Good to know

Reported capacity and missing readings

Does it measure power at the wall?

No. PortSense reports charger capacity, not electricity drawn from the wall. A cable, dock, or shared charger can limit available power.

Will every accessory show every field?

The system may not expose every field for your computer or accessory; missing fields appear as unavailable.
