Change name of "Battery" sensor to "Charger" #171
Description
This seems like quite an oversight. Maybe I missed something.
UPDATE: The problem is that the "Battery" sensor is misnamed. It should be "Charger" (or "AC").
There is no event for "Device is plugged in" (i.e. connected to AC)! "Battery is charging" is not the same thing and gives different results.
Thank you for your work.
PS: maybe a "Battery not discharging" state would be a workaround. Presumably this is equivalent to "Plugged in to AC". Thanks for considering.

Zkuste :Typ nabíječky. Je tam na výběr Akumulátor, USB, Bezdrátová.

As described, the problem is not the type of charger, the problem is that the event detects the charging state, not the connection state. In other words:
What I want:
I don't understand why this is not available. Tasker, Macrodroid, Easer, Automation, they all have it. Maybe I'm still missing something.

Není potřeba nic dělat, pokud odpojíte nabíječku, tak už událost nepoběží a aktivuje se další událost podle parametrů. Můžete do události u nabíjení dát restart události.

That is not the problem. I have edited the explanation.

Just changed the name of this issue. There is still a problem but it is only about terminology.
The way to get a "Plugged in" event is to select
Battery sensor > Charging > Do not usetogether withBattery sensor > Charger type > USB + Accumulator.In other words, the "sensor" is not detecting the battery, it is detecting the cable! Took me weeks to discover how to make this work. Best to change the name so it is more clear. Thanks for your work.
