Code is good to go to testing, just make sure to remove "defaults.txt" from the defaults folder before the plugin goes to production. Just a formality since I see you are making use of the plugins directory but the defaults.txt file will be included in the build on the production store if it remains.
Can't wait to give this plugin a try myself, been looking to make or use something like this for ages. Much appreciated!

Was finally able to give this a run myself, works very well but for some reason my local desktop client was unable to pair to my deck. I'll be trying again tomorrow. |

Also @Firemoon777 if you can remove the defaults.txt from the defaults folder. Your license and other stuff looks good as far as I can tell. Thanks for the awesome plugin that implements the KDE Connect protocol (even if it's just a partial implementation) which is not a simple feat and very worthy of praise. |

@TrainDoctor, thank you!
I noticed that KDE Connect for Windows sometimes unable to find Steam Deck. But also it losts my smartphone with original KDE Connect for Android, thats why I ignored any PC-related issues during development. But I didn't meet any pairing issues. Can you provide more details about your issue? |
I am running KDE Connect on Arch Linux. Basically my android phone detected the deck instantly and paired easily. My phone is on the WiFi (same DHCP lan) as my PC and my steam deck as I was testing on the dock. I could not pair the deck to my PC in this scenario. I'll try with some additional other devices. |

(I'm not a contributor here) I installed this from the testing repo and it works great, thanks for making it! However, it looks like Decky's built in toast notifications do not respect the system-level settings on notification sounds by default, and since this plugin does not change the As you can imagine, if someone is texting me quite a few times, these sounds will become a bit distracting 😅 Is it possible to add a plugin setting that allows us to toggle the notification sound on and off? It looks like some info about doing that programmatically is here: |
|
This plugin has been running well for me on Stable SteamOS and Prerelease Decky Loader. If another @SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-testers or one of your end-users @Firemoon777 can concur with me I can send this to production. |
|
@TrainDoctor I tested this and it seems to be working fine. It even works alongside the KDE Connect plugin for remote control, though the Deck shows up as two devices on the client, one for notifications and one for control. I'd say this one is good to go. |
