[Feature Request] Sensors dependent on power source

[stephen-hardy]

Thank you for Stats! I didn't even know about it until I found that iStats couldn't give me the volts and wattage usage on my new M3 Air. You've done a great job on a free app. Thank you for your time!

Sorry to be requesting a feature without contributing a pull request. I'm a JavaScript dev that doesn't have the time to wade in and figure out what I'd need to in order to implement this change, but...

I'd love the ability to show one set of sensors when on battery, and another when plugged in. When plugged in, I'd like to know how many volts and watts I'm consuming from the power adapter. That's how I have it now. When on battery, I'd like to show the battery usage watts. I can show battery usage watts, and the consumed volts/watts, but then I'm showing three sensors when only two are relevant in either condition (battery/plugged in). And, that wouldn't matter so much, except the notch limits my icon space. I have Bartender, which would allow me to show/hide icons based on whether I'm on battery or plugged in. But, I can either show or hide whole menu bar items. If I put consumed watts/volts AND battery watts on, that is three sensors in the same menu bar item and Bartender can't split them to show/hide based on power source.

Since I'm not asking for a new sensor, and it seems like those are a lot of work to find, hopefully this is an easier lift. An alternative that would get me what I'm looking for is to make two sensor menu bar items. I'd put plugged in stats in one, battery stats in the other, and show/hide with Bartender. Fine by me if that is easier.

And, of course, you owe me nothing. If you aren't interested in this, no worries! I'm just grateful it exists. But, thought I'd share my idea in case you see value.

Hi. Thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunately it will not be added, it requires a lot of work for very personal feature. And I'm very limited in time for a project.
