Prevent iPad from falling asleep with settings

[olekenneth]

Describe the solution you'd like
I have a iPad tablet on the wall with a charger I can control. So I would like to have the screen not turn off during the day (charger on) and turn off at night (charger off). And then I have to manually wake it up again next morning.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It's straight forward to implement:
UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true

But using this library you already have to options/settings I want. Always/whenCharging/disabled
https://github.com/ochococo/Insomnia

The settings could always be exposed as a switch to frontend - for other automations.
Additional context

This will require implementing support for switches and/or service calls in the mobile_app integration.

Not necessarily. The last sentence I wrote. Is really just a nice to have feature. Not need to have.

I really just would want the option in the app to keep the screen on while connected to power.

What I'd like to avoid is writing an automation engine in the app, e.g. "when the battery turns to state off, re-enable the auto timer". Feeding this information and control into Home Assistant is much more consistent and easier to add more features to.

Sure. But like I'm saying in the original post; adding Insomnia (library) this will happen automatically.
