Hi, Is there a way to retrieve the battery level (or at least its status) of an 433 Mhz device ? "Battery" tag is showing undet RFXmngr. Thanks

Yes, both RSSI (signal level) and battery status, if available, are present as properties of the status field of the message object. Not all devices send battery status, but environmental sensors like the ones you show generally do. This is a packet from a remote control, which doesn't send battery status:

You need to set the debug node to show all message properties, not just payload. Double-click the debug node, and set the Output to 'complete message object':
