- baby_souffle 1y agoOr even a way to communicate this to the charger from the phone using the vendor extension to PD protocol negotiations…
- LeifCarrotson 1y agoSwitching between 500 mA, 2.1A, and USB-PD or QC is technically simple, but again you're making consumer electronics for a very, very small group of people. How would it determine when the attached device reaches 80% state of charge? Or what the time of day is? How could you program a schedule for weekdays and weekends? There are good reasons for Chargie to have an app, it's not just there to siphon up analytics.
- timando 1y agoI'm thinking something like a switch on the side to switch between slow, fast, and using the app.
- hulitu 1y ago> How would it determine when the attached device reaches 80% state of charge? The same way it determines that the battery is fully charged. It is a solved problem.
- rcxdude 1y agoThis information is not available on the USB-C connection. The 'charger' is simply a power supply, it does not actually manage the regulation of current into the battery.
