[QUESTION] How to get the charging power #184

Hi. Is there any topic for the charging power? Is it drivetrain/power? If so, why is it showing as -X.XXX?

nanomad commented 7 months ago

It's the realtime reading of the power being supplied by the BMS

Negative values: power is being fed into the battery (charging or regen braking)
Positive values: power is being used (AC, heater, just driving around).

If you are interested in just the "power during charging" I suggest you look at that value while the isCharging topic reports true or while the charger plug is connected

Great, thank you!
