I also thought I saw posts on electric monitors previously but have been unsuccessful in searching for the old threads on this site.

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

I've seen these advertised on Amazon. The basic idea is the monitor "knows" what a refrigerator draw looks like and what a dryer draw looks like and can start to log when these types of devices run. It makes sense but I don't own one so can't talk about how well they work.

I have seen others on this board talk about using these monitors. Maybe they will reply and provide some info.
