Package: powerdevil

Description: KDE power management service for Plasma
PowerDevil is the internal name of the KDE power management service for Plasma. It is responsible for some (but not all) interactions with hardware functionality.
The service will:
 - Suspend or shut down sessions under certain conditions such as
 user inactivity, closing the laptop lid or pressing the power
 button.
 - Adjust the brightness level of displays and keyboards, or turn
 display backlights off/on altogether.
 - Change settings according to the current power state (plugged in,
 battery, low battery), which can be customized in System
 Settings.
 - Monitor the current battery charge, and set charge thresholds for
 battery-powered devices that support it.
 - Keep track of system state - e.g. suspend/idle/etc. inhibitors,
 activities, screen locking - to adjust power management behaviors
 accordingly.
 - Communicate with underlying services such as UPower,
 power-profiles-daemon, ddcutil, and/or systemd to implement some
 of the above.
 - Provide a D-Bus interface for other Plasma components such as the
 Power Management applet or the Brightness and Color applet.
This package contains the daemon started alongside the Plasma session.
