Story: Extend Battery lifespan of Galaxy Devices (Battery Care Plus)
Related Products: Galaxy S22, Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Watch 4, and SmartHome Device (Smart Power Outlet)
Situation:
A user who works from home wants to charge his/her Galaxy S22. A pre-defined Bixby Routine called “Charging” kicks in when plugged into the charger and runs the predefined “Battery Care” scene in the SmartThings app. When the Battery Care scene is running, notifications received to Galaxy S22 are forwarded to his/her Galaxy Tab S8 (if it's being actively used) or Galaxy Watch 4. Once the Galaxy S22 charges to the pre-defined charging level (i.e. 80%), Bixby Routine stops, SmartThings app sends a signal to the Smart Power Outlet to switch it off. Then a notification is sent to Galaxy Tab S8 and Watch 4 for saying the device is charged to the defined percentage. So that the user can pick up the Galaxy S22 and resume working.
Additional Notes:
This scenario can be implemented for charging other devices like Galaxy Tablets, Wearables (Buds & Watches), other than Galaxy Smartphones. Users can set up pre-defined charging levels for each device using the SmartThings app and stop charging with Smart Power Outlets.
