KdeConnectTray

This program allows you to use Kde's "KdeConnect" features on any environment that supports System Tray Icons.

While KdeConnectTray is able to configure KdeConnect by itself, some plugins will still need Kde's SystemSettings.

Features

  • Device pairing, without the need of Kde's SystemSettings (which is still required for some plugins custom configuration).
  • Device notifications management.
  • Energy monitoring (battery status and charge/discharge extimation)
  • Usage and notification statistics

Requirements

  • Python 2.7
  • python-dbus >= 1.2.0
  • PyQt4 >= 4.11.1
  • KdeConnect >= 1.0.3
  • KdeConnect app installed on the device. You can find it on Google Play or on F-Droid.

Installation

Installation is optional (the script can be run from the main directory), but recommended.

Standard system installation:

sudo ./setup.py install

Single user installation:

./setup.py install --user

If you want to keep track of installed files, append --record files.txt to the command line. If you want to delete it afterwards, just run:

cat files.txt | xargs -d '\n' rm -rf

Usage

If you didn't follow the installation procedure, run ./KdeConnectTray from the main directory where you cloned the project. Otherwise, just launch KdeConnectTray as any other installed program.

Once started it will try to find available devices in the current network with the KdeConnect app installed. Select the device and press "Ok". If the device has not been paired ("associated") yet, press "Pair" and accept the request on the device, then press Ok. The device will be rembered, but you can change it in the settings dialog (right click on the tray icon).
