Anyway to know sensor battery levels before system notification?
Murphy's law is always around, whether it be computers, cars, or a SS3 system. My wife and I were away for one evening and the battery on a motion sensor was reported low hours after we left. No issue as we were back the next morning and I could replace it.
Later this year we will be on vacation for two weeks and would like to be proactive and replace batteries that are even at 25% of life. Is there a way to have support poll the sensors and report back ones that are a certain %? Willing to replace a dozen or two if necessary for an uneventful two weeks.

Maybe, but not currently with SS3 that I'm aware of.
The batteries are pulled into the Simplisafe Home Assistant integration.
And creates a binary sensor which my low battery integration should grab and send me a message and adds it to the to-do list integration, if it goes to not normal.
Perhaps, faster than SS notifications. Unknown.
It's my understanding that when a lithium battery has had it, they fail to flat, fairly rapidly.

Unlike open system sensors ie; Aqara Zigbee etc., which tracks in percentage.
I just replace all lithium every couple years for rarely used and for often used, once per year or so.
Inner garage door opens very often & lasted about 14 months before SS sent a message. Garage window, ❄️🥶, about the same amount of time.

Hi @captain11,
Unfortunately, our Support agents are not able to pull a live reading of a sensor's battery life to see its battery percentage.
