So I just registered and have not enough Kharma to comment on the original post (but I can ask a new question and this makes no sense to me; go figure), but I got this excellent script from Will Cain from here (Get low battery notifications for mouse earlier), and I modified it a little.
The intention is to keep the battery between 20 and 80%, but I don't want the messages to keep appearing, for example, if the battery is lower then 20% but is already charging; or if the battery is highter then 80% and it's not charging anymore.
I'm pretty noob when it comes to bash scripting, though. But here's the general idea:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# actual battery level
BATT=`ioreg -c AppleDeviceManagementHIDEventService -r -l | grep -i keyboard -A 20 | grep BatteryPercent | cut -d= -f2 | cut -d' ' -f2`
#Device is charging
CHARG=`ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 | grep -i "magic keyboard"`
# defaults to warn at 20%; accepts other number as 1st argument (useful for testing)
MIN=${1:-20}
# defaults to warn at 20%; accepts other number as 1st argument (useful for testing)
MAX=${1:-80}
if [ -z "$BATT" ]; then
echo 'No keyboard found.'
exit 0
fi
if (( BATT < MIN )); then
osascript -e "display notification \"Keyboard battery is at ${BATT}%.\" with title \"Keyboard Battery Low\""
fi
if ((( BATT > MAX )) && ((CHARG != null))); then
osascript -e "display notification \"Keyboard battery is at ${BATT}%.\" with title \"Keyboard Battery High\""
fi
(Updated to reflect last version, as suggested by @mspasov in a comment, but which throws a syntax error at line 25 (the last "if").
#Device is charging CHARG='ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0 | grep -i "magic keyboard"' if ((( BATT > MAX )) && ((CHARG != null))); then osascript -e "display notification \"Keyboard battery is at ${BATT}%.\" with title \"Keyboard Battery High\"" fi
is returning a syntax error on this last "if" line? :(
