Description Elvis Angelaccio 2016-12-14 13:35:33 UTC
Hi,
not sure if this is the right place for this request. Anyway, I got the Microsoft Designer bluetooth mouse, but its battery does not show up in `upower -d`. Any chance this could be fixed?

Without the hardware it's really hard to implement. Are there any linux tools that can read the battery level, even command line tools?

I don't know about spcific tools. Plasma can send notifications when the battery level is low [1], I think they query upower via dbus?

Which is also what "upower -d" does. So it's using something else.

It seems upower 0.99.7 implemented support for this mouse: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=ccb1b0ed96baf5937d1bc36d5b4b0c65eb873964

(Thanks Bastien!)
