Getting the battery level of a Bluetooth headset on Mac OSX

I would like to know if it is possible to get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device (for example, a headset) on Mac OSX.

I'm looking for a command line or a library that would offer this possibility.

Thanks.

All you need to do is pair and connect a Bluetooth device to your phone. Once you've done that, open the Settings app and go to Connect Devices. Tap Bluetooth (not the switch next to it). You will see a complete list of all connected devices and their battery level with some exceptions.

There is no easy way to get this information without special application.

There is an app especially designed for this only purpose - called AKKU.

It worked with Bose and Sony's headphones (checked)

Remember to download version 0.1.0-beta.10.

The app works after restart.
