iOS/iPad battery level monitor in Homeseer
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 7:22 pm
I would like to monitor the battery level of my iPad in Homeseer and start the charger when the battery level is below a certain level, and stop charging at i.e. 100%.
In Hstouch you can monitor the battery level with text '[$BATTERY]'. Unfortunately it isn't possible to parse this value into a virtual device.
I searched for an app that monitor the battery level and send automatically, periodically or at predefined levels an email to Homeseer.
With a other script it's easy to import the battery level from the email text into a virtual device and start the charger.
I found an app, named 'Last Alert', which could do my requests, but it use also the GPS module to send the location, which costs a lot of battery power, say 10% per hour.
If you turn off the location setting for that app, the app crashes, so it's no option to turn it off.
Has somebody an other idea to monitor the battery level of my iPad in Homeseer?
