Bluetooth Device Battery Display

[hutbrummer]

Hello,
I have some bluetooth audio devices (speaker and headphone) which have no build in way to display the remaining amount of battery.
within the Bluetooth settings of my phone (Samsung galaxy s8+) it displays the remaining amount of battery in percent.

is there a chance to print that data into a notification or other message when the device disconnects?

Best regards and thanks for your help

Try the Baton app - I'm not certain but I think it can do what you want, or something similar which might be acceptable.

Bluetooth Batterie logging

Hi, I would like to track and save my different BT devices battery level to check it and notify me when they running low. But in my macro the trigger fires and stores in the wrong variable: When i connect the Headset it stores also the percentage of the headset in F8 variable which is a BT...

My global variable BTdev is set with [bluetooth_device_name] in another macro as this Magic text is only accessible when BT triggers are used.

I tried both macros but it looks like no intent is received.
how can I monitor the incoming intents?
or send a test intent myself through macrodroid?

when I makes a second macro to send an intent I always get an error:

MacroDroid --> Send Intent Failed --> No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.bluetooth.device.action.BATTERY_LEVEL_CHANGED flg=0x10000000 (has extras) }

Don't really know about Intents but maybe that's because you didn't send any extras with the intent.

hmm, doesn't let me to upload attachments.
However, i have added the two extras:
android.bluetooth.device.extra.BATTERY_LEVEL with value "99"
android.bluetooth.device.extra.DEVICE with value "Test"

I guess that's why the error has the ending "has extras"

Extra name is:
android.bluetooth.device.extra.BATTERY_LEVEL
Extra value is: *

I think you are mixing things now.

I have a macro, basically a copy from the already posted example, which is triggered by the battery_level_changed intent.




it did not fire when the battery level changed so I tried to create a second macro and send the intent manually, but this returns the error message.



I don't get any of the both macros to work and don't know why.

I'm not sure your 2nd Extra intent is correct and necessary.

For me it works for years as I sent it. The only thing is that it fires every 10 level change (100, 90, 80, 70...). As I only have 1 BT device firing, I don't know how it works with other ones.

After changing the last part of the second extra parameter to caps the macro works fine.

Thanks for your help and pointing me into the right direction.

Hi,

the first "extra" receives and stores the state (-1[off], 100, 90,..). The second "extra" receives and stores the MAC adress of the device. So I could read out friendlynames from a dictionary.

Works perfectly fine.

Could you attach the working macro?

Both of them don't work

Have you tried waiting some more ?

I actually tried only with the Test trigger, but I think it should have worked anyway.
Edit: just tried to re connect the device and now it seems to work
