Simple bluetooth status

[ToxicMushroom]

Hope this helps some people to serve as a starting point or inspiration.
Sadly I couldn't get battery level readings reliably

Sorry for the noob bash style/practices

Connected

Powered on, not connected

Powered off

No controller (like unplugging your adapter)

[[end]]
type = "script"
cmd = "/home/merlijn/.bin/iron-bluetooth.sh"
mode = "poll"
interval = 5000
on_click_left = "blueman-manager"

The icons used require a nerdfont

BLU_CNT_CONTROLLER=$(ls -1q /sys/class/bluetooth | wc -l)

if [[ $BLU_CNT_CONTROLLER -gt 0 ]]
then
    BLU_POWER=$(bluetoothctl show | grep -q 'Powered: yes$'; echo "$?")
    if [[ $BLU_POWER -eq 0 ]]
    then
        BLU_CONNECTED=$(bluetoothctl devices Connected | sed -n -e 's/^Device \([[:xdigit:]]\{1,2\}:\)\{5\}[[:xdigit:]]\{1,2\} //p')
        BLU_CONNECTED_MAC=$(bluetoothctl devices Connected | sed -n -e 's/^Device \(\([[:xdigit:]]\{1,2\}:\)\{5\}[[:xdigit:]]\{1,2\}\) .*/\1/p')
        if [[ $BLU_CONNECTED != "" ]]
        then
            echo " $BLU_CONNECTED |"
        else
            echo " |"
        fi
    else 
        echo "󰂲 |"
    fi
else
    echo "󰂲 +  |"
fi

@ToxicMushroom Thanks so much for posting this - it really helped me to get started.

I managed to figure out the battery part via Prime451's answer here.

I have adapted your script to fit in with my use-case and paste it here in case it is useful to anyone else coming across this thread.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

BLU_CNT_CONTROLLER=$(ls /sys/class/bluetooth | wc -l)

if [[ $BLU_CNT_CONTROLLER -gt 0 ]]
then
    BLU_POWER=$(bluetoothctl show | grep -q 'Powered: yes$'; echo "$?")
    if [[ $BLU_POWER -eq 0 ]]
    then
        BLU_CONNECTED=$(bluetoothctl devices Connected | cut -d ' ' -f3-)
        BLU_CONNECTED_MAC=$(bluetoothctl devices Connected | cut -d ' ' -f2)
        DEV_BATTERY=$(echo "info $BLU_CONNECTED_MAC" | bluetoothctl | sed -n '/Battery Percentage:/ s/.*(\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
        if [[ $BLU_CONNECTED != "" ]]
        then
            echo " $BLU_CONNECTED $DEV_BATTERY%"
        else
            echo " None"
        fi
    else 
        echo "󰂲 Off"
    fi
else
    echo "󰂲 No controller"
fi

Thanks this also works for me :)

Here's a shot of the middle to right side so far.

Not publicly right now, but I'll try to put some up when my installation has settled a bit.
