What is the current wisdom about having an android device always plugged in? Some people say that it will kill and pillow the battery, but does it really?
I don't know. I think they are pretty good at managing battery, and have a new setting for maxing it out at 80% charge, but I don't think I'd put it near anything expensive for years on end.
The trick of retrofitting any battery powered device into a wired one is to remove the battery. No matter what, Li-ion batteries cannot sustain permanent power. Expensive adapters and new Androids can regulate power well, as can automations, but the best worry-free option is battery removal.
Edit: I've just remembered Fairphone, they're bossing the mobile repair ability front and have removable batteries like pre-2012. Could get one of those
In the past people used tasker to charge at a certain threshold. Check with homeassistant people to see what they do.
