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
