Hello,
I need help with setting up Battery Current as Trigger for a macro I'm working on. Idk if it is possible.
So my phone has a feature called "Charge Separation" which stops charging the battery, and draws power directly from the charger and I can play games 24/7 without the battery running out.
I am using the Charge Separation feature with MacroDroid to limit charging the battery to 80% using the variable from the Global Table.
The problem that I am having is, the variable from the Global Table can't stop the battery from charging above 80% after 7 hours even if it is still turned ON so I always wake up with 100% battery which I don't want, to increase the battery life span.
It seems that the variable from Global for Charge Separation will only prevent charging for 7 hours, so I tried using a timer to turn OFF (as it stays ON) the Charge Separation and turn it back ON so I have another 7 hours and the macro repeats so I can keep the charger plugged in as long as I want, but the charging time can't be predicted accurately. Sometimes it starts charging after 7 hours 36min, sometimes 7 hours 48 min and so on, so my macro to limit battery to 80% either triggers too early or too late and it charges to 100%.
- Charging Limit triggering too early before 7 hours 36 min = still counts under that 7 hours 36 min so battery charges to 100%
- Charging Limit triggering too late = battery already charged above 80% with Charge Separation still turned ON and it just updates the value 1 to 1 so it doesn't work.
I noticed that MacroDroid can detect the Charging Current so I want to use that as a trigger as this seems to be the only way to accurately detect it. The charging current turns "0" when I turn on Charge Separation and when it starts charging I can see the charging current.
Is there any way I can use the charging current as Trigger for my macro or is there another way? I want to keep my battery at 80%. Thanks!
