Is it possible to integrate sensor for Blink Battery Level? Now we can see only if battery status is ok.
Attached is configuration log from ha and the data is available. Please add it for catalina and for xt2 models.

It looks like the data is there. You should be able to see it something like
cameras.Esterna[battery]
in the json string.

Yes, I think so.
But battery_level is not visible as Entity right now.

That likely means the device is not exporting it.

There are links in the pinned post where you can ask for hardware updates from some of the integrations. What is exported from the device is not part of what HA does, the device has to provide it.

Wait, battery_level is there now. If that is in the JSON string use that. Or did you put that there?

How to do that?
