rainyx/istat_menus_logitech

A plugin that shows Logitech Wireless mouse battery state in iStat Menus.app.

Prepare

Ensure that Logitech G HUB.app already installed on your Mac, we need to use lghub_agent for retrieving the device's state.

How to use

First, build the Xcode project and put libistat_menus_logitech.dylib to somewhere. Add DYLIB_INSERT_LIBRARIES env variable to com.bjango.istatmenus.daemon.plist and com.bjango.istatmenus.agent.plist, they are placed at /Library/LaunchDaemons and /Library/LaunchAgents directories. The file content is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    ......
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
	<key>DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES</key>
	<string>/your/lib/dir/libistat_menus_logitech.dylib</string>
    </dict>
    ......
</dict>
</plist>

Finally, reload service by two lines commands.

❯ launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.bjango.istatmenus.status.plist
❯ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.bjango.istatmenus.status.plist

Now, your Logitech devices will appear in iStat Menus settings panel, with proper configuration, the device's battery state is available in menu bar items.
