I think I was expecting the wrong thing from sensorsd -- thanks for shedding light on what's going on. I'll use a shell script command on watthour3 to check the other vals through sysctl directly, as you suggest. I wish that hw.sensors.acpibat0.raw0 changed state from OK to something else when it was discharging. I wonder why this isn't the case: CHARGING, DISCHARGING, IDLE would be great additions I think. Maybe it's done the way it is for good reason. Mark C.
