This repository contains a Python-based service that checks the battery level of your system and provides alerts when the battery is low.

• Monitors battery level periodically.
• Sends notifications using battery (Linux).
• Automatically runs in the background as a systemd service after system boot.

Ensure the following are installed on your system:

• Python 3

  sudo apt install python3

• psutil (for notifications)

  pip install psutil

git clone https://github.com/goushalk/battery-alert.git
cd battery-alert

chmod +x battery_alert.py

1. Create a systemd service file:

   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/battery_alert.service

2. Add the following content to the file:

   [Unit]
   Description=Battery Checker Service
   After=network.target
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/your/battery_alert.py
   Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
   Environment="XAUTHORITY=/home/<your-username>/.Xauthority"
   WorkingDirectory=/path/to/your
   Restart=always
   User=<your-username>
   Group=<your-username>
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

   Replace /path/to/your and <your-username> with the actual path and your username.

3. Reload and start the service:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable battery_alert.service
   sudo systemctl start battery_alert.service

4. Check the service status:

   sudo systemctl status battery_alert.service

The script will run in the background and send notifications whenever the battery level drops below a certain threshold. You can modify the threshold by editing the script.

• View logs:

  journalctl -u battery_alert.service

• Test the script manually:

  python3 battery_alert.py
