Automatic charging of notebook battery

[Paulo Vasco]

I would like help to create an automation when the notebook battery is 95% charged, it turns off the smart socket sensor. And when it reaches 10% charge, it turns on the smart plug sensor.

Has anyone done something like that?

@paulo-vasco, I downloaded this BatteryInfoView tool and ran it on my laptop with this command:

d:\tools\BatteryInfoView.exe /scomma d:\tools\battery.csv

This is the output I got:

C:\Users\Russ>type d:\tools\battery.csv
Description,Value

Battery Temperature,

Full battery time for the current activity (Estimated),
Remaining time for charging the battery (Estimated),
Total  time for charging the battery (Estimated),

You could write a script that loops once per minute and reads the Current Capacity (in value from that output.

The script could run one command that turns on your smart switch when the battery gets low, and another command that turns the smart switch back off when the battery is full.

Those two commands could be tcmd commands like this:

d:\tools\tcmd.exe -t calculator -c russhp

Instead of calculator you could make it something like switchon and switchoff, then use this method to run an Alexa routine that flips your switch on and off when you run those commands.
