Battery

[Pako]

I realized that here is missing a plugin that would monitor the battery charge status.
So I created one.
Any opinion on this is welcome!

Hi Pako,
I get an error message, when I save the configuration of the plugin.

Traceback (most recent call last) (1640):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\Scheduler.py", line 137, in MainLoop
func(*args, **kwargs)
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\Battery\__init__.py", line 498, in worker
if task[1] == ST.LongTask:
AttributeError: 'Scheduler' object has no attribute 'LongTask'

The Events seem to work anyway.

I forgot to point out that this plugin requires the EventGhost version r1669 or later.

I have updated EG. The plugin works now.

I have an additional remark. Perhaps it would be better to fire an Event when the percentage is in a defined interval and not a certain value. Otherwise it could happen that the percentage is skipped when the polling period is too Long.

This way it works.
The event is triggered if the obtained percentage is less than or equal to the set value.

At the moment I have no additional comments. The plugin works fine.

Hou must i put the plugin in EG. I can`t get it woring.

1) In the folder ...\EventGhost\plugins you create a new folder Battery
2) Using the right mouse button and "Save as" you download the file __init__.py from first post
3) The file you save into the folder you created in step 1)
4) Restart your EventGhost
5) Add new plugin to your configuration tree

I dont see the plugin. I save it the way you explane.

It is at least strange.
Are you sure you did it exactly as instructed?
Please open the Python Shell window (Help menu) and type two commands as in the attached picture.

Code: Select all

import os
print os.listdir(eg.pluginDirs[0]+"\\Battery")

Then put the result here.

It looks right.
I do not know what's wrong.
Please try EventGhost run with command line option -debug.
The log file will be created.
In Windows 7 it is located in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\EventGhost\Log.txt.
Please attach the file here.
