## Requesting location updates via notification

You can now send a notification with just the message `request_location_update` and once it reachces your device it will update its current location in Home Assistant. Be careful using this too much though, as it can drain your battery.

## Sensors

New in version 1.7, we have added the first sensors to the app. For now, you will find the following new sensors:

- Battery percentage
- Battery state
- Current WiFi network information
- Current Wi-Fi network information

We plan to keep expanding sensors in the near future to add things like cellular status and more.

In addition to the tooling updates, we’ve also begun documenting Android and iOS differences. Keep an eye out for the Android and Apple logos to denote what works where.
