this is almost instantaneous for me… maybe you have some delay due to other issues?
Whis a second automation rule i can keep it charged between 80-100% if i’m away for long time.
Anyway no battery drain and no need to check notifications on my phone.
Home that helps 
how in the hole of holy mother jezus can i make this work for my laptop battery? i got home assistant installed somehow, got my tapo switch to finaly show up in home assistant devices list but can’t get home assistant to actually do the command I set. I have bluestacks running as well with home assistant mobile app so that is how i figured i would trick it to think my laptop is the phone but no dice. nothing happens at any battery level. would really appreciate some help
can you see the laptop battery changing during use (discharging)?
not in bluestacks no. im not sure in home assistant wherei could see that if you meant it in that invironment
you should install home assistant companion app on your laptop… not bluestack
how do i do that without bluestacks? the home assistant companion app…is an…app. runs on android or ios. my laptop runs windows 8. i don’t get it. [not trying to be a wiseass]
Oh windows… I don’t think they released a windows companion app. So no battery or other sensors are generated.

Very cool project!
Right, got everything installed from IoT Link to MQTT and Tapo smart plug integrated with HACS. I can see the discharge level of the battery. But when i run this automation it still only works SOMETIMES after which it just won’t anymore. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have it set to start charge at 64% and stop at 85%…but then sometimes it starts at 64% but doesn’t stop at 85%.
running win 8.1 if that matters, not win 10
the blueprint of @vorion (
Turn off phone charging after the phone is charged helped sort out the problem where the turning off switch wasn’t working at the set battery level; basically I am running both blueprints now 
i use raazvan’s blueprint which works for starting up the switch at certain battery discharge level and then voiron’s will shut it down at certain charged level.
Worked for a couple days but now MQTT broker can not read battery level anymore, just reads ‘unknown’. I don’t understand, nothing has been changed yet it no longer works even though it did earlier. Configuration file, login, IP address all the same as before.
Hello, for my part it does not work. At least not completely, I don’t know what prevents the command from working properly, but when my smartphone discharges at the given percentage, my plug turns on well, but when it charges and reaches the given percentage or exceeds it, my plug does not turn off… Does anyone have an idea?
Hello
Doesn’t work at all
Shame !

Hello Nicku,
