Add Pixel Buddy plugin

[Phill544]

Add Pixel Buddy to Plugin Store

A Decky Loader plugin that lets you monitor battery and control ANC on your Google Pixel Buds Pro directly from Steam Deck. Inspired by MagicPods, they do not support Google Pixel Buds so this plugin fills that gap

Features

• Battery levels for left bud, right bud, and case, with charging indicators
• ANC mode switching: Noise Cancellation / Off / Aware
• Auto-refresh every 5 seconds

Before we review this, you mention that MagicPods doesn't have support for Pixel Buds Pro, have you considered PRing that functionality to MagicPods or asking the dev to add it?

I haven't reached out directly. There was a thread from last year that the support was requested by another user and it hasn't been acted on. Not sure whether it's a compatibility or willingness issue. I made this plugin for myself, as a Pixel Buds owner, so I wanted to share it with the community in case it would be beneficial to others too

Just to provide some confirmation from someone other than the developer, I own Pixel Buds that I use for my ROG Ally, and this would be very helpful for me as well.
