Seco app definitely is a guesstimate. Our always on every month is $19, our pool pump running 8 hours $6. Refrigerator $4

So as an experiment, in March, unplugged everything except for microwave, fridge, wifi. We have Seco and TECO. Pool pump no heat, 8hours per day, AC turned to 79, which it didn’t run. We were out of town, for 24 days, of the 29 month report.

Next Seco report while we were gone. Always on $16 yet it also listed Refrigerator as $7 and pool pump $9. I plugged in everything on the first day of next billing cycle. Following month Always on $17, pool pump $11.

Seco app is a nice toy, but accurate not even close. I found the always on didn’t change much by unplugging.
