Readme
signalk-battery-voltage-engine-state
Detect whether the vessel engine is running based on the voltage level of the starter battery. Why the starter battery? Once the engine is started, this battery should be powered by the alternator's engine and its voltage should be over 13 V.
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
