SteelSeries Arctis (7/Pro) + Debian 10: only notifications on switching off the headset #3

Open SebStaeubert opened 3 years ago

Hi,

the only notification i see is, when i switch off the headset: "SteelSeries Arctis (7/Pro) Battery level 0%"

Output for 'headsetcontrol -b' `Found SteelSeries Arctis (7/Pro)!

Battery: 89%`

Output for 'headsetcontrol -b -c' 89%

I have german locales active. Output for 'locale' LANG=de_DE.utf8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8" LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8" LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8" LC_ALL=

Is this probably a problem? Switching to "C.UTF-8" does change anything.

Kind regards, Sebastian

Hi,

I'm using the de_DE.utf8 locale as well, so that's not the issue :smiley: The software will only show a notification if you get below "thresholdWarning", 30% battery state.

You might also get a notification if your headset switches into charging (or from charging mode).

What notification would you like to see?

Additionally to the headsetcontrol notifications, I'm using a XFCE4 panel item, called "Allgemeine Überwachung", which just runs a shell command every 5 seconds and displays it's return value in the top bar. If your desktop environment supports this as well, I could send you this shell script to display the battery state at all times.

Hi Tobias,

thank you for your reply. A 30% warning is great! Thx.

I think a useful info could be a notification on connecting resp. power on the headphone which includes the battery percentage.

Regards, Seb.
