How to set an automation to turn off charging
" but it did not works for me. can you send more screen shots or Video, thanks a lot ,
Sir, can you help me step by step , after i choosing control home what should I do?? Advice, thanks.
First, i choose battery level, rises above 80% then next , add action ....home control, then what .?
You need to put the charger on a HomeKit controlled switch. When you reach 80% turn off the switch.i have searched for iphone charger or accessories and scenes but no way
Ok...good point thanks , but the screen shot above says we can disable iphone charging by some steps !!
Although this thread is iOS 15, I guess its topic is universally valid.
I was searching for a solution that works without Homekit or WiFi but uses any other trigger (Bluetooth, LED, Sound, ...).
But then I looked at the chart again and suddenly it doesn't seem worth anymore... unless I read it wrong:
Assuming I need 30% charge per day, I can use my phone from 75%-45% and charge it daily.
> Then I have 87,69% capacity left after 6000 cycles.
Or I can use it from 100%-40% and charge it only every two days.
> Then I have 86,85% capacity left after 3000 cycles.
The more convenient latter option results in a battery health only worse less than one percent (0,84 %)?
EDIT: In regard of the high number of cycles, it's probably hard to apply the findings to phone charging.

Hi,
I have got my smart plug to cut off when my iPhone is charging to 80%. However, how do I apply this to other devices such as my Apple Watch, IPad and MacBook when plugged? This automation seems to only work with my iPhone. I would like it to apply to which ever device is charging.
Thanks

I can only speak for the iPhone/iPad. For each device you have to create an individual automation that triggers your shortcut.
For my MacBook I use AlDente which works independently of any smart plug.
How do I set up iPhone charger in accessories? It asks for a set up code (when setting manually), but where is it on the packaging?
