List of battery life for each camera in new Home app?

[freefallfly]

Previously in the Google Home app, when you went to Cameras, you'd get a list of cameras, and only cameras with wired power would automatically live view. One press on a battery powered camera would show its estimated battery life (in percentage, and days/weeks/months). This was useful as I could easily see which of my 10 cameras needed charging soon.

In the new Home app, when you go to Cameras, you get a live view of every camera, which wastes their battery. Pressing a camera takes you to another live view and its activity history, but the only battery life indicator you get is an icon of about 3 possible states, which is next to useless. Now I have to go further down into the settings of each individual camera to see the real battery life.

Is there a page I can go to in the new Home app that will easily show the estimated battery life of each camera in one place like the old Home app had?

Actually I've realised you can press the battery icon on the second page to view more details of the battery estimate, so it's only one more press per camera compared to before. Still wish it wouldn't live view the battery powered cameras automatically though.
