So as a one month experiment we evaluated all things we leave plugged in just for convenience, don’t use. For the second bill period, we unplugged everything in 2nd primary, and two guest bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (lamps Alexas nightlights). All chargers (laptops, iPads phones robot printers) until we need them about every 3-7days. Toaster, blenders, coffee pots. One doesn’t realize how many items are plugged in but not being used until you do a room by room.
As an experiment for our grandson, paper will see if his pre calculations are correct, evaluate watt per item, and how app is calculating use. Plus if life of products will increase
