Are there any similar applications/widget in Linux especially in KDE Plasma that can do this?

> Bluetooth devices now show their battery status in the power widget. Note that this cutting-edge feature requires the latest versions of the upower and bluez packages.

From the KDE Plasma 5.15 announcement [1].

The support for this in upower and BlueZ landed in 2017 [2] [3].

I am using KDE 5.20 with the latest upower and BlueZ installed, but bluetooth devices battery status doesn't show up in the power widget. I wonder if something isn't configured correctly.

In GNOME, the "Power" tab in the Settings app shows battery status from every device that it can. On a laptop, it shows current charge and time until fully charged. It has Bluetooth devices and even USB-connected iPhones.
