PowercalcProfile Library

Contribute or request a device

The most useful way to add a missing device is to measure the exact physical model you own. Your results become a reusable Powercalc profile for the whole community.

Measure and contribute a profile

The Powercalc measure tool controls the device, reads a compatible power meter and prepares the files needed for a contribution.

  1. 1. Confirm the identity

    Search by manufacturer, exact model ID, aliases and barcode. A shared profile needs a unique model identifier; generic identifiers can represent different hardware.

  2. 2. Measure the device

    Use an accurate meter and let readings settle. The guided Home Assistant app is recommended on Home Assistant OS; the CLI supports additional setups and meters.

  3. 3. Review and submit

    Check the generated model and measurements, then submit them for review through the documented pull-request workflow.

Cannot measure it yourself?

You can ask the community, but a request can only be fulfilled by someone who owns the exact same physical model and can measure it. Include the full manufacturer, model ID and product name.

Request a light profile

The dedicated request area currently covers light profiles.

Before submitting

Search the library first. Existing profiles may already list your model as an alias under the original manufacturer.
