<![CDATA[Determining power dock battery level from command line?]]>Hi everyone,

Other than the external LEDs, is there any way to see what the current battery level using a command-line utility. It would be nice to be able to send out a warning and gracefully shut things down if the battery level is getting low.

I would settle for even being able to detect when we're running off battery power or not.

The battery controller chip does not have a communication line with the cpu only a GPIO to turn the leds on

$ power-dock -v is not very useful - especially when I'm remote. It's IoT, w/ wireless connectivity - I don't plan to have line of sight to the device all the time.

Imagine power-dock is like uname:
-a Print all
-s status: Charging|Depleting
-l level: nn.n
