Thanks for the reply! They don’t sell that here in Australia so got a meross instead.
Are you able to share your shortcut settings for stopping the charger at 80%? Sorry I’m new to shortcuts and smart homes.
There are 2 parts to this, add the smart plug in the Home app and create an automation to control when to turn off the smart plug from the Shortcut app.
Hone app:
When you get the smart plug, you will add it as a device to the Home app devices. In the Home app, press "+", "Add Accessory, follow the instructions given. Test to make sure that the smart plug is working by pressing on the smart plug device.
I created 2 Home app scenes, one to turn the smart plug on and the another to turn the smart plug off. Press "+', "Add Scene". Name the screen and select the smart plug device. Do the same thing for the other scene. Test to make sure the scenes work by pressing on each of them.
Shortcuts app "My Shortcuts" :
I created 2 shortcuts, one to turn on the smart plug and the other to turn off the smart plug. The reason for these is so that you can add them to your home page and use them directly. There is no way to add a Home app scene directly to the home page.
The shortcut for turning on the smart plug, in the shortcut app, "My Shortcuts", press '+' to add a new shortcut. Give the shortcut a name. "Add Action", select "Apps", select the Home app, select the scene you created to turn on the smart plug. It will be named "Run <scene name>". Next to the shortcut name field, is a blue circle, press on that and "Add to Home Screen". To complete the shortcut, pass the "x" in the upper right hand corner.
Do the same thing again for the short to turn off the smart plug.
Shortcuts app "Automation" :
Next comes creating the actual automation. In the Shortcuts app, select "Automation". Press the "+' in the upper hand corner, select "Create Personal Automation". Scroll down on the list and select "Battery Level". Select the kind of trigger you want, "Next", "Add Action", "Apps", Home app, select the scene you created to turn off the smart plug. It will be named "Run <scene name>". Disable "Ask Before Running", "Done".
Now use the automation.
When you want to charge something, select the shortcut you put on your home page to turn on the smart plug. Place your phone or whatever on the charger and when the battery level, on your phone, reaches the target trigger, the smart plug will be turned off.
That is all there is to it.
