A bit more than a gimmick.
- A regularly occurring high load that tracks temperature is likely a heat pump
- A regularly occurring smaller load that doesn't track temperature is likely a refrigerator
- A small load that aligns with sunset could be lighting
- A small load that occurs in the morning could be a water heater
- A continuous load is the "always on"
At the very least the "always on" is useful. There are a number of chargers and things that I leave plugged in because they can't use that much electricity. Seeing the "always on" number has made me reconsider some of that.
