Abstract
Example implementations relate to docking stations. A docking station can include a power sensing component to determine an amount of supplied power received from a power supply coupled to the docking station, a host power port to power a host device (HD), a peripheral power port (PPP) to power a peripheral device, and a controller to receive a signal indicative of a change in power demands of a HD or power demands of a PPP, redetermine an amount of host power in response to on the detected change, redetermine an amount of dock power in response to the detected change, and cause transmission of the redetermined host power to the HD and the redetermined dock power to the PPP.
