kdeconnect-cli is a command-line tool that allows users to interact with the KDE Connect service. It provides a way to send commands, access device information, and manage connected devices from the terminal.
This tool is particularly useful for scripting and automation, allowing you to control your devices from the command line. kdeconnect-cli can be used to send SMS messages, trigger device actions like ringing or pausing media playback, and retrieve battery status or other device information. It provides a flexible and powerful interface for interacting with KDE Connect's features without a graphical user interface.
The availability of functionality depend on the connected device and the supported features for that device.

The --device option requires a device ID. Use kdeconnect-cli -a to list available devices and their corresponding IDs.

Ensure that KDE Connect is running on both the local machine and the remote device for kdeconnect-cli to function correctly.
