Summary: Feature Request: Smarter low power notification?
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
My bluetooth mouse is kinda low on battery (< 10%) and KDE keeps warning me
about it, everytime the percentage reading changes. This time it's 8%, minutes
later it's 9%, later 5%, secs later 4%, then 5% e.t.c. I know it's low but it
can keep going for at least hours. Moreover, KDE sends notification everytime
the reading changes (at least that's what I guess), and it's annoying, there's
literally pages of past notification in the list.
I see ppl try to solve it by lowering the "low battery" threshold, but I think
there must be a better approach, plus you need to change the setting according
to every device that has a battery inside.
Like, if the battery is low (e.g. < 10%), then warn the user only when the
battery reading reaches historically minimum value?
E.g. :
10% (warns) -> 9% (warns) -> 10% (doesn't warn) -> 8% (warns) -> 5% (warns) ->
6% (doesn't warn) -> 7% (doesn't warn) -> 80% (reset historical minimum value,
because the user likely changed the battery)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a bluetooth mouse
2. Use it till the battery nearly dies
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE spams notification
EXPECTED RESULT
Smarter notification
