Tmux Wifi Signal Strength

Enables displaying transmit rate value and status icon in tmux status line.

TPM Installation

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'sleekybadger/tmux-wifi-signal-strength'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

If format strings are added to status-left or status-right, they should be visible now.

Manual Installation

Clone the repo:

$ git clone git@github.com:sleekybadger/tmux-wifi-signal-strength.git ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/wifi_signal_strength.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

If format strings are added to status-left or status-right, they should now be visible.

Usage

Add #{wifi_signal_strength}, #{wifi_signal_strength_bg} #{wifi_signal_strength_fg}, or #{wifi_signal_strength_icon} format strings to status-left or status-right tmux options.

Example:

set -g status-right "#{wifi_signal_strength_icon} #{wifi_signal_strength}"

Examples

Signal strength low:

Signal strength medium:

Signal strength high:

Signal absent:

This is done by introducing new format strings that can be added to status options:

• #{wifi_signal_strength} - will display transmit rate value
• #{wifi_signal_strength_icon} - will show a icon
• #{wifi_signal_strength_bg} - will set the background color of the status bar based on the transmit rate value
• #{wifi_signal_strength_fg} - will set the foreground color of the status bar based on the transmit rate value

Customization

By default, these values are used:

Option	Value.	Description
@wifi_signal_strength_high_msg	#{rate} Mb/s	Used to display rate when rate >= 200
@wifi_signal_strength_medium_msg	#{rate} Mb/s	Used to display rate when rate >= 100 && rate < 200
@wifi_signal_strength_low_msg	#{rate} Mb/s	Used to display rate when rate > 0 && rate < 100
@wifi_signal_strength_off_msg	Off	Used to display rate when rate == 0
@wifi_signal_strength_high_bg	colour015	Used for background color when rate >= 200
@wifi_signal_strength_medium_bg	colour015	Used for background color when rate >= 100 && rate < 200
@wifi_signal_strength_low_bg	colour015	Used for background color when rate > 0 && rate < 100
@wifi_signal_strength_off_bg	colour015	Used for background color when rate == 0
@wifi_signal_strength_high_fg	colour034	Used for foreground color when rate >= 200
@wifi_signal_strength_medium_fg	colour202	Used for foreground color when rate >= 100 && rate < 200
@wifi_signal_strength_low_fg	colour196	Used for foreground color when rate > 0 && rate < 100
@wifi_signal_strength_off_fg	colour000	Used for foreground color when rate == 0
@wifi_signal_strength_high_icon	█	Used for status icon when rate >= 200
@wifi_signal_strength_medium_icon	▆	Used for status icon when rate >= 100 && rate < 200
@wifi_signal_strength_low_icon	▄	Used for status icon when rate > 0 && rate < 100
@wifi_signal_strength_off_icon		Used for status icon when rate == 0

You can change these defaults by adding the following to .tmux.conf:

set -g @wifi_signal_strength_high_msg "Hello world #{rate}"
set -g @wifi_signal_strength_low_bg "colour000"
set -g @wifi_signal_strength_medium_fg "colour201"
set -g @wifi_signal_strength_off_icon "⮃"

Don't forget to reload tmux environment after you do this:

$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
