LSPM - Laptop Smart Power Manager
The Laptop Smart Power Manager is a lightweight tool
designed to autonomously manage laptop battery
charge cycles with the help of a Smart Plug.
Description
When we are at home or at work, we may tend to leave our
laptop plugged in and constantly charging.
The problem of this practice is that it will damage the
laptop battery prematurely.
To extend the battery life, it is recommended to unplug
the charger before the battery reaches 100% and plug it
in long before the battery is completely discharged.
However, constantly keeping an eye on your computer's
battery level turns out to be difficult in practice.
This is what the Laptop Smart Power Manager has to
offer: it takes care of managing, for you, the charging
cycles of your laptop in order to optimize its battery
life.
To achieve this, LSPM needs an additional accessory:
a Smart Plug.
The laptop must be plugged into the Smart Plug and both
must be connected to the same local network:

The operating principle is quite simple:

if the battery level drops below 20%, LSPM tells the
Smart Plug to turn on. The laptop then starts charging.
if the battery level reaches 100%, LSPM tells the
Smart Plug to turn off. The laptop then stops charging.
