How to get Oculus Rift/Rift S touch controllers battery level?

[HMathias13]

Hello,

I urgently need to access to touch controllers battery level from Unity, i know it's available somewhere because we can see the battery level in the Oculus Software, but I tried several ways and no method works:

1) In Unity, use Oculus Utilities asset's OVRInput.GetControllerBatteryPercentRemaining() method:
It returns 0 and the method's summary says "Retuns the battery percentage remaining for the specified controller. Values range from 0 to 100. Only applicable to controllers that report battery level, such as the GearVR Controller. Returns 0 for controllers that do not report battery level" so i concluded that Touch Controllers don't report battery level to OVRInput.

2) In Unity, use the OpenVR.System.GetFloatTrackedDeviceProperty() method as it's adviced here: https://answers.unity.com/questions/1478339/get-vive-oculus-touch-battery-status.html
The method returns a TrackedProp_UnknownProperty error for each controller device id.

3) Search in Oculus SDK (https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-sdk-for-windows/) methods:
There is no occurrence of "battery" word in the sdk folder and the ovrTrackingState::HandPoses and ovrInputState objects only provides position/orientation/velocity/accelerations/buttonPress informations.

Anyone has found a solution for this problem?

Just because it's accessible to the built in software does not mean they are gonna expose it for your own use.
