Able to set from the command line?

[mike-lloyd03]

I can set the charging limits from the commandline with framework_tool but these changes are not reflected by the extension.

I'm trying to set up a systemd-timer to change the charge limit depending on the time of day. Is there a way to set ful or bal from the command line?

I also tried using gsettings with:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.Battery-Health-Charging charging-mode 'ful' 

But no luck.

Thanks for the great extension.

Unfortunately that wont work. Also it is a user extension and schema are in the extension folder so the command too is incorrect

gsettings \
--schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Battery-Health-Charging@maniacx.github.com/schemas \
set org.gnome.shell.extensions.Battery-Health-Charging charging-mode 'ful'

But unfortunately, the extension only read charging-mode on startup and changing charging-mode wont set the threshold.

Only workaround would be either disable extension > set gsetting > enable extension.

gnome-extensions disable Battery-Health-Charging@maniacx.github.com

gsettings \
--schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Battery-Health-Charging@maniacx.github.com/schemas \
set org.gnome.shell.extensions.Battery-Health-Charging charging-mode 'ful'

gnome-extensions enable Battery-Health-Charging@maniacx.github.com

If you do not want to disabling / enabling extension , you will have to modify the extension. By adding another gsetting properties and using it to apply threshold

If you apply this git diff patch, you will be able to set threshold like this

gsettings \
--schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Battery-Health-Charging@maniacx.github.com/schemas \
set org.gnome.shell.extensions.Battery-Health-Charging set-charging-mode 'ful'
