Airpods Pro systemd service crashes

[dodalovic]

Maybe this could help:

● airstatus.service - AirPods Pro Battery Monitor
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/airstatus.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2021-12-28 09:51:09 CET; 571ms ago

When I execute the command /usr/bin/python3 /home/dodalovic/me/projects/opensource/AirStatus/main.py /tmp/airstatus.out, it works just fine, stays running indefinitely

Hello @dodalovic,

Does something show up with journalctl?

[Movisivi]

My output keeps saying that no module named bleak found even though I installed the requirements.txt.

[Movisivi]

I figured it out. I was doing pip install instead of sudo pip install on requirements.txt. After doing that and systemctl enable airstatus and a reboot, my percentages look to be displaying properly.

[Movisivi]

Forgot to mention, you also have to have ControllerMode=dual in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf for the percentages to show up.

@delphiki I'm getting this via journalctl:

@dodalovic You probably forgot to install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

[dodalovic]

@delphiki After doing that, and restarting service, i still have:

Also, the numbers read are way different from the ones i see on my IPad. Not sure why though.

[Movisivi]

@dodalovic Dude, add SUDO in front of pip install! I literally told you how to get it working.

[dodalovic]

Thx @Movisivi, but it's not related to that. Also, I prefer not to use sudo for installing dependencies. :)

I get the following error:

 /usr/bin/python3: can't open file '/tmp/airstatus.out': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

What might cause the problem?
