[Feature Request] Remote/Controller Status/Battery Level

[gregflynn]

I'm currently setting up flex-launcher and one thing i was going to setup conky with transparent background for was controller statuses.

Why?

• Feedback that a remote or a controller has been connected and recognized
• In the case of wireless controllers/remotes that report it, we can show battery level

The "how" could be interesting. If you think this is a universally useful feature to bake in, it could be a first class widget like the clock. Or you could go the i3-wm style route and make a line that can be populated with stdout of a command run on a configurable cadence to populate a custom widget. Happy to riff on other alternatives too

This all came to mind after I decided the transparent background + conky route wasn't worth the caveats.
