How can I count the power in watts consumed by each motor in the logs

2

Using MAVExplorer you can type graph (ESC[x].Curr*BAT.Volt), with x replacing the ESC number (remember numbering starts at 0). This will give you the watts each motor consumed at any given time.

I don’t use firmware with DShot

If you don’t have individual ESC current monitoring then the option would be to average. Again in MAVExplorer (BAT.Curr*BAT.Volt)/x with x being the number of motors.
