Add Battery and Firmware Info to Device status

[strunker]

Is that something that can perhaps be added as well? Would be nice to be able to query for that and monitor for when it starts to get low, do not believe the app warns\monitors in its current form.

thanks.

@SwitchBot-Wonderlabs Absolutely. Most devices of SwitchBot work with Battery. The battery level of a device should be available via Open API. Looking forward to have this available at a given time in homebridge-switchbot-openapi @donavanbecker

Thirded!

[MSBIZ]

Yes, I think it's important to have the information, especially when we have many devices.

[Nardol]

I know developers are very busy with new switch-bot products but could this API improvement be implemented? Not sure it will take so much time, it would be only an attribute to add as this information can be get even remotely.

[alamers]

Yes, please! :) Also, would be nice to be able to read solar panel connectivity as well. Opens up a lot of opportunities

[AdyRock]

Yep, would be very useful. I get it via BLE so don't see why it can't be in the API.

[strunker]

Are any of the improvements or enhancements pinned on Git going to be worked? Its been literally years now these issues have been opened for. Thanks.

Would be very useful. We could prevent bots from stopping working!

I wouldn't hold your breath. I stopped investing in Switchbot products\code due to lack of API support. It's really not acceptable for a mainstream product, not in 2022. API first has been a concept for like years now, don't think Switchbot got that memo.

[Plasmachef]

Yes, integrate this please!
Thank you very much :-)

@chenliuyun can you help with this one?

Another +1 on this feature request to return battery percentage via status command.

For example:

{
    "statusCode": 100,
    "body": {
        "deviceId": "E2F6032048AB",
        "deviceType": "Bot",
        "currentBattery": 100
    },
    "message": "success"
}

Please add possibility to see Smart Lock battery status on Homey. And for other devices.

I'd like to see battery status to, from my Switchbot devices.

Hi guys, we've managed to implement battery status and firmware version for most of the products.

[strunker]

Wow, took over 2 years to complete, but yeah. I will take a look for this later on, this will be a useful addition for sure.

Thank you for the hard work! Can you confirm if this is available in the v1.0 API, or only in the V1.1 API? Us HomeAssistant users are still mostly using the V1.0 API (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/switch-bot-api-integration/270550)
