BatMon

A simple battery monitor tool that can notify you on battery status changes for FreeBSD.
Inspired by but in no way similar to batsignal - inspiring the basic function only. Written in pure Nim.

Requirements

Run Requirements

• apm
• notify-send

Build Requirements

• nim
• nimble

Installation

To install into your .nimble/bin directory

git clone https://codeberg.org/pswilde/batmon && cd batmon
nimble install

Running

# To run the daemon server notifier, just run:
batmon -d

# To run once and just show battery level, run:
batmon -o

Using

When importing Batmon as a module you have access to the get_battery_status() procedure which will return a Battery object you can use elsewhere.

Battery Type

type 
  Battery* = object
    status*: Status
    charge*: float
  Status* = enum
    High,
    Low,
    Critical,
    Charging,
    Unknown

Also, you have access to the notification handler module, where you can build and send your own notifications:

var n = newNotification("Title", "Body", urgency = Normal , timeout = 5000)
discard n.send()

ToDo

[x] Add similar functionality for Linux systems [ ] Use libnotify instead of notify-send
