i recently bought a mx master 3s and use solaar to have the battery indicator when using the usb bolt dongle . having a way to blacklist device would allow me to not have 2 battery indicator for the device when connected by bluetooth
when using the usb dongle
when using bluetooth
I've noticed the following errors in the logs recently:

This only appears after the extension has been unloaded, and occurs exactly every 30 seconds after this happens. My guess is that this is the callback on the signal for UPower updating the battery information is still being called, as the extension hasn't unloaded properly. It then tries to update the label and icon, which no longer exist, as those have been cleaned up by the shell.
I'm running the latest git version, from a clean boot, in case it was a bug from the previous version carrying through until a reboot.
I tried sorting this myself, but I can't follow the logic the code uses to clean up, as I can't seem to understand when _onDestroy() would be called on the WirelessHID class. Perhaps it's not being called, and the function should also call clean() on each device?
Currently, we have orange for low battery at 30%, and red for critical at 10%, however UPower uses 20% and 5% respectively, so the extension changing colours and the notifications sent by the shell don't line up.
@vchlum If you'd rather the values line up with upstream, I'd be happy to change it, otherwise I'll leave it and close this :)
Hi,
I think the coloring of the Widget is not compatible with the Guidelines for Gnome. It looks bad when only the mouse and keyboard icon are colored. Would it eventually be possible to show the icon in white, like other bar icons, and only make it red when the battery is low? Another idea I had was to show the battry by having the icon filling from the bottom with lighter white than the background of the icon to show a level like battery indicators do.
It's still a way off yet, but Clutter.Color seems to be going away, so we'll need to modify the codebase to work around that at least
I'll update this issue with other relevant issues as I find them, until the porting is done
Awesome, extension for my bluetooth keyboard and xbox controller! Unfortunately my mouse doesn't seem to be supported. Would it be possible to also add support for Razer peripherals? There already exists a project which leverages OpenRazer for that, but unfortunately I can't get it working on fedora 37 currently and it would be nice to have everything in the same place.
Hi,
I just upgraded my Gentoo to GNOME 42... and the extension has been disabled because it's not compatible with this newer version of GNOME...
Iade
Hi!
Can you add Gnome 43 to the metadata.json?
I've noticed that while upower and Gnome's settings app show my keyboard (MX Keys) is now at 50% power, the gnome extension doesn't see that yet. Is there some sort of refresh interval?
Currently in order to check the %, you need to click on the extension icon and I think it would be nice if the battery is shown in the bar itself instead.
Hi there,
Running Fedora 38 with Gnome 44, I'm seeing the following log statements every 30 seconds when browsing the users logs (e.g. journalctl -b).

(Sample with two occasions)
Your extension does seem to work properly, regardless the log statements. That said, would be nice if you could take a look to at least lighten the logs.
If no wireless device is connected, the empty icon can still be hovered by the cursor (left part of the image):
If no devices are connected there should be nothing at all, like in Removable Drive Menu.
on arch linux with the latest gnome packages installed since a few days ago the indicators always report -1% battery levels and keyboard icons. The hid devices are a keyboard and a mouse paired with the same logitech unifying receiver (in case it matters). Power levels are read correctly in the settings.
As described here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/issues/166 some devices are detected twice by upower due to an underlying kernel behavior related to some HID++ logitech driver, this therefore makes it so those devices are displayed twice in wireless-hid
The solution proposed to upower was to deduplicate those devices using the device serial number, but seems like for now that proposal was rejected. I believe we could do that deduplication instead in the gnome-shell extension.
I could send a PR with this, would such a contribution be accepted?
Hey, the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless seems to no get detected. https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl Is able to detect and control this headset. Would be greatly appreciated, if someone could make this work. Thx!
Hi, awesome extension!
Would it be possible to support disconnecting Bluetooth devices by clicking on the in the drop-down menu?
Bug is still happening as of Gnome 43.2 with the lastest version of the extension. (I don't know how to check version but I'm sure it's the latest). Re-installing didn't help.
As title suggested. Can be removed by turning the extension on and off again.
Tray indicator functions normally when device is connected. However just refuses to go away afterward. Please fix.
