charging adpter info

hi guys is there any software that allows me to see like the total power draw from the laptop charging adapter?
and oso does the charging adapter have a temperature sensor in it?

A watt meter you can plug into the wall and have your laptop charger plug into it.  For temps not really, don't think any adapter has a built-in temp sensor.

as far as i know there isnt such a software.for your second question kind of there is but only for over  heating protection

this only shows power that adaptor draw adaptor efficiency isn included and  that efficiency is not constant

Of course, but OP seems to only want to see how much he's drawing, which this will do.

Actually, the watt-meter in the picture does show voltage, power-draw and power-factor. "Efficiency" is a function of voltage, power-draw and power-factor, so this meter is actually really good. I have one myself.

sort of these thing dont calculate power factor stuff that a lot of SMPSs have

I doubt OP is doing this needing such exacting accuracy.

As stated, the one in the picture does.

its not accuracy power factor stuff  in smps isnt like other thing adopters current draw isnt a sine wave (as with other things) it will make calculating thing complecated
