Can my phone's battery info be sent to Bangle?

I'd like to make a widget that shows my phone's battery percentage. I looked through the documentation and failed to find anything about the phone sending information about itself to my Bangle.js 2. ("Failed" because I may have missed it, even if it is there...) Is this possible?

Thanks!

I haven't looked myself. But if no one else comes back with an answer I'd suggest looking at https://gadgetbridge.org or at https://developer.android.com/reference/ (both links assumes you have an Android device).

I'm not sure if Gadgetbridge provides the functionality (although you could do a PR to add it).

If you don't want to write any code for the phone, you could also look at Tasker - this is an automation app for Android.

At https://www.espruino.com/Gadgetbridge under Android -> Bangle we show an example of how you can get Tasker to send a command to Bangle.js, so assuming Tasker can get your battery percentage (which I bet it can) you're sorted

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
