SmartBatteryController

This python script uses the psutil library to read the battery percentage of the laptop. A donut battery indicator is used to display the current battery level on a small window. The color of the donut changes based on the battery level.

Red: below 25% | Orange: below 50% | Green: above 51%

The script enables automatic device charging with the use of TP-Link TapoP100 Smart Plug.

P100 firmware is the updated 1.2.1 version.

For this to work install and use the updated library from https://github.com/almottier/TapoP100

When battery level reaches 20%, the plug is activated enabling charghing.

When the battery level reaches 80%, the plug is turned off.

0.6 of a full charge cycle is maintained. Prolonging battery's life.

The program checks the battery level every 5 seconds to update the GUI.

The program checks if the plug needs to be turned on/off every 30 seconds.

Charging settings can be adjusted for different charge cycles objectives.
