I think case only displays when it is charging or when one earbuds is placed in case. But I am not sure.

Any case, can you upload the log

Case Battery: Found the bug and fixed it.

ButtonMode: It seems to work when you select Ambient mode and No fucntion mode. But Playback mode headphone doesnt respond.
I am guessing your device use PlayBack_with_limitation instead of Playback control. I haven't found a way to query what kind of Assignable setting device support.

But I made some changes using PlayBack_with_limitation you can test it.
If it still doesn't work, may be you could figure it out.

Here is a brief description how to read packet payload.

I refered to Gadget Brigde code, which the whole project is based on. But it uses a fixed packet type without making a request to query what device support.

Later I found another project SonyHeadphoneClient which kinda query support function and assign everything such inquiry bytes, gui to be presented based on that. So it would just work on all sony devices. but it is quite large. Since my work was already based on Gadget brigde, for some thing that do not work, I started using similar method to SonyHeadphoneClient project.

Equalizer:
Queried support function and set inquiry type assigned for setting/get equalizer.
Also seperate function for settings preset and custom.

Let me know how it goes.

Now I can see the case battery, but not the earpiece batteries.
Equalizer presets and controls now work.
Button settings still don’t work - they don’t show the current state and the functions can’t be changed.
Voice notification volume always starts at the maximum level, although the slider itself works correctly.

Battery i accidently removed code for dual battery when fixing case:-/. Pushed a fix.

Can you send me the log again. To check voice notification and button mode response.

Regarding Voice notification volume might not be supported for your device.
However Voice notifcation switch might be avaialbe. Check in sony connect app if Voice notifcation setting switch or volume is available

For buttonMode: Found the 1 bug, the message type was incorrect . Still do not know if request mode needs to be 0x22 or 0x20.

Try testing both.

https://github.com/maniacx/test-bluetooth-battery-meter/blob/41e2f9df253d8e305cd4d871fa9eb85b5e580ee1/sonyConfig.js#L123

It is 0x22
buttonModesLeftRight: ['ambqa', 'pbwl', 'na'],

For 0x20 change it to
buttonModesLeftRight: ['ambqa', 'pb', 'na'],

Also added a request for get button mode capabilities. Let see if it response or if I can decode it.
Upload logs after test.

Thanks for all the testing.

Regarding Voice notification volume might not be supported for your device.

The slider worked and I could adjust the volume, only the initial state was detected incorrectly.

The buttons settings now work.

Thanks for all the testing.

No problem, it's interesting :)

[maniacx]

Ok. I have enabled voice notification volume.
Could you test and upload the log.

I added requestButtonModeCapability fn yesterday. Just want to check if the bud responds with a packet.

@G-dH

Thanks. i could not find decoding logic for the packet.

Anyways can you try the extension, in SONY branch.

Once installed, it will display battery level provided by bluez.
You need to enable sony device to enable socket connection, to get left, right and case level with ANC controls

Any GUI / extension related logs, you can monitor using

journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell

Any socket related log can be monitored using

tail -f /tmp/bluetooth_battery_meter/service.log

[G-dH]

Unfortunately, the buttons configuration works only sometimes. Usually switching to the Ambient Sound Control and Not Assigned works, but Playback does not. However, initial state is wrongly detected, both selectors on first item on the menu.
Ambient Sound switcher does nothing and the slider always returns to the initial position.

Only this one error in the log.

Thanks @G-dH

Push fixes. Test it and let me know.

[G-dH]

All seems to be working fine now.
