You can use Macrodroid, IFTTT, and a smartplug to automate charging of the phone battery.

I use that to limit charging of my phone battery overnight to hit 70% only then stop (smartplug turns off the charger). The charger turns on again at 5am to take the phone battery up to 100%, just before I wake up. So I still take my phone off the charger every morning fully-charged.

With the recent firmware update, my S21 now supports Adaptive Charging and Battery Protection. What it does is limit charging to 85% only to preserve battery life. You can leave the charger indefinitely and the battery won't go above 85%.

Hey, can I you a question? In IFTTT I can see an applet that trigger when battery is 15% which I can use to turn on my smart plug. But I can't find a trigger to turn off smart plug when the battery reached 80%.

I'm planning to use my spare tablet as a under the monitor display which will be always Screen on like a smart clock and will dump some of the functions like spotify on that small tablet. So it will be perpetually connected to a charger with a smart plug.

Do I need an IFTTT pro to see trigger for 80% battery?

Had an errata in my previous post. I was actually using Tasker (and not Macrodroid) with IFTTT. Although I do use Macrodroid for other automations as well, just not on this battery stuff.

So Tasker ties into the Android system to read the battery percentage and sends out a web request to IFTTT to turn on/off the smart plug based on the conditions I've set (ie. Time of day and battery %).

I didn't use the native IFTTT Android integration because, as you've discovered, it didn't have a selection to define an upper battery limit. Until then, it has to be done the slightly harder way.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try your way. I did it just now using notification. Tasker will create a notification with certain keyword if battery reaches certain percentage and IFTTT is configured to listen to that notification.

Your solution is more elegant and clean. I'd try to learn that.
