5.53.11 is available from the Play store
Xiaomi Support Thread

- Start date
I am happy to report that upgrading to 5.53.11 (as suggested by dhj49er) fixes the {battery} problem I've been seeing (thank you MD developersand and dhj49er!) However, the Power Connected action and constraint functions still always returns false even with a charger connected. The Power Connected and Power Disconnected triggers are all working. Hoping this will be fix in the next release - many thanks.

Did you submit a bug report through the troubleshooting section of the app?
Yes I did.

Apologies for the late reply.
The Power Connected condition or "function" is actually a "...condition to be satisfied in order to run the actions within an <If clause> action". I should have used the term, Power Connected condition instead of action as in my previous post - sorry for the confusion. Anyway, it can be accessed as follows:
Add action -> Conditions/Loops -> If clause -> [ADD CONDITION] -> Battery/Power -> Power Connected
Similarly to use it as a constraint for an action:
Add constraint -> Battery/Power -> Power Connected
Hope that helps.

I have updated my MD to 5.53.18 from the Google Play Store.
Like 4896, the power connection is always False in POCO X7 PRO under Triggers→Power Connected→Any.
{battery} is now fixed and returns normal values.
Like you, I have just updated MD to 5.53.18 only yesterday - my preliminary testing shows that the Power Connected condition is working fine on my Redmi Note 13 Pro+. The only difference is that I updated my MD though the Beta channel and not from the Play Store.

The previous version also works fine immediately after rebooting the smartphone, but 10-20 hours after rebooting, the charging/discharging status is also not updated.
I did not reboot after updating MD to 5.53.18. I have rebooted and will report back tomorrow.
I also did not reboot my phone after updating to 5.53.18 - and I will also keep an eye out to see if eveyrhing still works tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
I have booted up my smart phone after shutting it down and it has worked fine for over 24 hours.
Thanks dhj49er and 4896!
Glad to hear that everything is good for you, sofofiwa. It has been over 72 hours since I'd updated to MD 5.53.18 and the Power Connected condition is still working well for me too. Hope it continues that way!
Hello sofofiwa,Android uptime was no longer working properly at 1days 19 hours.
Sorry to hear that it is still not working for you but no worries; I may have a solution which might bring back the smile to your face. I have been using this workaround/fix right up until I installed 5.53.18. Just follow these steps:
1. Remove the Power Connected constraint in your Battery Level trigger
2. Add this instead -> Add constraint -> Macrodroid Specific -> Compare Values
3. Assign type to Decimal
4. Assign {battery_current_now} to Value 1
5. Select < (less than) as operator
6 Assign 0 to Value 2
7. Click OK and save the changes
Some explanation : {battery_current_now} is the value of the current the phone battery supplies or receives. It always return a negative value when the battery is receiving charge; otherwise, current flow will be positive when the battery is supplying charge to the phone. So, if the current value is below zero (i.e. a negative value) we can logically and safely assume that the phone is connected to the charger (i.e. same like the Power Connected condition or constraint). Thank goodness that MD has the {battery_current_flow} magic text and it is totally working fine in MD.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Hello 4896,
Thanks for your good ideas.
I was able to do it successfully using {battery_current_now}.
No worries and happy to hear that the workaround is working for you. Hope that will keep you going until MD releases a new version to fix the issue.
