      When it is a realized actual product, I’ll be happy to look into it.

  Why is it not possible to do this by connecting phone to pc and running this as software? This is cool but would be nice to avoid the extra hardware.

    I’m guessing the hardware is necessary for full info. Your phone probably doesn’t support 240W so it wouldn’t be able to tell if the cable was able to hit that charging rate.

  With the paragraph covering counterfeit cables, I wonder if it tests incorrectly mapped pinouts. I recall that being a pretty wild QA issue with a bunch of previous cables. Even name brand ones.
