Battery Telemetry display in CLI?

I’ve noticed when running meshtastic --nodes the Battery display is always N/A in the table, even in the screenshots in the Docs, I’m assuming this isn’t working yet, but is there any way to get the Battery level via the CLI?

Indeed, there is an open issue for this. You can however check it using --info, then look for the ‘batteryLevel’ entry.

That makes sense and I see the option, thanks!

As a follow up, any way of getting this info on a remote node? I try with --info but I only ever get channel information, the preferences area is always blank

If you upgrade the CLI with ‘pip3 install meshtastic --upgrade’ you should be able to see it with ‘–nodes’.

Thank you!! That did the trick :slight_smile:
