My electric bill is too high. I want to try to track down the high utilization appliances. I have a ton of the usual HA stuff, several computers, whole house audio, dedicated audio....
I have a smart electric meter and use Rainforest eagle to monitor. I have the Rainforest plugin, so can track current usage and use Jon00 graphing to plot it out.
I also have the Rainforest App as a screen on HS Touch and like to monitor usage from there.
What I'd like to do is to track what appliance are on and correlate to usage. For some appliances it may be easy if there is an associated HS device that is either on or off e.g. my central vacuum. For others, I may need to track manually. For this, I guess I could create a bunch of virtual devices.
Curious on how others are doing this and for any suggestions?
