Working AirPods Pro Widget (MacOS Ventura)

Discussion & Questions
1

Does anyone have a working AirPods Pro widget that shows battery percentage and controls functions? I am running MacOS Ventura and cannot get any of the previously shared widgets to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the same problem. :frowning:

Someone would need to adapt the widget on Ventura.
The best way to get the data is as follows:

set bluetoothData to do shell script "system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType -json"

The AppleScript already provides the correct values in a JSON structure (under "device_connected"):

…
"device_connected" : [
  {
    "Beoplay EX" : {
      "device_address" : "00:09:A7:86:E6:0B",
      "device_batteryLevelMain" : "100 %",
      "device_minorType" : "Headset",
      "device_services" : "0x802019 < HFP AVRCP A2DP Braille ACL >"
    }
  }
],
"device_not_connected" : [
…

With the AirPods, this is even done separately for left and right.

Unfortunately, I no longer have AirPods, since I switched to Bang & Olufsen, so I can not make the adjustments myself.

For anyone else following:

I spent the last 45 minutes going back and forth with my new openAI Plus subscription. Using chatGPT4, the following applescript/bash was created and it works great on my system (MacOS 13.4 Ventura.). NOTE: YOU MUST REPLACE 'shaferz AirPods Pro" below with your own airpods name

set bashCommand to "system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType | grep -A 20 'shaferz AirPods Pro:'"

try
    set output to do shell script bashCommand
on error errMsg number errNum
    set output to "Error: " & errMsg & " (" & errNum & ")"
end try

if output is not equal to "" then
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"\n"}
    set batteryLevels to paragraphs of output
    
    set leftBattery to missing value
    set rightBattery to missing value
    
    repeat with lineText in batteryLevels
        if lineText contains "Left Battery Level" then
            set leftBattery to last word of lineText
        else if lineText contains "Right Battery Level" then
            set rightBattery to last word of lineText
        end if
    end repeat
    
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
    
    if leftBattery is missing value then
        set leftBattery to "Off"
    end if
    
    if rightBattery is missing value then
        set rightBattery to "Off"
    end if
    
    set BatteryLevel to "L: " & leftBattery
    if leftBattery is not equal to "Off" then
        set BatteryLevel to BatteryLevel & "%"
    end if
    
    set BatteryLevel to BatteryLevel & "
R: " & rightBattery
    if rightBattery is not equal to "Off" then
        set BatteryLevel to BatteryLevel & "%"
    end if
else
    set BatteryLevel to "L: Off
R: Off"
end if

return BatteryLevel

When one airpod pro is disconnected, that row will read as 'Off'. The only 'bug' I can find at this point is that at some point, Apple has made it so that when you put an airpod into the battery case, it does not immediately disconnect from my macbook. It remains 'connected' for 10-20 seconds. This is even evident in the top macos toolbar as well. Eventually, MacOS realizes that the airpod is put away and is no longer connected, but it isnt instant anymore like it used to be.

Does anyone else want to give this a try and see if it works for you?
