What is the monthly electric cost for:
Refrig
TV
Interior lights
Exterior lights
Garage door openers
Wine cooler refrig
WiFi
Ceiling fans
Microwave

Yes, usage determines cost. Yes, specific models determine cost..............but just wondering if someone has gone thru and looked at EnergyGuide labels or other sources.

I have a Sense installed that provides realtime measurements and time period summaries. A few examples below.

You can also have it alert you if something remains on more than X amount of time. It alerted me the AC was running continuously a couple of weeks ago due to blower motor failing.

The Sense unit takes time to learn and discover devices and is less than perfect. Devices get burried in the "Always On" category but you can monitor real time to measure anything by simply turning it off and on.
