I have now got a project to use Baron 2G/3G for first time and one thing i missing or at lesast can not be finding is how to check status on the battery?

Can i setup like a event if battery going under a value so i get a notification somewhere time to charge the batterry?

Are you looking for this?

It works pretty much the same as on the Electron.

BTW, it’s Boron 😉
