automatic_battery_charge.md

When having a wifi controllable socket you can automatically using ifttt and smart life charge your Mac Book Pro.

• First you need to connect your smart life account with ifttt
• Then you have to create a webhook action to turn on and off your socket
• Download the battery.applescript and local.battery.plist files to your computer and load them using launchctl. More information on stackoverflow

battery.applescript

do shell script "pmset -g batt | grep InternalBattery | column -t"
set x to the result
set remaining to the word 10 of x
set state to word 7 of x
set percentage to word 6 of x as real

if remaining contains "remaining" then
	if state is "discharging" and percentage < 20 then
		do shell script "curl -v -XPOST https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/battery_is_low/with/key/supersecretkey"
	else if state is "charging" and percentage > 80 then
		do shell script "curl -v -XPOST https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/battery_has_been_charged/with/key/dsupersecretkey"
	end if
