Tasker and Battery Charge Limit #205

Closed Shadeclan closed 1 year ago

Shadeclan commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to control Battery Charge Limit with Tasker? If so, how would I do it? In Tasker Tasks (Launch App), I can see the "LimitChangeActivity" but I don't know what data to send it to get it to activate / deactivate. I can also see the "activities.MainActivity".

You could just recreate the functionality of Battery Charge Limit in Tasker. Make a profile that activates when charging and charge is above the threshold. Enter task writes the "disabled" value to the control file (by executing a shell command as root, something like echo 0 > controlfile).

I looked at that and thought about doing that but in the end, I decided to uninstall Tasker altogether. I found that profiles involving app monitoring drained my profile. I found I could do what I wanted with Autoroid with a lot less battery drain. As far as Battery Charge Limit is concerned, I rethought how and when I charge the phone and abandoned my Tasker idea.

Yes, you can, absolutely! I recommend using a Broadcast for this, not the Intent/Activity way. See the very README.md of this repository for directions! ;)

BTW: I'm controlling the limit via an Automate Flow. https://mega.nz/file/AtdzCCDY#KH-pvO_TrtpiewfFsW8doZ-wsql7RSXrrpC-04OUrS0
