To prolong battery life i am looking to charge between 20-80%.
Can anyone suggest a way to automate charging until 80%? I keep bouncing ideas in my head, but i cannot get further than a smartplug with a timer set for the approximate time when the charge would hit 80%. Other ideas: HomeAssistant to control the smart plug. But how would HomeAssistant read the charge of the CE04 battery?
Or maybe a smartplug with an integrated meter and HomeAssistant to stop charging when current drawn is at a certain level. That would mean I would need to hope that current drawn changes when battery hits 80%, something i am not confident would actually happen.
