Suggestion: Add live battery meter

Hi, it seems like the battery in Apples "Find my" is stuck to 100%, I guess it is a quickfix until proper battery management is implemented. Thanks for a great app!
It's stuck at 100% because this is what our payload is set to advertise. I'm working on making this dynamic so we can see the actual battery level. Stay tuned, coming soon!
As far as I can tell, Apple has removed the ability to see battery % in the Find My app. I don't see it for my Flipper or any of my other air tags. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/21/apple-removes-airtag-battery-level-icon-find-my/
I have added this feature in the latest update! Battery reporting now reports the Flippers battery. There are only 4 battery states so the % in divided and then put into one of those states that matches the closest. Even with apple not showing the battery % in app, the data is still stored and parsed.
So you can see the working battery % with open haystack, macless haystack, my method, android, and any BLE scanner.
Hi again, running v3.5 on Momentum, and it seems like the battery is only updated when going in to the app, not when using it in the background.
