The Python script can be used to retrieve your Airpods' battery level. I personally don't use the Zsh plugin part anymore.
Get current battery level: python3 ./fetch_airpods_battery.py
Have the script contiuously write it to a file: python3 ./fetch_airpods_battery.py > ./out
The latter one can be useful in a Waybar config for example.
./airpods-battery.plugin.zsh is zsh plugin that looks for Airpods via bluetooth and displays their battery in RPROMPT.
It is probably not compatible with powerlevel9k or anything that uses the RPROMPT variable.
Because of Apple's decisions toward non Apple devices interacting with airpods, fetched values only go from 0 to 10 resulting in a ±5% precision.
git clone https://github.com/A-delta/zsh-airpods-battery.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/airpods-battery
And add airpods-battery to plugins in .zshrc.
You can simply run the script via python3 fetch_airpods_battery.py --format zsh > /tmp/airpods_battery.out or you can install it as a service:
Edit the following airpods-battery-fetcher.service service file template:
[Unit]
Description=AirPods Battery Fetcher for zsh plugin zsh-airpods-battery
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /PATH/TO/fetch_airpods_battery.py --format zsh > /tmp/airpods_battery.out
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Move the service file to correct location:
mv airpods-battery-fetcher.service /etc/systemd/user/airpods-battery-fetcher.service
Start service:
systemctl --user start airpods-battery-fetcher.service
Enable service on boot:
systemctl --user enable airpods-battery-fetcher.service
Install the service the same way as before except for the ExecStart part. Replace it with ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /PATH/TO/fetch_airpods_battery.py > /tmp/airpods_battery.out to use ANSI colors.
