I guess you are right. I am not an expert but what I found on the [SDK page](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/energy#home-batteries):

```json
{
  "name": { "en": "My Driver" },
  "images": {
    "small": "/drivers/my_driver/assets/images/small.png",
    "large": "/drivers/my_driver/assets/images/large.png"
  },
  "class": "battery",
  "capabilities": ["measure_power", "measure_battery", "meter_power.charged", "meter_power.discharged"],
  "capabilitiesOptions": {
    "meter_power.charged": {
      "title": { "en": "Charged Energy" }
    },
    "meter_power.discharged": {
      "title": { "en": "Discharged Energy" }
    }
  },
  "energy": {
    "homeBattery": true,
    "meterPowerImportedCapability": "meter_power.charged",
    "meterPowerExportedCapability": "meter_power.discharged"
  }
}

```

You can set the `meter_power` to `.import` or `.export` for the power plug but it seems it has to be `.charged` and `.discharged`?

According to the SDK page you can use `battery_charging_state` if the battery does not support the charging and discharging as separate values. But this also doesnt not work for me.
