Hi, @Jacksonbm1. Battery service can only be used as a child service to another service.
I also just noticed that the indicator in the "expected" image is actually a "low battery" indicator. Not intuitive, but I understand why it's happening. Thank you
Without any jokes: whether it is good or not to have a battery working properly as child service only, this is by design made by Apple. In case you would like to have it differently, you can try to write them (and possibly join a group of thousands of users demanding the same) and request a change to it. While fully understanding that a standalone battery does make sense these days, we cannot change this.
Thanks for your understanding
Yeah I understand. That wasn't directed at you, but more a general thought.

What happened?
Basically, I've added a battery service and it's displaying as a tile that's not supported (I can click on it and see what the values are, but it doesn't work as you'd expect). I would expect to see the a sensor value, but instead I see a tile. See pictures below.
What my dashboard looks like:

How to reproduce?
Run my code or create and populate a battery service.

Additional comments?
This is my first time using this node, so I may very well be misunderstanding something. I also redacted the homekit code from the copied flow
