About this app

Charging Monitor – Always in Control
•   Checks whether your phone is receiving power from the charger.
•   Monitors wireless charging to ensure your phone is correctly positioned
    on the charging pad.
•   Sends an audible alert if charging is interrupted.
•   No smart plug is required for this feature.

Alert Only – Smart Notifications
•   Plays a sound when the desired battery level is reached.
•   No smart plug is required for this feature.

Smart Plug Control – Use Charging Power Wisely
•   Stops charging via a Wi-Fi smart plug when the target battery level is
    reached.
•   DefinedCharge works with Wi-Fi smart plugs that provide a local HTTP interface.
•   For example, it is compatible with Shelly® smart plugs that support HTTP relay commands.
•   No cloud connection or manufacturer account is required when using local control.
•   Supports smart plugs controllable through HTTP commands, e.g.
    http://192.168.xxx.xxx/relay/0?turn=off
    or http://192.168.xxx.xxx/relay/0?turn=on.

Target Charging – Wake Up with the Perfect Battery Level
•   Plan to reach a defined battery level by a specific time.
•   Example: You want your phone to have around 80% battery at 7:00 AM.
    DefinedCharge monitors the charging process, takes care of everything,
    and recharges overnight via the smart plug if the battery level drops below
    your defined threshold.

Jog Mode – Keep Your Battery in the Ideal Range
•   Keeps your battery within a user-defined range using a smart plug.
•   Charging starts when the level falls below the minimum value and stops
    when the maximum value is reached.
•   Charging occurs only when necessary, even if the phone remains
    connected by cable or on the wireless charger.

Temperature Monitoring – Safe Charging
•   Monitors the temperature during charging.
•   If the temperature rises above a defined value, an audible alert sounds
    and charging can be stopped via the smart plug.

Energy-Conscious Charging – Optimize Your Smart Home
•   Standby Killer: Activates chargers through the smart plug only when charging is actually needed.
    This avoids unnecessary power usage during standby.
•   Increase Efficiency: Reduce unnecessary power consumption and extend your battery’s lifespan – helping preserve hardware resources.
•   Resource Conservation: Make an active contribution to sustainability by preventing unnecessary overcharging and heat buildup.
•   The smartplug itself uses a small amount of energy —     but for many models, it’s significantly less than what a charger left permanently plugged in can draw.
