Laptop battery status? #214
-
|
Hi! I've got the custom integration set up, and it's neat to have all the info in HA, but I'm missing battery info (because it's probably not a standard setup). My Proxmox server is running on an old laptop, so it has a built-in battery, and I'm trying to find a good way to have the info sent to HA for battery conditioning (keeping the battery between 30-80% charge). There are a number of parameters stored in the sys folder for the device, but the main one is capacity: I'm wondering if there's an easy way to add this to my config manually? |

I don't see the possibility of this being included in the API, if it exists it could be included in the integration. However, you can use an alternative similar to the script for sending CPU temperature information to send this information. Good luck! |

Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply! For now I set up a Python script that runs on the server and sends it to HA via mqtt: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/using-proxmox-on-a-laptop-with-a-battery/584549 Cheers! |
