Feature suggestion: smart activation/deactivation

[ngoonee]

Would be nice to be able to deactivate conservation mode for exactly one charging cycle. So the trigger to reactivate it could be one of the following:-

1. Fully charged
2. Charge drops below a threshold (95%?)
3. Goes on to battery power

The reasoning is that the reason to disable conservation mode is normally because you need the battery life (for a movie binge perhaps), but when that's done, the next time you plug in you may be using the laptop for hours and want conservation mode on.

May be try batterycm-switcher auto, you can change 95 to [0~99] as your needed.
I'll consider your suggestion.

Thanks, I can't really find a description of what config_charging_threshold does though? Is it the limit to which it gets charged (which seems fixed to 60% on my Lenovo) when in conservation mode? Or the limit beyond which the status will be changed?

Edit: Is batterycm monitoring by polling the battery? Because I see a sleep 30 in the systemctl status

So I've managed to get sort of the behaviour I want by using KDE's settings (Under Power Management -> Advanced Power Settings -> Configure Notifications). I just call /usr/bin/batterycm-switcher on when 'Charge Complete' or 'Power source disconnected'. Haven't tested whether it works when charging in sleep mode, but the 2nd one should take effect nonetheless I'd guess.
