The application and widget both now include a background service to report your watch's battery level and charging status. This requires [significant setup](BatteryReporting.md) via YAML in Home Assistant to work. This is not for the feint hearted! We are keen to received improvements, but are reluctant to provide much in the way of support. The Home Assistant community, in particular the posts on the forum at [Bluetooth Battery Levels (Android)](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/bluetooth-battery-levels-android/661525), are your best source of support for this feature. We do however offer this [trouble shooting](Troubleshooting.md#watch-battery-level-reporting) guide.

| 2.0 | A significant code base change to enable both a 'widget' version for older devices, e.g. Venu (1), and an application with a glance, e.g. Venu2. These two versions must now be distributed under separate application IDs, but they have the same code base. A further 20 more devices are now supported, the settings have been internationalised, and there's a bug fix for older devices when trying to display a helpful error message but instead the application crashed. This version has come from a significant collaboration with [Someone0nEarth](https://github.com/Someone0nEarth). |
| 2.1 | Deployment of an idea to provide Home Assistant with access to the watch battery level. Using this requires [significant setup](BatteryReporting.md) on the Home Assistant configuration and hence is detailed separately. Due to this, the default state for this battery option is _off_. Changed the application settings user interface to be more intuitive, and hence amended the way settings are managed in the background. |
| 2.2 | Adds a feature to cache the menu configuration and save the time taken for an HTTP request to fetch it. You as the user are responsible for managing the cache by clearing it when you update your configuration. Improvement to widget root display updates. Bug fix for battery level reporting when in the glance carousel. Fixed an uninternationalised string, "Execute". Unfixed issue with battery level updates when the user is not an administrator. |
| 2.3 | Fix for battery level updates where previously the function only worked for administrator accounts. The new solution is based on Webhooks and is simpler to implement on Home Assistant. Language support fix where an automatic translation produced an inappropriate word, possibly in more than one language. |
## Known Issues
1. On some (old) devices (e.g. Vivoactive 3, Fenix 5s & Edge 520+), the menu does not update correctly to reflect changes in state effected by an external Home Assistant control. E.g. when the phone application changes the toggle status of a switch, the Garmin application does not reflect that change until the menu is touched or scrolled a little. This is a [known issue](https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/menu2-doesn-t-allow-live-updates) already reported without a suggested software fix.
2. The [battery level reporting function](BatteryReporting.md) requires the user to have administrator priviledges. We are unable to fix this at present.
