hi

Im looking for a script that output battery of the devices as a percentage. I have a script, but im using rechargeable NiMH batteries so it does not show the right percentage. Does anyone have a script that gets the percentage from bluetooth setting where it is displayed correctly?

Many Thanks
James

I don’t have the keyboard, so it’s not displayed in IOReg, for the mouse it’s BNBMouseDevice.
I recommend to google for bluetooth Keyboard battery level terminal
