Is there any way to remotely get a low battery notification for my Steam Deck? I don’t use it every day, and batteries don’t like to sit on a charger continuously, so it might sit idle for a couple days, (relatively) slowly losing charge.
I have the Steam App on my phone, and Valve has my email address. It would be great if the Steam Deck could send out an SOS before it dies.
There might be a Decky plugin that allows you to send alerts likes that.
Edit: here’s the plugins list.
I decided to Take One More Step here and go poke around the plugins. AutoSuspend seems to be the closest match, it’s able to make an audible noise and send a toast. There doesn’t appear to be anything that has yet been built to get a notification to a remote device.
With one slightly weird exception
KDE connect is installed by default on your deck, and has the ability to pass notifications to a connected device. It would technically be possible to permanently Bluetooth connect the deck to another device to facilitate remote notifications, but this would be expensive battery-wise and probably defeat the purpose of having the notifications in the first place
Yeah, I was worried about the battery drain of monitoring the battery, but I figured I’d ask in case there was a built-in solution.
Thanks for looking through the plug-ins while I was sleeping. I’ll take a look at Autosuspend.
