Different charge rules and limits for wall power vs dock power #1131

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I am traveling and sporadically charging from wall power, I find it more useful to set the charge limit to 100% and disable "Stop charging when sleeping". When on a desktop dock with power passthrough, I find it more useful to set the charge limit at 80% and enable "Stop charging when sleeping".

Describe the solution you'd like Set different charge rules and limits for wall power vs dock power. Dock devices may be detected.

Hi @mojoba,

Thank you for the improvement suggestion. This might be a good addition to the Shortcuts feature. We just need to figure out how to distinguish between different chargers.

Best, Matthias

I would like to have thresholds (and maximum charging power) linked to charge source, eg to be gentler on my off-grid system and stop it cutting out.

[EDIT 2024-01-28: keeps cutting out again as I missed noon; would be good to set (say) a ~20W power limit for the car charger that I am using for off-grid. Failing that, maybe a "retry periodially" option for top-up would work for my case, though I think less good.]
