Show Battery Percentage in "Devices" overview

In the UI in the devices overview the battery percentage isn't shown. I see a battery but that is it. Would be good to see on the overview what the percentage is so that I don't need to click on the device to monitor the state.

Need to have a screen option that lists all the cameras battery status.   Now you have to do it one at a time... or they could put the % remaining in the bayyery icon instead of a green bar.

Add the battery charge percentage number inside or next to the Battery Icon located upper left next to the WiFi icon. Would be nice for a quick glance.

I couldn't agree more.  I just happened to be looking for the battery life for my camera's using the website and thought it would be great to be able to see the percentage on the Devices tab rather than having to go into the configuration settings.  Using the configuration information, you have to go back and forth to see the percentage for each camera.  I found it to be ironic that the first post here was just a few hours before I ran a googl search... "can arlo pro show battery percentage on Devices page?"

I like this idea because it would let me know at a glance what camera batteries need to be replaced.

Hello,

 

I would like to request a feature that seems pretty straightforward and obvious but isn't available for the Arlo app or website. The battery level indicator should show the percentage of charge in a numeric value or level remaining without having to click the settings icon on each camera manually to see the battery level. I appreciate the fact that Netgear shows the Arlo battery level has a dynamic updated icon but it would be a lot more helpful if that same icon could display the percentage also in a numeric form. It's really inconvenient to have to click all 15 of my cameras manually to see the battery level especially on the slow loading app. Please add this minor change to the app and website

This is comical. Here is an ald thread asking to have battery level on the page with all the cameras from over a year ago. You fixed it then broke in in 2.6.1. Please fix it again.
