Workarounds

Smart Watch Battery Panel

In order to use smart-watch-battery-panel.sh you need to use a crontab or a systemd timer to generate the required information.

crontab -e
* * * * * /usr/bin/env bash /path/to/xfce4-genmon-scripts/adb-info.sh $(arp -e -n | awk "/98:28:a6:dd:00:8c/{print \$1}") battery ticwatch
  1. Replace the MAC address with the correct one. Hint: Use arp -n -a to get the MAC address.
  2. Replace the 3rd argument ticwatch, with a unique name that describes your device.
