I’d think a single quote would work fine though i can see the possibility of it not working
You can escape characters with a backslash e.g. Otonan\’s AirPods.
The script’s condition is also an “if contains”, so that’s why only typing in the name partially should work.

Regarding the new UI setup:
A dropdown is not native to applescript dialog boxes so creating one is waay out of my league, and also I’m not sure how that would work while not connected.. I’d need airpods myself to code for that too, right now I don’t have any W1 accessories so It would be hard to code for it.
Also thanks for bringing up the case of illegal characters! I’d need to implelent some sort of rejection or auto-escape into the UI setup now I guess.

My preset had a beats widget from @GoldenChaos, I never saw the code for it but maybe it could be similar and all it takes to work is just changing the reference name..
Edit: ah on second read I see your bug, its displaying what it’s not meant to right? I’m not sure how I can find the issue out since I don’t have these ‘phones, but maybe take a look again at my or GoldenChaoses beats and airpods widgets and see how they differentiate themselves
Hi @everyone, I've just uploaded improvements and fixes to my take of the AirPods widget.
It has:
Improved, Neater Aesthetics
Super Sharp and Crispy Sub-Pixel aligned icon!
Automatic, No-Code setup
Error Detection that lets you reset the name if it can't find your AirPods.
And of course, the two line battery display for L and R AirPods
I think it's pretty ready to head out properly, but since I don't have AirPods I'd like anyone to test it and give me some feedback over at the post below.
Download development build d1.1 there and tell me how it behaves! (and what you think, too.)
This action is very nice! it works perfectly for me except for the alternate icon... I can't make it working...
The result when not connect is "\n" ("+new line+") but when I write that regex expression it does not works.. And obviously it does not works with an empty feild as well!
Hm, it works for me here.
Try to paste this script and replace the YOUR_AIRPODS_NAMR_HERE with your AirPods name (twice).
Script
return checkStatus()
on checkStatus()
--set myString to button returned of (display dialog "Connected?" buttons {"Yes", "No"})
--set myString to "name: DR-BT101 Connected: " & myString
(*uncomment line below when done testing*)
set myString to do shell script "system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType"
--initial check if it's not even there
if myString does not contain "YOUR_AIRPODS_NAME_HERE" then
return false
else
--find out if connected/disconnected
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "name:"
set myList to the text items of myString --each item of mylist is now one of the devices
set numberOfDevices to count of myList
set counter to 1
repeat numberOfDevices times --loop through each devices checking for Connected string
if item counter of myList contains "YOUR_AIRPODS_NAME_HERE" then
if item counter of myList contains "Connected: Yes" then
return checkBattery()
else if item counter of myList contains "Connected: No" then
return " "
else
display dialog "Error Parsing" --this shouldn't happen
end if
end if
set counter to counter + 1
end repeat
end if
end checkStatus
on checkBattery()
set OUTPUT1 to do shell script "
OUTPUT1='';
BLUETOOTH_DEFAULTS=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth);
SYSTEM_PROFILER=$(system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType);
MAC_ADDR=$(grep -b2 \"Minor Type: Headphones\"<<<\"${SYSTEM_PROFILER}\"|awk '/Address/{print $3}');

done;

set OUTPUT2 to do shell script "

return OUTPUT2 & "

end checkBattery
The output for the alternative icon should be space (" ").
If it still doesn't work, could you just copy the JSON of the file to your clipboard (right click on the widget) and send it to me in a private message? So I can take a look into it.
In two or three weeks (just let me pass my exams plz xD) you will also find and update of my Caliguvara C2 Preset, with a way better version of that widget done in collaboration with @yuuiko.
It will also be kinda integrated into an all new AirPlay widget I just finished, more to come with the Update to C3, I don't want to spoil anything
Hi everyone, just update the script, which not requires your airpods name
The script returns 2 values - left and right Airpods battery level New Airpods Battery Script.json (63.9 KB)
The code is based on some code found here and elsewhere, so im happy to share. Took me days to get the bugs out and find a good process that works 100% of time in Catalina.
There are a few moving parts to what im doing here.
I can imagine I'm totally unable to find what part of the code to take out in order to get only the battery percentage as a return, and not the other value (I don't even know what this one is).
Placed it in its own preset. Im sure you'll figure it out. This works in Catalina and Mojave. Obviously, will only get battery levels when AirPod charging case is open or AirPods are connected.
