Trigger: Battery Temperature

The Battery Temperature trigger fires when the battery temperature increases or decreases to a specified level, or on any temperature change. This is useful for monitoring device thermals and taking protective actions when the device gets too hot or cold.

Options

Increase/Decrease - Trigger fires when temperature reaches a specific threshold
- Increases to - Fires when battery temperature rises to or above the specified value
- Decreases to - Fires when battery temperature falls to or below the specified value
Any Change - Trigger fires whenever the battery temperature changes

Configuration

When selecting "Increase/Decrease" mode, you can specify the threshold:

Use the slider to set a temperature value in degrees Celsius (default is 30 degrees C)
Alternatively, select a variable to dynamically determine the threshold temperature
Choose whether to trigger on increases or decreases

Variable Support

You can use an integer variable to specify the temperature threshold instead of a fixed value. This allows for dynamic thresholds that can be changed at runtime.

Examples

Example 1: Overheat Protection

Triggers

Battery Temperature >= 45 degrees C

Actions

Notification: Warning - Battery temperature high!
Disable Wi-Fi
Set Screen Brightness: 10%

Example 2: Log Temperature Changes

Triggers

Battery Temperature (Any Change)

Actions

Write to File: Battery temp: [battery_temp] at [date_time]

Notes

The trigger listens for the system broadcast ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED to monitor temperature
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius
The trigger only fires once when the temperature transitions to the new state (for increase/decrease mode), not on every subsequent change where the condition remains true
The "Any Change" option is useful for logging or monitoring temperature patterns over time
Not all devices report precise temperature readings - some may report in larger increments
