Power monitoring and history

View supported batteries, charging sources, inverter/chargers, AC inputs, temperatures, and power history in one model.

Power systems tend to expose many devices while the operator is trying to answer a smaller set of questions: which sources are supplying energy, where it is going, how the batteries are doing, and how long the present state can continue. BoatKit maps supported Victron, Mastervolt, Calex, and other equipment into shared concepts such as batteries, solar chargers, inverter/chargers, converters, and AC inputs.

Depending on the source, the resulting view can include state of charge and health, voltage, current, power, capacity, estimated time remaining, temperature, charging stage, and shore or generator context. A mixed-vendor installation can therefore be understood as one electrical system without hiding the identity or diagnostics of the equipment that supplied each value.

In Power System settings, those reported measurements and statuses appear as separate named rows. Each alertable row can carry independent low and high numeric limits, an abnormal-state alert for statuses such as availability and supported charger, inverter, or converter faults, or an active-condition alert for states such as overcharge. Matching dashboard gauges can also display below and above warning and alert boundaries together. Mode, phase, algorithm, and source-type rows remain useful typed information. Advanced controls add warning or alarm severity, activation and recovery dwell times, and numeric hysteresis.

History adds the part an instantaneous dashboard cannot show. Review charging cycles, solar production, changing loads, shore-power periods, and forecast context over the same time range. Supported controls remain tied to their integration and require the appropriate BoatKit access level.
