why write that then?

cuz i didnt know how to do it efficiently with python

people keep telling me that but idk how

does the smart plug have an api?

think so

it works with IFTTT and Alexa n shit so i assume so

start there

well i dont have the plug yet so ill redesign it when i get it

have my laptop charger only be receiving power when the laptop needs to be charged

cronjob will check every 5 minutes for if it's 20% or under

cuz it looks like all you are doing is querying the status of the plug and then running a switch statement

yeah like i said it was just a skeleton of the program

does your laptop not auto shut off the power when fully charged?

err script

do laptops do that?

mhmm

<:Thonk:414176518936330241>

well the power brick gets really fucking spicy hot and i just wanna minimize that

lol

because as i said

my laptop serves as my linux server

i dont use it, it's just for SSHing

it's just an old 2012 gaming laptop

if its getting hot then its charging up, so your battery is discharging.

it being a gaming laptop means its power draw would be more than normal laptops.

yeah thats why ive been srsly thinkin bout getting a rasp pi 4

or an odroid

but once it reaches 100% theres an auto cutoff to prevent overcharging

lol you should. i keep telling you 😛

lol

i've got a trip to Fry's Electronics for my 20th birthday in a week planned so yeah ill get somethin
