Get Battery Status to use as trigger

Stephen N

Lurker
I want to use my phone going on charge as a trigger. The problem is that my phone doesn't have wireless charging on board so I added a Wireless Charging Receiver that plugs into phone. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't register as charging when my phone is placed on a wireless charging mat. I assume that the charge is not large enough to register.

I am hoping that there is a way to get that charging value using Tasker but I have been unable to find a method by Googling. I have found the Battery Monitor v1.3 but can't figure out how to get any usable values out of it.

Any suggestions?
 
If the phone doesn't register as charging, is it actually charging? Just curious: you'd think that if the status bar shows it charging then the status would be set, and it doesn't take a lot of current to get that symbol to show (a basic computer USB-A socket will do it). I've no experience of wireless charging (it doesn't appeal to me), so maybe this is normal, but I can't imagine it charges slower than a PC's USB socket.
 
Don't know if this is any help but when I plug in charger I have tasker say battery is being charged.
(Power AC) (Say)

At every 10% I have tasker say battery is at x%
(Battery Changed) (Say)

Anyway I hope it helps you, or someone.

Never mind my previous post, I should have better read what you'd written. That said, wouldn't STATE > POWER > BATTERY LEVEL work as a trigger?
