Meraki - PoE usage and requested

Raphael_L — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:45:07 GMT

Hi ,

I was asked to get the PoE usage and requirements of all connected devices. I would like to know which devices are powered by PoE and what power are they requesting. This can be viewed directly from the dashboard :

or Switch -> Device Health :

Endgoal is to obtain a list like that :

30491 clients are requesting 30W

1029 clients are requesting 60W

39 clients are requesting 90W

I couldn't find any operation that would give me this info other than : getDeviceLiveToolsPowerUsage / createDeviceLiveToolsPowerUsage , the problem is that I have 3200 MS switches and I'm not really into running 6400 calls 😴.

Any other way I could achieve that ?

Hey Raphael,

Have you tried getOrganizationSwitchPortsUsageHistoryByDeviceByInterval?

Oren.

Hey Oren !

Yes I have ! It gives me part of what I'm trying to get. It gives me the power draw but not the power requested by the PD.
