Automagic Forum

I'd like my AM to notify me the charging current after connecting a charger to it. (And maybe even get discharging current when no charger is connected.)

Can you add an action that can get the charging current, Martin?

Charging current is one of the features that was added only recently to Android. My last tests showed that the function had some issues so I did not add it to Automagic yet. I add it to the todo-list to check again, maybe things got better.

Thanks for the new variables in the EAP version. But unfortunately it works only in Android 5. On my phone with Android 4.4.2 it isn't working

Yep, unfortunately it's Android 5 only. The new variables don't work very well, a Nexus 5 only returns values for one of the variables. I still have to test a few other devices.
It might be possible to read the values using an action Init Variable Text File from here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now or here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current or another file.

Thank you for that hint!
It works when I read this file: /sys/class/power_supply/sec-charger/current_now
