 usage:

 

- the `manual refresh` bypasses the default 5min refresh -- useful if you just added a new device

 - the `add device` opens up bt setting on GNOME, it can easily be set up to work on your DE of choice by changing line `99` on `main.py`

## Installation

1. clone this repo to your home directory via:

    `git clone https://github.com/antoniofs23/bt-battery-indicator.git`

2. In app directory run the `INSTALL.sh` file (first make it executable via `chmod +x INSTALL.sh`)

>

>[!NOTE]

>*the install file assumes python is already installed (which it normally is)* if not python3 is required prior to running `INSTALL.sh`. To quickly check if python is installed run `python -V` in your terminal

## running the app

The app should auto-start on login.

However, it can also be run through the `bt-battery` terminal command
