Low Battery level → notification

[netikras]

I know users can see the transmitter's battery charge (%) when they open an app. However, some (many? most?) users spend their day w/o opening the app Activity and only rely on notifications (they are super handy!). Hence it's very easy to miss when the transmitter's battery gets low. And it's super annoying when a transmitter dies quietly when you're far away from any USB outlet (or don't have the charger on you)

My proposal is to create a warning notification (with a respective icon drawing appropriate attention) that sticks around in the notification bar/panel when/for as long as the transmitter reports its battery charge below the preconfigured level (e.g. 15%). The notification should be updated periodically with the current transmitter's charge.

What datasource do you use?
If Dexcom G5 or G6, this already exists:

Settings -> G5/G6 Debug Settings -> Adjust battery warning level

MiaoMiao + libre

if I'm seing it right, it's enabled, but there are no transmitter battery related notifications popping up.

@psonnera @keencave @tzachi-dar Sorry for tagging.
I know the optional warning exists already for Dexcom. Does it not exist for the Libre data source option?

Tried on my follower and it doesn't trigger anything. The issue mainly impacts MM2 users as battery lifetime is less than sensor lifetime.

As I was playing with Wear smartwatches I had the alarm trigger several times when the watch itself went below the alarm threshold. At this point I believe the bridge definition is a historical definition.
