New variable: Charging_State

Today I wanted to write a task where I could check if the phone is charging or not and then do something based on that state e.g.:

IF screen=off AND charging_state = non, THEN wiki-off

When I take my tablet with me during travel, for some reason it starts to drain the battery when the screen is off and the wifi is on.

I'm proposing a new variable: charging_state. It would have these values ac, usb, none, wireless

These values can be taken from the built-in Power state.

Creating multiple profiles to make up our own variable is possible (for example) but it involves work.

Listing some other people who have also asked for a "charging_state" variable that tells us if the device is charging or not.

I tried using the extended variable %myPOWER listed here but it didnt work.
