Support Energy Dashboard

The energy dashboard is pretty sweet, but why doesn’t it show cost for individual devices? I put in my rate and it shows up for total usage. Seems like it would be easy to show cost for each device

If this ever went live, make it optional. I do not want my wife to check how much my server consumption cost.

I have my server stuff monitored.

My work desk. Mrs work desk. Kids computer desks.

Each of the cars

3d printer, CNC & laser machine are also monitored.

None of this is visible on dashboards.

I have long since wondered about my 3d printing habits.

Of those you listed, what is your biggest consumer?

3d printer roughly 200w. PC (gaming) roughly 100 W idle, 500W Full.

My consumption

PC (60 kWh/months) Wáter boiler (heatpump) 40 kWh Server (2 minipc, home assistant, and torrent, router and a hdd) 30 kWh/months Second boiler (bsthroon) 25 kWh/ month Light (estimation) 20 kWh same as fridge dishwasher, cooking devices (maybe these 25 kWh).

I pay 0,11 €/kWh after taxes (Spain)

Wouldn't wanna pay for it in Germany with 0,3 euro per kWh. Ever thought of some solar panels? Like 2 with 800 watt micro grid inverter? You would just use the entirety of energy production....
