ah ok, i see, you right. In usb.cpp:
double usbdevice::power_usage(struct result_bundle *result, struct
parameter_bundle *bundle)
{
double power;
double factor;
double util;
if (rootport || !cached_valid)
return 0.0;
power = 0;
factor = get_parameter_value(index, bundle);
util = get_result_value(r_index, result);
power += util * factor / 100.0;
return power;
}
but, if i understand it correctly, this values are not provided by usb.
If you start "powertop --calibrate" it will switch on/off some devices
and measure global power usage.

Which version of powertop are you actually using? None of current versions would show you Watt usage for devices. you can use "watch grep . *" instead and check fallowing fields: runtime_suspended_time - suspend time.

You can check if there is application which is using the device by 'lsof | grep "/dev/video"'. Also looks power usage estimation of 'power top' should be used when battery provides power, and the data isn't correct if power is provided from power adapter, if I remember correctly.

Since then, I've confirmed that I don't have the problem some time after reboot. It may be that the device doesn't seem to sleep well after I've used it once. What's interesting, is that I see this when power is plugged in: Power est. Events/sCategory Description 8.18 W100.0% Device USB device: Yubico Yubikey II (Yubico) 8.13 W100.0% Device USB device: Integrated Camera (Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd.) Somehow I know that my Yubikey isn't using 8W, so powertop numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt. Once I go to batteries, I see this: Summary: 760.1 wakeups/second, 718.9 GPU ops/seconds, 0.0 VFS ops/sec and 6.9% CPU use Power est. Usage Events/sCategory Description 8.32 W100.0% Device USB device: Yubico Yubikey II (Yubico) 2.52 W 73.3% Device Display backlight So at least for now, the camera does sleep ok, until later when it probably won't again. I'm somehow thinking there is a driver or hardware problem when the device does get stuck in a mode where it won't sleep properly again until the next reboot (just unloading/loading the driver does not fix this). > > Any ideas? > > You might get more information from a kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG > enabled.

Cannot shutdown power use from built in webcam in thinkpad T530 questions]
Howdy, I have a T530 with a built in webcam that uses the uvcvideo driver. Kernel 3.10.6, but the problem has been there for many kernel versions. >From time to time (not always) it shows up at the top of powertop with an unexplained high power use while I'm not using the camera.
