I automated MacBook charging with Shortcuts, Home Assistant, and BetterTouchTool. Two Shortcuts manage charging based on battery level and verify charger state, while BetterTouchTool triggers them at key moments. The setup ensures smarter charging and alerts me if something goes wrong.

I built a Shortcut that pulls Dysart et al.’s fire ban feed, checks for “Fire Ban,” and shows the result in a simple HTML card. It’s fast, customizable, and gives me an instant, glanceable update from raw municipal data.

A Shortcut that pulls Toronto’s beach water quality data and shows a simple, color-coded report in Safari.

Shortcut for real-time TTC service alerts in a clean, scannable view.
