Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I am traveling and sporadically charging from wall power, I find it more useful to set the charge limit to 100% and disable "Stop charging when sleeping". When on a desktop dock with power passthrough, I find it more useful to set the charge limit at 80% and enable "Stop charging when sleeping".

Describe the solution you'd like Set different charge rules and limits for wall power vs dock power. Dock devices may be detected.
