Sleep issues

Hello,

I truly appreciate the effort you put into this project. However, I wanted to bring to your attention some issues I have encountered while using this application.

1. Sleep is not disabled when disabling the Power Adapter

2. Sleep gets disabled when requesting charging to max/full

Expected behavior would be the reverse of the above.

Environment:

MacBook Air M2
MacOS Ventura 13.5.2

Thank you!

When Battery Falls Below Charge Threshold, Power Adapter Does Not Auto-Enable

Here's my issue:

1. Disable power adapter.
2. Set battery charge threshold to 20%.
3. Initiate battery consuming activity to drain battery.
4. Battery is allowed to deplete to 0% and does not charge when it falls below 20%.

Is there a way to programmatically (or via the CLI) enable the power adapter when battery falls below the specified threshold?

This would fully address my concern. Thank you!
