signalk-alternator-engine-on
Detect whether vessel engine is running based on power generated by the alternator. Useful if you have a device for measuring alternator power/current, for example a Victron SmartShunt configured as a "DC meter".
Engine running state is useful for many other Signal K plugins, including:
- signalk-hour-meter - keep track of engine hours
- signalk-polar - create dynamic polar tables for a sailing vessel when not motoring
