[Linux] Read AirPods state from BLE broadcast when not connected

[tim-gromeyer]

It now shows the exact battery levels and ear detection status, even when the airpods are not connected!

@kavishdevar Would it be possible to add a feature to android/linux, which allows syncing the enc/irk key between both?

My Android is not rooted, and this would allow me, to at least see battery status on Android, without needing my laptop (Once both keys are synced).

Maybe we can add a pairing process between them? By using a ble broadcast?

And please don't just merge, but do "Squash and merge"

You can manually set the IRK and the encryption key in the app settings.

I think for a one-time use, we can instead use a QR code!

I'll keep that in mind :)

Oh nice, didn't know that!

Yeah sounds good, with the phone Bluetooth mac (for cross-device), enc and irk key? If yes I would start implementing it right away!

Only the IRK and encrpytion key for now. I have something else in mind for cross-device (based on BLE).
