This project provides a solution to detect when a charger is connected to a computer, even when the computer is in sleep mode. Upon detection, a sound is played to notify the user. The service is configured to run in the background using systemd, with the capability to handle events even during sleep.
- Linux with systemd configured.
- Terminal access with administrator privileges.
- A functional audio device.
