What does the systemd service file do?

[ngoonee]

The basic functions are good (on/off, status). I don't understand what batterycm-switcher.service does though, as its not running, and starting it just results in an immediate:-

systemd[1]: Started Batterycm-Switcher Function Key Backend Service.
systemd[1]: batterycm-switcher.service: Deactivated successfully.

And yes I do have acpid.service running.

Also I'm guessing the config_charging_threshold doesn't apply for Lenovo laptops (only for huawei)?

This feature is require enable_receive_funkey to 1, you can change it using batterycm-switcher config.

Also I'm guessing the config_charging_threshold doesn't apply for Lenovo laptops (only for huawei)?

This because the feature is optional, you can enable it by batterycm-switcher auto. But the batterycm-charger.service is conflict with batterycm-switcher.service and other commands. If you want to use funtion key and switch command, the first thing is do batterycm-switcher noauto

Sorry for the bad experience, I will add more detailed description to README in the future.

Ah okay I overlooked the enable_receive_funkey. My Vantage key on the Legion 5 Pro (Fn+F9) doesn't seem to be detected by xev though, so probably not useful for me.

You can type acpi_listen -c 1, then press your funtion key, see the output and fill the keymapper_listen_event.

e.g. My ideapad s540:

❯ acpi_listen -c 1
 1F649C73-D9C5- 000000d0 00000000

Then I fill it with:

keymapper_listen_event=" 1F649C73-D9C5- 000000d0 00000000"

Ah at first I thought it wasn't working then I realised the space in front. For the L5Pro I have it is keymapper_listen_event=" 1F649C73-D9C5- 000000d0 00000000"

Thanks, this works (even though there's no UI feedback so hard to immediately tell without checking with batterycm_switcher status)

You're welcome, I'm now pool skill with UI feedback, but you can try the voice feedback.
