Wake me up when my battery is running low and I'm not charging

Feature requests
1

When I have started sleep tracking and my battery is running low (perhaps 5% left), I would like to be woken up in the case when my device (e.g. phone) is not charging. Either by an additional alarm or some alert that wakes me up.

This should avoid my phone from running out of battery, and therefore avoiding me from missing my alarm in the morning.

Context: sometimes the charging of my phone is interrupted unexpectedly while I’m sleeping, causing my phone to run out of battery and turn off while I’m sleeping and therefore I’m missing my alarm in the morning. It can give me more peace of mind if I can be woken up automatically to correct the charging issue and then go back to sleep.

Not sure if it has been requested before, but so far could not find any similar feature request.

Hi @jeffreyvdbrande, the app has “standby” mode, which interrupts the tracking when the battery reaches a configured level (5/10/15%). This should save enough battery for the alarm in the morning. Will your phone not last till the morning with 15%, if the tracking is halted? Are there other apps running besides Sleep?

Hi @lenka-urbandroid, I just checked and found the standby mode enabled for battery percentage below 10%. I’ll set it to 15% and see if it works, in case it happened again. Thank you.

Still, do you think it could be an additional option to the standby mode, to alert or wake me up on case the battery keeps draining, even when standby mode is activated?

Waking up users in the middle of sleep is quite problematic. Would you really prefer to be woken up during the night to plug in the phone?

Personally I would prefer to be woken up during the night instead of not being woken up at all.

Perhaps it could be an option that could be turned off by default, but people like me could turn it on manually?

I have a Tasker profile that announces “Don’t let me die” on my phone when it hits 9% battery.
