This does not look like a library to me, but rather a case for buildPythonApplication.

The software seems a bit rough around the edges, but generally seems to work.
$ ./results/bluetooth_battery/bin/bluetooth_battery
Usage: bl_battery.py <BT_MAC_ADDRESS_1>[.PORT] ...
Port number is optional
Easy enough. But what do they mean by a port? And where to I find the MAC of my bluetooth devices?
$ ./results/bluetooth_battery/bin/bluetooth_battery --help
<blocks>
Fine, bluetoothctl has those. My headphones are connected and I'm listening to music. Let's see how this goes:
$ ./results/bluetooth_battery/bin/bluetooth_battery CC:98:8B:XX:XX:XX
CC:98:8B:XX:XX:XX is offline (111, 'Connection refused')
$ ./results/bluetooth_battery/bin/bluetooth_battery CC:98:8B:XX:XX:XX
Battery level for CC:98:8B:XX:XX:XX is 50%
So yeah, seems to work generally. I'd love me some upower integration here. Until then, let's use this. Thanks for packaging it up, @cheriimoya.

mmh yea, so the maintainer of the original code responded to a recent issue of mine, i think you have the same issue right there... this fork has a nice readme update on how to find the bluetooth MACs i didn't quite get the "port" part of the project either, i think it's more like a bluetooth channel (i guess?) and for the upower part there is also an issue |
also the same headphones 😄 Thanks! |
Motivation for this change
I have a bluetooth headset that's capable of reporting the battery state. This tool allows for reading the battery percentage from my bluetooth headphones. I'd like to have this upstream, because i use it in my statusbar and it may be useful to many people.
