bp-broadcast

A simple Script to broadcast battery percentage from your Android device to the internet.

Installation & Usage

First off install Termux and Termux-api apps from playstore on your device.

We make use of git ruby termux-api jq so we install all of those packages on termux next.

I was using termux-battery-status | grep percentage | grep -oP '\: (.*?)\,' | grep -Eo '[0-9]{1,3} to get battery percentage values previously but jq is an even more elegant method to parse json.

Install defunkter's gist by using gem install gist or any of the given methods in https://github.com/defunkt/gist login into your account and generate a token as instructed.

Once your done with above, place the bp.sh file in your home directory of termux using git clone and mv and generate a gist file for usage with the name you desire for usage with bp.sh replace those values in the script with the generated ones.

Apply suitable execution permissions for the script using chmod +x bp.sh and add it to your cronjob tasks using cronjob -e I run it every minute so it looks like : * * * * * ~/bp.sh

Finally start the job using crond and make sure it is running using pidof crond

Additional Information
