This module reads battery status
Description
This module reads battery status from /sys/class/power_supply and uses udev to monitor for changes.
Note that it is common (and "normal") for batteries to be in the state unknown under certain conditions.
For example, some have been seen to enter the unknown state when charging and the capacity reaches ~90%. The battery then stays in unknown, rather than charging, until it has been fully charged and enters the state full.
This does not happen with all batteries, and other batteries may enter the state unknown under other conditions.

| name | string | Battery device name | |||
| manufacturer | string | Name of the battery manufacturer | |||
| model | string | Battery model name | |||
| state | string | One of full, not charging, charging, discharging or unknown | |||
| capacity | range | capacity left, in percent | |||
| estimate | string | Estimated time left (to empty while discharging, or to full while charging), formatted as HH:MM. |
Configuration
| Name | Type | Req | Description | |||
| name | string | yes | Battery device name (one of the names in /sys/class/power_supply) | |||
| poll-interval | int | no | How often, in milliseconds, to poll for capacity changes (default=60000). Set to `0` to disable polling (warning: many batteries do not support asynchronous reporting). Cannot be less than 250ms. | |||
| battery-scale | int | no | How much to scale down the battery charge amount. Some batteries report too high resulting in bad discharge estimates. Default=1. | |||
| smoothing-secs | int | no | How many seconds to perform smoothing over for battery discharge estimates. Default=100s. |
