Automatic charging stop at 85% with Shortcuts for iPhone and iPad?

Hey all! I have a question regarding the use of Shortcuts to control the charging of my devices. On my iPhone 15 I have managed to set a Shortcut that stops charging at 85% to extend battery life. This is done through a combination of Shortcuts and a smart plug. Now I wonder, is it possible to do something similar for an iPad?

I'm aware that iPads handle charging differently and have built-in features to optimize battery health, but I'd like to have more control over the charging process. Has anyone here on the forum tried this or know if there is a workaround to get the iPad to stop charging at a specific percentage?

iPad, iPadOS 17

If you do have s mart plug, add it the to Home application: Add an accessory to the Home app - Apple Support. If "Home" is turned on both iPhone and iPad in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Show All, the smart plug will also be available on the iPad. Then you won't have any issues creating the personal automation (you'll need to create it on both iPhone and iPad as automations are not synched between devices.)
