As battery voltage is critical to the survivability of the Wyze Sense sensors I would like to see a field in the sensor device info part of the app that shows the current battery voltage.

I would love to have this too. It could help with positioning of the sensor hub too.
Noteā¦ I dont know if the main dashboard needs this information. Iām fine if this is a special page within the sensor hub pages.
Create a Battery Status/Management Page Showing Battery Level/Type for all Devices
Please develop a Battery Status/Management page somewhere in the app.
To be clear, itās okay if you implement it differently from any of my suggestions below and still consider this request to be āGranted.ā However, I will give you some examples of what I think would make for a great implementation:
It would be great to have a single place we can go to see the battery level of every Wyze product that uses a battery. Right now we may have devices spread out to different device groups, and we often have to go look at each device individually: Some devices require us to look in different places to find the battery level. Some will show it on the Camera Live stream, some devices require us to go into settings under the Device Info area. There isnāt a lot of consistency and it can be spread around in different groups and positions or have different ways to check it. This becomes especially difficult for people who may have dozens or more devices to have to track down each one individually. If we could easily go to a single place, such as a card in the Account Tab, it would be so great to see the Battery level and maybe battery type of every device we have that is using a battery.
In this battery management page, it would be nice if each device activated on the account was displayed with what the battery type is similar to this:
| Device | Battery Type |
|---|---|
| Wyze Band | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Buds | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Buds Pro | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Cam Outdoor v1 | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Floor Lamp Controller | AAAx1 |
| Wyze Gun Safe | AAx4 |
| Wyze Headphones | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Lock (Original) | AAx4 |
| Wyze Lock Keypad | AAx2 |
| Wyze Lock Bolt | AAx4 |
| Wyze Robot Vacuum | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Room Sensor | AAAx2 |
| Wyze Scale | AAAx4 |
| Wyze Scale S | AAAx4 |
| Wyze Scale X | AAAx4 |
| Wyze Sense Climate Sensor | CR2032 |
| Wyze Sense Contact Sensor (v1) | CR1632 |
| Wyze Sense Entry Sensor v2 | AAAx1 |
| Wyze Sense Hub | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Sense Keypad | AAx3 |
| Wyze Sense Leak Sensor | CR2450 |
| Wyze Sense Motion Sensor (v1) | CR2450 |
| Wyze Sense Motion Sensor v2 | AAAx2 |
| Wyze Video Doorbell Pro | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Watch | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Watch 44 | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Watch 47 | Rechargeable |
| Wyze Watch 47C | Rechargeable |
But I would recommend the following fields:
- Device Name in the app
- Device Model
- Battery Type (as shown above)
- Battery level if known (percentage or whatever measurement is used, maybe a graphic for the ones that donāt show a percentage, or say āUnknownā or āCheck Manuallyā for those that canāt be checked through the app).
- Since some devices arenāt constantly pinged (Lock Bolt, Gun Safe, etc), it could be good to included a date/time last checked/known, or maybe state here which batteries canāt be checked remotely, or include a field next to each for how to find out what the Device battery level is.
A page with something like this would be excellent:
| Device Name | Model | Battery Type | Battery Level | Last Checked | How to check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Back Door Sensor | Entry Sensor V2 | AAAx1 | Normal | (date/time) | Settings-Device Info |
| Backyard Cam | WCO v2 | Rechargeable | 40% | (date/time) | Home Tab; Live Stream; or settings area |
| Bedroom Safe | Gun Safe | AAx4 | 8% | (date/time) | Open Lock in app when nearby (see graphic); Settings - Device Info shows percentage |
| Living Room Temperature | Climate Sensor | CR2032 | Low | (date/time) | Settings-Device Info |
| Office Lamp | Wyze Floor Lamp (Controller) | AAAx1 | Unknown | Unknown | Check Manually |
| Watch | Watch 47C | Rechargeable | 59% | (date/time) | Open Watch in App, look up top |
Could be better to sort it by Device Model instead of Device name. I wonāt be picky. And since it will be on a mobile app, maybe Just the device name and Battery Level showing on the screen and then more details will show if someone clicks on it. Iām just giving an example above of something I think lots of people would find really helpful. Wyze already basically collects and has all the above information so it should be fairly easy to just have a dedicated Battery Management page people can pull up to see all Battery Device details all at once. Iāve already looked up all the Battery Type details for you all in the above table. If youād like someone to do the same for āHow to checkā the battery status for the different ways for every device, someone could easily check or write that up too. But the main thing would be a general area to check what our battery level is on all our devices without having to search around in different places.
Does anyone have any other suggestions/ideas?

Notification for all battery operated products sent directly to the user. Instead of having to check each device for battery status.
Iām pretty sure all of mine send me push notifications through the app already. Which devices arenāt sending you a notification when the battery is low?
Battery camera pro.
The only way I know the battery status is to bring each one up.
