Battery meter. Display: "plugged in, not charging"

[andrew_berge]

Hello, i could use a little help with my battery indicator skin.
My laptop has a battery management app. It only lets the battery charge to 60% (this extends the battery's lifetime, or so the app says, anyway).
So basically, if the battey is plugged in and at 60% or higher, the windows battery icon will indicate "Plugged in, not charging" in the taskbar.

Is there a plugin or something that will let me display this info in my skin? I couldn't seem to find anything in Perfmon or PowerPlugin.

Thanks,
Andrew

All of this information is available through the Power plugin. You'll just need three separate measures to get each type of information (percentage, plugged in/not plugged in, and charging/not charging).

Here's a basic example skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureBatteryPluggedIn]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowerPlugin
PowerState=ACLine
Substitute="0":"On battery","1":"Plugged in"

[MeasureBatteryCharging]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowerPlugin
PowerState=Status
Substitute="0":"no battery","1":"charging","2":"not charging","3":"not charging","4":"not charging"

[MeasureBatteryPercent]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowerPlugin
PowerState=Percent

[String]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureBatteryPluggedIn
MeasureName2=MeasureBatteryCharging
MeasureName3=MeasureBatteryPercent
Text=%1, %2. (%3%)
SolidColor=0,0,0,217
FontColor=255,255,255
FontSize=20
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=1

[MeasureBatteryCharging]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowerPlugin
PowerState=Status
Substitute="0":"no battery","1":"charging","2":"not charging","3":"not charging","4":"not charging"

Ah! That's what i was missing. It didn't occur to me that, even when plugged into the wall, if the system reports the battery as 'critical', it implies that it's not being charged.
Thanks a lot

EDIT: Odd, Power Plugin's "Status" is only reporting "No Battery". Switching PowerState to "Status2" works, though.
