I tried to install on Windows using pip install bluetooth-battery. But I get a "Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required" error. Before I go to the trouble of installing MSVC to install this tiny package, has anyone here successfully compiled this under Windows, and if so what steps do I need to take to do it? (And is it possible to get a pre-compiled version?)

A developer has released a software which can read all advanced/proprietary values for the Samsung Galaxy Buds, including detailed battery levels and more. I wonder if the translation from .NET to Python can be done for Linux.

There is so much information that can be obtained.

Hi.
My bluedio headset won't show IPHONEACCEV if it's not connected to some mobile device first.

Solution:

add

     send(sock, b"OK")

before

elif b"IPHONEACCEV" in line:

Well, this is more a support issue but I don't know where to ask.

I had to disconnect my JBL bluetooth earbuds to get battery level like said in issue #58

But now, when the device is powered up but not connected the white LED is gone. You can see it flashing very dimly, when the device is disconnected but it is off after that.

The white LED is laso off (not visible) when you power up the device after that.

How can I get it back on when the deivce is powered up but not connected.

The LED is blue when connected.

Moreover, now, when you power it up, it automatically connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to, instead of waiting a connection, whit the white LED on.

OS: Lubuntu with latest updates
Bluetooth device: iHome speaker

When I run your script it gives the following output:

$lucas:~$ ./bl_battery.py FC:58:FA:EA:74:FC
FC:58:FA:EA:74:FC is offline

However the device is certainly online, I'm playing music from it now. Here it is on here:

Any ideas why this is happening?

I've got this working on an old Win10 machine and that's all good. But on a new Win10 machine (same Win10 build 1909) with the same Python version (3.7.2), I can't seem to get this to run.

At first, I thought maybe it's to do with Pybluez. So I've tried installing v0.23 as well as v0.3. Both Pybluez versions installed fine and I was able to install bluetooth_battery OK as well. But whenever I run it, I get the same error message regardless of which Pybluez version I'm using.

I get the word "down" instead of percentage, I know that is something I have done/not done, but would you know right off?

Add to Readme.md that it requires python3. If you call the script with python first, it will force to use the version you specify, overriding python env. If you call the script directly will use env.

./bluetooth_battery.py -> Reads #!/usr/bin/env
python* bluetooth_battery.py -> Uses the specified version overriding #!/usr/bin/env

I have an MPow flame 2 and a flame S now. The S shows battery level in android. How can figure out the commands needed to make it work? Script always returns connection refused or device busy on all ports.

When i tried to execute script, i got this message.

    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH,
AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'

you know any solution for this?

i believe is some about my system config, but i can't find anything about this, i can isolate the problem using:

$ python -c "import socket; socket.AF_BLUETOOTH"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

Thhank's for project, is really useful

Hello,
Success install it in Ubuntu 20.04, try to check the headset battery got reply "is offline (111, 'Connection refused')"

1. sudo apt-get install python3-bluez
2. pip3 install bluetooth_battery

TQ

Awesome script!

However, it's quite cumbersome to set up for use with multiple devices, each of which may need a different port, or may need some other hacks (like #23). Perhaps it would be a good idea to collect a list of such known devices and their settings somewhere, and then use that list to figure out what to do? The obvious place to put it would be here, in this repo.

Same issue as #3:

./bl_battery.py <MAC>
<MAC> is offline [Errno 111] Connection refused

As the percentage might be wrong when a dock state is received, perhaps there is a way to just error out in this case?

Is there a way to connect to Apple Magic Keyboard on Windows 10? I tried 1-30 ports but none worked- i get ADDRESS is offline. Tried disconnecting/re-pairing.

I am trying to turn the script to a Polybar module so that I can have the battery information there. I have been successful in getting the values, and have made a few changes so that it shows an icon instead of just the level. Problem is, the values are not consistent. When I run this, it keeps flipping between two values e.g. 70 and 80%. I do not fully understand how the script works, so a little elaboration may help me understand.

I'd like to add a new device. But I am not sure what steps to take.

Please provide a document how to add new devices!

Great project, thanks for your work.

That being said, the script seems to have an issue that it requires you to disconnect from the Bluetooth device first, then connect through it by launching your using ./bluetooth_battery.py <MAC ID>. Is there a way to automate this process, so that it does not require you to manually disconnect first?

Thanks.

Hi,
I have been wanting something like this for a long time, so thank you for making this.

I have a Jabra 65e bluetooth headset. It shows the battery level when I connect to my phone. When I run this script however, for every port other than 3, I get an Errno 111 Connection refused.

However, when I run it with port 3, the script gets stuck. Specifically, the s.recv(128) function does not return in the while loop on line 81.

I don't know anything about low level network interfaces, so can you help me figure out what might be going wrong?

Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to create a script that checks the battery status at regular intervals. My headphone also has a mic so I have to switch Bluetooth profile from A2DP to HSP/HFP since A2DP doesn't allow mic and speaker to work simultaneously. Since the release of Pulseaudio v. 11.0 this profile switching can be performed automatically. (I've followed this guide to do so. It works.)
But if the script runs while I'm on HSP/HFP profile the headphones become unresponsive. I have to restart the headphone to get them working. Any workarounds?

@TheWeirdDev Does this library work on Mac? I'm getting "module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'"

It seems like there's no easy way to install python with bluetooth support on mac os x or install libbluetooth-dev. Any help would be much appreciated!

As stated in the readme:

Try port numbers 1 to 9 to find the one that works for your device. (wait a few seconds between each try)

However, my WH-1000XM3 works when I specify port number 10 (and doesn't work for any port in 1-9 range). CC @chaoscreater BTW, try disconnecting, reconnecting and then running ./bluetooth_battery <MAC>.10 . I suspect this may also be true for other headsets.

For more general use (with other programs, for example), it might be easier to get the MAC address using a command-line param.

When running the script for the first time after connecting the headset, it fails with an OSError:

$ ./bluetooth_battery.py 38:18:4C:XX:XX:XX
38:18:4C:XX:XX:XX is offline (111, 'Connection refused')

The headset is properly connected and my laptop is transmitting sound, no problems there.
If i run the script again it works as intended, also for any subsequent executions of the program...
I don't know much about bluetooth at this point, but my guess would be that the socket is somehow not properly connecting (just a random guess).

Would be nice to have this as a daemon that could report battery level to UPower (so that it could in turn be picked up be the DE and shown in the local battery reporting applet)

First, like others, I was unable to successfully execute the command, but...

when I disconnected my headphones and reconnect them again, the software is enable to check the battery level.
Now, every time I ask for the battery level I hear "connected" in my headphones.
Is it normal?
I want to do a script to alert me when the battery is under 50%, but if the "connected" sound is present I can't do it.

Installed using pip method.

Every time the script is run, the headset is connected and then disconnected - and this model (Audeara A-10) - tells you so via the cans! It's a bit disconcerting when listening to music and it prevents the use of the script in a monitor eg "check every 30s and pop up a warning when <10%"

@ChaosCreator mentioned this in #33 I think, but I thought I'd raise this as a separate issue.

I thought I'd try and remove some of the bluetooth dialog and see if affected the outcome, hoping that it would eliminate the annoying 'connected/disconnected' messages. This was the minimal dialog that works for me:

R: b'AT+BRSF=959\r'
S: b'+BRSF: 1024'

Battery level for F0:23:B9:50:CA:54 is 80%

... but it doesn't remove the connection messages!

As I had no success via PIP I thought, let´s try a container as there are the libs guranteed.

I created the container and faced no issue during building but I can not run it not as user nor as root.
I always get the following error (regardles if root or user):
