OK, need more clarification on this. So far I started a new profile
"Auto Charge." I've got contexts as Power = Any and Orientation =
Standing Up (since I prefer my phone in that orientation while in the
car). I've got those contexts triggering a variable set (variable is
"carchrg" and value set to 1). Questions:

1. How do I get the variable being set to 1 to trigger the setting
changes (e.g., screen brightness, volume, etc.)?
2. Once the phone is not standing up and not plugged in, will the
variable automatically clear itself and revert the settings back to
their pre-variable state?

Thanks!
