Depending on which XBee module and firmware you are working with, you could use an ADC line or the %V command.

Your external processor would do the following:

AT%V <CR>
Value sent out
ATCN <CR>
ok

Which XBee product are you working with?

commented Apr 28 by mvut Veteran of the Digi Community (15,515 points)

Xstics, Wall router, Connect port x etc...

Not all of the products you listed offer you an option to view the current draw. As far as I am aware, only the OEM module offer you that option and only the newer products such as the S2C or XBee 3.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. What I am referring to is that the hardware such as the X4, Wall Router and XStick do not offer an option to report its Energy consumption.
