you want to filter on?

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), ", ")

When in doubt, I would also recommend reading the expressions documentation, especially the linked General Functions reference:

Introduction to Expressions - SharpTools Knowledge Base

As you’ll note from the original example, the filter(array, expression) filters to items that return true for the expression. So to do the original exclusion example linked above, we are adding a not() to invert things… so an inclusion is basically the same thing without a not()

Make sure to pay close attention to the details:

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.

Would like to check device every XX minutes for offline status - #39 by Laurie_Dale1

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.
